Abstract: In semantic segmentation tasks the Jaccard Index, or Intersection over Union (IoU), is often used as a measure of success. While this measure is more representative than per-pixel accuracy, state-of-the-art deep neural networks are still trained on accuracy by using Binary Cross Entropy loss. In this research, an alternative is used where deep neural networks are trained for a segmentation task of human faces by optimizing directly an approximation of IoU. When using this approximation, IoU becomes differentiable and can be used as a loss function. The comparison between IoU loss and Binary Cross Entropy loss is made by testing two deep neural network models on multiple datasets and data splits. The results show that training directly on IoU significantly increases performance for both models compared to training on conventional Binary Cross Entropy loss.
