Adding a new config for training on UBFC-Phys

[zzl0318]

I tried a config like this, but the results was very pore. Is their something wrong with my config file?

Hi @zzl0318,

It's totally possible training on UBFC-Phys is quite unstable, personally I've never even tried and only used it as an evaluation dataset in the past. Try tweaking things like using RetinaFace instead of Haar Cascade for the face detection backend, as well as enabling dynamic detection and utilizing a median face box. UBFC-Phys has quite a bit of rigid head motion that can be significantly influenced by face detection-related parameters.

If that doesn't work at all, it's also worth playing around with the more general hyperparameters (e.g., learning rate, epochs) as well.

All the best,

Akshay
