With the widespread use of biometric systems, the demographic bias problem raises more attention. Although many studies addressed bias issues in biometric verification, there are no works that analyze the bias in presentation attack detection (PAD) decisions. Hence, we investigate and analyze the demographic bias in iris PAD algorithms in this paper. To enable a clear discussion, we adapt the notions of differential performance and differential outcome to the PAD problem. We study the bias in iris PAD using three baselines (hand-crafted, transfer-learning, and training from scratch) using the NDCLD-2013 database. The experimental results point out that female users will be significantly less protected by the PAD, in comparison to males.

Iris recognition systems are vulnerable to the presentation attacks, such as textured contact lenses or printed images. In this paper, we propose a lightweight framework to detect iris presentation attacks by extracting multiple micro-stripes of expa nded normalized iris textures. In this procedure, a standard iris segmentation is modified. For our presentation attack detection network to better model the classification problem, the segmented area is processed to provide lower dimensional input segments and a higher number of learning samples. Our proposed Micro Stripes Analyses (MSA) solution samples the segmented areas as individual stripes. Then, the majority vote makes the final classification decision of those micro-stripes. Experiments are demonstrated on five databases, where two databases (IIITD-WVU and Notre Dame) are from the LivDet-2017 Iris competition. An in-depth experimental evaluation of this framework reveals a superior performance compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. Moreover, our solution minimizes the confusion between textured (attack) and soft (bona fide) contact lens presentations.
Recently, concerns regarding potential biases in the underlying algorithms of many automated systems (including biometrics) have been raised. In this context, a biased algorithm produces statistically different outcomes for different groups of indivi duals based on certain (often protected by anti-discrimination legislation) attributes such as sex and age. While several preliminary studies investigating this matter for facial recognition algorithms do exist, said topic has not yet been addressed for vascular biometric characteristics. Accordingly, in this paper, several popular types of recognition algorithms are benchmarked to ascertain the matter for fingervein recognition. The experimental evaluation suggests lack of bias for the tested algorithms, although future works with larger datasets are needed to validate and confirm those preliminary results.
Iris presentation attack detection (PAD) plays a vital role in iris recognition systems. Most existing CNN-based iris PAD solutions 1) perform only binary label supervision during the training of CNNs, serving global information learning but weakenin g the capture of local discriminative features, 2) prefer the stacked deeper convolutions or expert-designed networks, raising the risk of overfitting, 3) fuse multiple PAD systems or various types of features, increasing difficulty for deployment on mobile devices. Hence, we propose a novel attention-based deep pixel-wise binary supervision (A-PBS) method. Pixel-wise supervision is first able to capture the fine-grained pixel/patch-level cues. Then, the attention mechanism guides the network to automatically find regions that most contribute to an accurate PAD decision. Extensive experiments are performed on LivDet-Iris 2017 and three other publicly available databases to show the effectiveness and robustness of proposed A-PBS methods. For instance, the A-PBS model achieves an HTER of 6.50% on the IIITD-WVU database outperforming state-of-the-art methods.
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is often the first step towards automated Knowledge Base (KB) generation from raw text. In this work, we assess the bias in various Named Entity Recognition (NER) systems for English across different demographic groups with synthetically generated corpora. Our analysis reveals that models perform better at identifying names from specific demographic groups across two datasets. We also identify that debiased embeddings do not help in resolving this issue. Finally, we observe that character-based contextualized word representation models such as ELMo results in the least bias across demographics. Our work can shed light on potential biases in automated KB generation due to systematic exclusion of named entities belonging to certain demographics.
For enterprise, personal and societal applications, there is now an increasing demand for automated authentication of identity from images using computer vision. However, current authentication technologies are still vulnerable to presentation attack s. We present RoPAD, an end-to-end deep learning model for presentation attack detection that employs unsupervised adversarial invariance to ignore visual distractors in images for increased robustness and reduced overfitting. Experiments show that the proposed framework exhibits state-of-the-art performance on presentation attack detection on several benchmark datasets.
