The state of modelling face processing in humans with deep learning
British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 656-676, May 2026.Abstract Deep learning models trained for facial recognition now surpass the highest performing human participants. Recent evidence suggests that they also model some qualitative aspects of face processing in humans. This review compares the current understanding of deep learning models with psychological models of the face processing system ...
