演講摘要:

Recent developments in deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have shown impressive performance improvements on various object detection/recognition problems (e.g., the performance of face recognition has achieved surpassing human performance on some standard challenging benchmarks). This has been made possible due to the availability of large annotated data and a better understanding of the nonlinear mapping between images and class labels, as well as the affordability of powerful graphics processing units (GPUs). These developments in deep learning have also improved the capabilities of machines in understanding faces and automatically executing the tasks of face detection, pose estimation, landmark localization, and face recognition from unconstrained images and videos. Besides these exciting advancements of technologies, it also raises a serious concern about the fairness, transparency, accountability, and security of these intelligent systems. In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of the development of deep-learning methods used for face recognition. I will also discuss about the potential concerns about the challenges and opportunities related to the model bias, model security, and data privacy.
