Large-scale face recognition datasets are collected by crawling the Internet and without individuals' consent, raising legal, ethical, and privacy concerns. With the recent advances in generative models, recently several works proposed generating synthetic face recognition datasets to mitigate concerns in web-crawled face recognition datasets. This paper presents the summary of the Synthetic Data for Face Recognition (SDFR) Competition held in conjunction with the 18th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2024) and established to investigate the use of synthetic data for training face recognition models. The SDFR competition was split into two tasks, allowing participants to train face recognition systems using new synthetic datasets and/or existing ones. In the first task, the face recognition backbone was fixed and the dataset size was limited, while the second task provided almost complete freedom on the model backbone, the dataset, and the training pipeline. The submitted models were trained on existing and also new synthetic datasets and used clever methods to improve training with synthetic data. The submissions were evaluated and ranked on a diverse set of seven benchmarking datasets. The paper gives an overview of the submitted face recognition models and reports achieved performance compared to baseline models trained on real and synthetic datasets. Furthermore, the evaluation of submissions is extended to bias assessment across different demography groups. Lastly, an outlook on the current state of the research in training face recognition models using synthetic data is presented, and existing problems as well as potential future directions are also discussed.

人脸反欺骗对于防止人脸识别系统的安全漏洞至关重要。由于深度神经网络的优异性能和大数据集的可用性,生物识别社区最近取得了令人印象深刻的进展。虽然种族偏见已被证实严重影响人脸识别系统的性能,它仍然是一个开放的人脸反欺骗的研究问题。最近,一个多种族人脸反欺骗数据集CASIA-SURF CeFA已经发布,其目标是测量种族偏见。它是迄今为止最大的跨种族人脸反欺骗数据集,涵盖$3$种族,$3$模式,$1,607$主题,2D加3D攻击类型,以及最近发布的人脸反欺骗数据集中第一个包含明确种族标签的数据集。我们组织了Chalearn Face Anti-spoofing Attack Detection Challenge,其中包括单模态(例如,RGB)和多模态(例如,RGB,深度,红外(IR))围绕这一新资源进行跟踪,以促进旨在减轻种族偏见的研究。两个赛道在开发阶段都吸引了$340$团队,最终分别有11支和8支团队在单模态和多模态人脸反欺骗识别挑战赛中提交了代码。所有的结果都经过组织团队的验证和重新运行,结果用于最终排名。本文概述了挑战,包括其设计,评估协议和结果总结。我们分析排名靠前的解决方案,并从竞争中得出结论。此外,我们还概述了今后的工作方向。

Are Face and Object Recognition Independent? A Neurocomputational Modeling Exploration
人脸和物体识别能力是独立的吗?尽管人们普遍认为它们是,Gauthier et al.(2014)最近表明,随着非面孔类别的经验增加,这些能力变得更加相关。他们认为,随着经验的增长,有一种潜在的视觉能力v,它在面部和非面部类别的表现中表达出来。通过使用剑桥面部记忆测试和范德比尔特专业技能测试,他们发现剑桥面部记忆测试和范德比尔特专业技能测试之间的共享方差随着经验的增加而单调增加。在这里,我们解决为什么共享资源在不同的视觉领域不会导致竞争和能力的负相关?我们解释这个难题使用我们的面部和对象处理的神经计算模型(模型,TM)。我们的研究结果表明,在行为数据中,下级人脸和物体识别准确性之间的相关性随着经验的增加而增加。我们建议,不同的域不竞争资源,因为相关的功能之间共享的面孔和对象。经验的基本力量是为面孔产生一种“扩展变换”,这种变换概括为必须个性化的对象。有趣的是,当网络的任务是基本级别分类时,没有观察到域之间的相关性增加。因此,我们的模型预测,重要的是经验的类型,相关性的来源是在梭状回面部区域,而不是在支持基本水平分类的皮层区域。这一结果与我们先前的模型一致,该模型阐明了为什么FFA被招募用于新的专业领域(Tong等人,2008年)。
