## Introduction

FaceXFormer is an end-to-end unified model capable of handling a comprehensive range of facial analysis tasks such as face parsing, 
landmark detection, head pose estimation, attributes prediction, age/gender/race estimation, facial expression recognition and face visibility prediction.

## Model Details

FaceXFormer is a transformer-based encoder-decoder architecture where each task is treated as a learnable token, enabling the 
integration of multiple tasks within a single framework.
