Relative attributes indicate the strength of a particular attribute between image pairs. We introduce a deep Siamese network with rank SVM loss function, called Deep-RankSVM, that can decide which one of a pair of images has a stronger presence of a specific attribute. The network is trained in an end-to-end fashion to jointly learn the visual features and the ranking function. The trained network for an attribute can predict the relative strength of that attribute in novel images. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach against the state-of-the-art methods on four image benchmark datasets: LFW-10, PubFig, UTZap50K-2 and UTZap50K-lexi datasets. Deep-RankSVM surpasses state-of-art in terms of the average accuracy across attributes, on three of the four image benchmark datasets.
