[intermediate] Deep Learning for Trustworthy Biometrics

Summary

In recent years we have witnessed increasingly diverse application scenarios of Biometrics in our daily life, despite the societal concerns on some of the weakness of the technology. A sustainable deployment and prospects of biometric systems will rely heavily on the ability to trust the recognition process and its output. As a result, in addition to the high recognition accuracy, trustworthy biometrics has become an emerging research area, with topics ranging from biometrics security (e.g., presentation attack detection and forgery detection), biasness in biometrics, adversarial robustness, to interpretable biometrics. In this course, we will present some of the recent works on these topics and discuss the remaining issues warranting future research.

Syllabus

• Deep learning for presentation attack detection (anti-spoofing)
• Deepfake or image manipulation detection
• Adversarial attack detection
• Mitigate biasness in face recognition
• Interpretable face recognition
