In the past decades, the excessive use of the last-generation GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) models in computer vision has enabled the creation of artificial face images that are visually indistinguishable from genuine ones. These…
In this paper, we show that popular Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) exacerbate biases along the axes of gender and skin tone when given a skewed distribution of face-shots. While practitioners celebrate synthetic data generation…
There are five features to consider when using generative adversarial networks to apply makeup to photos of the human face. These features include (1) facial components, (2) interactive color adjustments, (3) makeup variations, (4)…
Face gender classification models often reflect and amplify demographic biases present in their training data, leading to uneven performance across gender and racial subgroups. We introduce pseudo-balancing, a simple and effective strategy…
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have brought about rapid progress towards generating photorealistic images. Yet the equitable allocation of their modeling capacity among subgroups has received less attention, which could lead to…
The widespread use of automated decision processes in many areas of our society raises serious ethical issues concerning the fairness of the process and the possible resulting discriminations. In this work, we propose a novel approach…
Face anti-spoofing has drawn a lot of attention due to the high security requirements in biometric authentication systems. Bringing face biometric to commercial hardware became mostly dependent on developing reliable methods for detecting…
Deepfake represents a category of face-swapping attacks that leverage machine learning models such as autoencoders or generative adversarial networks. Although the concept of the face-swapping is not new, its recent technical advances make…
Semantic segmentation has been a long standing challenging task in computer vision. It aims at assigning a label to each image pixel and needs significant number of pixellevel annotated data, which is often unavailable. To address this…
Since the introduction of the GDPR and CCPA legislation, both public and private facial image datasets are increasingly scrutinized. Several datasets have been taken offline completely and some have been anonymized. However, it is unclear…
Adversarial attacks on face recognition systems (FRSs) pose serious security and privacy threats, especially when these systems are used for identity verification. In this paper, we propose a novel method for generating adversarial…
Prevailing defense mechanisms against adversarial face images tend to overfit to the adversarial perturbations in the training set and fail to generalize to unseen adversarial attacks. We propose a new self-supervised adversarial defense…
Person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to match the image frames which contain the same person in the surveillance videos. Most of the Re-ID algorithms conduct supervised training in some small labeled datasets, so directly deploying these…
