Special Session on Advances in Deep Learning for Biometrics and Forensics

The 29th International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP 2022)
November 22-26, 2022, New Delhi, India (hybrid mode)

Scope and Aim

The biometric is a growing technology due to the needs of the society, companies and governments for recognition, security and privacy concerns. It has also become a growing research area that offers greater security and convenience solutions for various applications in biometrics and forensics areas.

Methods and algorithms from data science are widely explored and used to address several problems in many fields such as biometrics and forensics. In this context, the advances in artificial intelligence, in particular in feature engineering and deep learning, have allowed to resolve various complex problems related to recognition, detection, control, security, forensic identification, etc.

Indeed, most of biometric systems are based on a typical representation, including biometric data preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification parts. Deep learning offers an end-to-end learning paradigm allowing to unify these parts. It has been shown to be a promising and powerful alternative to conventional approaches based on machine learning.

This special session aims to bring together researchers, scientists and industry professionals interested in biometrics and forensic, to present and discuss their recent advanced algorithms and methods in deep learning for biometrics and its applications.

Topics

The main topics that are of interest to this special session include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Deep learning for biometrics and/or forensics
- Biometric recognition (authentication and identification)
