hello. I checked the code . Thanks for the repo. My question, why age is treated as a classification problem instead of regression problem ?

Please refer to the following paper [1] for that reason: [1] R. Rothe, R. Timofte, and L. V. Gool, "DEX: Deep EXpectation of apparent age from a single image," in Proc. of ICCV, 2015.
