DeepFakes and Beyond: A Survey of Face Manipulation and Fake Detection

Deep face recognition: A survey

A survey on deep learning based face recognition

Human skull identification is an arduous task, traditionally requiring the expertise of forensic artists and anthropologists. This paper is an effort to automate the process of matching skull images to digital face images, thereby establishing an identity of the skeletal remains. In order to achieve this, a novel Shared Transform Model is proposed for learning discriminative representations. The model learns robust features while reducing the intra-class variations between skulls and digital face images. Such a model can assist law enforcement agencies by speeding up the process of skull identification, and reducing the manual load. Experimental evaluation performed on two pre-defined protocols of the publicly available IdentifyMe dataset demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed model.

Learning A Shared Transform Model for Skull to Digital Face Image Matching.

Automated primate face recognition has enormous potential in effective conservation of species facing endangerment or extinction. The task is characterized by lack of training data, low inter-class variations, and large intra-class differences. Owing to the challenging nature of the problem, limited research has been performed to automate the process of primate face recognition. In this research, we propose a novel Triplet Transform Learning (TTL) model for learning discriminative representations of primate faces. The proposed model reduces the intra-class variations and increases the inter-class variations to obtain robust sparse representations for the primate faces. It is utilized to present a novel framework for primate face recognition, which is evaluated on the primate dataset, comprising of 80 identities including monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach, where it outperforms the existing approaches and attains state-of-the-art performance on the primates database.

Triplet Transform Learning for Automated Primate Face Recognition

This paper focuses on decoding the process of face verification in the human brain using fMRI responses. 2400 fMRI responses are collected from different participants while they perform face verification on genuine and imposter stimuli face pairs. The first part of the paper analyzes the responses covering both cognitive and fMRI neuro-imaging results. With an average verification accuracy of 64.79% by human participants, the results of the cognitive analysis depict that the performance of female participants is significantly higher than the male participants with respect to imposter pairs. The results of the neuro-imaging analysis identifies regions of the brain such as the left fusiform gyrus, caudate nucleus, and superior frontal gyrus that are activated when participants perform face verification tasks. The second part of the paper proposes a novel two-level fMRI dictionary learning approach to predict if the stimuli observed is genuine or imposter using the brain activation data for selected regions. A comparative analysis with existing machine learning techniques illustrates that the proposed approach yields at least 4.5% higher classification accuracy than other algorithms. It is envisioned that the result of this study is the first step in designing brain-inspired automatic face verification algorithms.

Recent research has identified discriminatory behavior of automated prediction algorithms towards groups identified on specific protected attributes (e.g., gender, ethnicity, age group, etc.). When deployed in real-world scenarios, such techniques may demonstrate biased predictions resulting in unfair outcomes. Recent literature has witnessed algorithms for mitigating such biased behavior mostly by adding convex surrogates of fairness metrics such as demographic parity or equalized odds in the loss function, which are often not easy to estimate. This research proposes a novel in-processing based GroupMixNorm layer for mitigating bias from deep learning models. The GroupMixNorm layer probabilistically mixes group-level feature statistics of samples across different groups based on the protected attribute. The proposed method improves upon several fairness metrics with minimal impact on overall accuracy. Analysis on benchmark tabular and image datasets demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed method in achieving state-of-the-art performance. Further, the experimental analysis also suggests the robustness of the GroupMixNorm layer against new protected attributes during inference and its utility in eliminating bias from a pre-trained network. 

GroupMixNorm Layer for Learning Fair Models

Recent studies have highlighted a major caveat in several popular deep learning based face recognition algorithms. Despite their high accuracy, they have shown to exhibit biased behavior by achieving sub-par performance on images belonging to different sub-groups. Such behavior can often lead to unfair predictions, thus presenting a need to develop fairer models with unprejudiced behavior. This research proposes Detox loss, a novel bias invariant feature learning loss function for learning unbiased models. The proposed loss can be used to: (i) learn fairer deep learning classifiers, and (ii) mitigate bias from existing pre-trained networks, especially in the challenging constraint of imbalanced training data with respect to a protected attribute. Conceptually, the Detox loss enforces that the learned features are distinguished based on the task label only, while eliminating any distinction based on the biasing-attribute. This is achieved by incorporating three fairness constraints while training with the traditional classification loss: (i) proposed Exclusion loss, (ii) proposed Inclusion loss, and (iii) proposed Feature-distillation loss. The efficacy of the Detox loss is demonstrated on two facial analysis tasks: (i) age-group prediction and (ii) gender prediction, under the protected attribute of ethnicity for learning fairer models and de-biasing existing models, with varying imbalanced training data distributions. Across two different protocols, three setups, and two tasks, the Detox loss obtains state of the art performance without the need of multi-labeled training data. For example, on the challenging Pilot Parliaments Benchmark (PPB) dataset, the Detox loss obtains a balanced accuracy and $F_{1}$ score of 96.1% and 96.6%, as compared to the state-of-the-art performance of 94.1% and 93.6%, respectively.
