The attribute/simile based method (<a href="http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/projects/faceverification/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/projects/faceverification/</a>) holds highest score on LFW (<a href="http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/" rel="nofollow">http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/</a>). LBP is really old (though it is amazingly good in old time).
