Claim One:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a computing device, a plurality of face tracks for detected faces in a video; receiving, by the computing device, a set of labels for a portion of the plurality of face tracks from a set of users to form a set of labeled face tracks, wherein a label in the set of labels identifies an identity for a face track in the set of labeled face tracks; extracting, by the computing device, a first set of features for an unlabeled face track in the plurality of face tracks, wherein an identity for the unlabeled face track is not known; correlating, by the computing device, the extracted first set of features for the unlabeled face track to a second set of features from the set of labeled face tracks; generating, by the computing device, feature weights for the first set of features based on confidence scores for the second set of features using a weighting function that magnifies feature weights for the second set of features with higher confidence scores and suppresses feature weights for the second set of features with lower confidence scores in a non-linear manner; and using, by the computing device, the generated feature weights to determine a label for the unlabeled face track by applying the generated feature weights to the second set of features.
