How do you set the MEAN? about face_verification_experiment HOT 3 CLOSED

I don't use the mean file for training and testing.

Thanks for your reply!
I use the Yi sun's detection and alignment method, and about 200 photos fail to detect the faces, do you think it would impact my results? I think the impact should be very small.
And I can not find out what it's wrong. Do you have some advice to me?

According to my experiments and others' email, the situation you mentioned may lead to 1%~2% dropped.

To improve the results on LFW, some advice is as follows：

1. Check the alignment method between training set and testing set. The image size for training set is 144144, while it is 128128 for testing. So it is possible to make a mistake.
2. Don't decrease the learning rate too quickly. I fixed the learning rate(1e-3) for about 1,000,000 iterations.
