18 Jun 2018TL;DR: A novel Disguised Faces in the Wild (DFW) dataset, consisting of over 11,000 images for understanding and pushing the current state-of-the-art for disguised face recognition, along with the phase-I results of the CVPR2018 competition.
Abstract: Existing research in the field of face recognition with variations due to disguises focuses primarily on images captured in controlled settings. Limited research has been performed on images captured in unconstrained environments, primarily due to the lack of corresponding disguised face datasets. In order to overcome this limitation, this work presents a novel Disguised Faces in the Wild (DFW) dataset, consisting of over 11,000 images for understanding and pushing the current state-of-the-art for disguised face recognition. To the best of our knowledge, DFW is a first-of-a-kind dataset containing images pertaining to both obfuscation and impersonation for understanding the effect of disguise variations. A major portion of the dataset has been collected from the Internet, thereby encompassing a wide variety of disguise accessories and variations across other covariates. As part of CVPR2018, a competition and workshop are organized to facilitate research in this direction. This paper presents a description of the dataset, the baseline protocols and performance, along with the phase-I results of the competition.

TL;DR: A better understanding of state-of-the-art deep learning networks would enable researchers to address the given challenge of bias in AI, and develop fairer systems.
Abstract: Do very high accuracies of deep networks suggest pride of effective AI or are deep networks prejudiced? Do they suffer from in-group biases (own-race-bias and own-age-bias), and mimic the human behavior? Is in-group specific information being encoded sub-consciously by the deep networks?
This research attempts to answer these questions and presents an in-depth analysis of `bias' in deep learning based face recognition systems This is the first work which decodes if and where bias is encoded for face recognition Taking cues from cognitive studies, we inspect if deep networks are also affected by social in- and out-group effect Networks are analyzed for own-race and own-age bias, both of which have been well established in human beings The sub-conscious behavior of face recognition models is examined to understand if they encode race or age specific features for face recognition Analysis is performed based on 36 experiments conducted on multiple datasets Four deep learning networks either trained from scratch or pre-trained on over 10M images are used Variations across class activation maps and feature visualizations provide novel insights into the functioning of deep learning systems, suggesting behavior similar to humans It is our belief that a better understanding of state-of-the-art deep learning networks would enable researchers to address the given challenge of bias in AI, and develop fairer systems

03 Apr 2020TL;DR: Different ways in which the robustness of a face recognition algorithm is challenged, which can severely affect its intended working are summarized.
Abstract: Face recognition algorithms have demonstrated very high recognition performance, suggesting suitability for real world applications Despite the enhanced accuracies, robustness of these algorithms against attacks and bias has been challenged This paper summarizes different ways in which the robustness of a face recognition algorithm is challenged, which can severely affect its intended working Different types of attacks such as physical presentation attacks, disguise/makeup, digital adversarial attacks, and morphing/tampering using GANs have been discussed We also present a discussion on the effect of bias on face recognition models and showcase that factors such as age and gender variations affect the performance of modern algorithms The paper also presents the potential reasons for these challenges and some of the future research directions for increasing the robustness of face recognition models

08 Mar 2019TL;DR: The disguised faces in the wild (DFW) dataset as discussed by the authors contains over 11,000 images of 1000 identities with variations across different types of disguise accessories, including impersonator and genuine obfuscated face images for each subject.
Abstract: Research in face recognition has seen tremendous growth over the past couple of decades. Beginning from algorithms capable of performing recognition in constrained environments, existing face recognition systems achieve very high accuracies on large-scale unconstrained face datasets. While upcoming algorithms continue to achieve improved performance, many of them are susceptible to reduced performance under disguise variations, one of the most challenging covariate of face recognition. In this paper, the disguised faces in the wild (DFW) dataset is presented, which contains over 11000 images of 1000 identities with variations across different types of disguise accessories (the DFW dataset link: http://iab-rubric.org/resources/dfw.html ). The images are collected from the Internet, resulting in unconstrained variations similar to real-world settings. This is a unique dataset that contains impersonator and genuine obfuscated face images for each subject. The DFW dataset has been analyzed in terms of three levels of difficulty: 1) easy; 2) medium; and 3) hard, in order to showcase the challenging nature of the problem. The dataset was released as part of the First International Workshop and Competition on DFW at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2018. This paper presents the DFW dataset in detail, including the evaluation protocols, baseline results, performance analysis of the submissions received as part of the competition, and three levels of difficulties of the DFW challenge dataset.
