Unsupervised Facial Landmark Detection

Facial landmark detection in the unsupervised setting popularized by [1]. The evaluation occurs in two stages: (1) Embeddings are first learned in an unsupervised manner (i.e. without labels); (2) A simple regressor is trained to regress landmarks from the unsupervised embedding.
