Over the past decades, numerous Image Quality Assessment (IQA) models have emerged, aiming to predict the perceptual quality of images. However, individual models are often biased toward certain types of image content or distortions,…

Most face identification approaches employ a Siamese neural network to compare two images at the image embedding level. Yet, this technique can be subject to occlusion (e.g. faces with masks or sunglasses) and out-of-distribution data.…
