The paper introduces a unified evaluation framework for face de-identification (FDeID), addressing inconsistencies in current protocols. It presents UtilFace, a demographically balanced benchmark assembled from four large-scale datasets, and HiFD, a hierarchical metric that simultaneously measures identity suppression, multi-level utility preservation, and image quality. Using this framework, the authors compare adversarial, GAN-based, and diffusion-based methods, revealing trade-offs and failure modes that were previously hidden, and they release the benchmark and toolkit for reproducible research.
AI-assisted facial phenotyping supports rare genetic disorder prioritization by retrieving visually similar diagnosed cases from facial image reference databases such as the GestaltMatcher Database (GMDB). Existing GestaltMatcher-based retrieval frameworks compare each test image with individual gallery images in a facial phenotype embedding space.
arXiv:2607. 14932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Synthetic face datasets have become effective enough to train face recognition models with accuracy rivaling that of models trained on real photographs.
arXiv:2312. 15320v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Individuals with suspected rare genetic disorders often undergo multiple clinical evaluations, imaging studies, laboratory tests, and genetic tests over a prolonged period of time, a process commonly described as the diagnostic odyssey.
arXiv:2407. 13922v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Face recognition (FR) systems are widely deployed in critical applications, making their reliability and robustness across diverse populations and conditions essential.
Synthetic face datasets have become effective enough to train face recognition models with accuracy rivaling that of models trained on real photographs. This progress sidesteps the ethical and legal burdens of collecting real biometric data, yet evaluation has not kept pace.
arXiv:2606. 18063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image classification faces a fundamental dilemma: while deep learning models achieve remarkable performance at scale, real-world clinical scenarios often suffer from severe data scarcity due to annotation costs, privacy constraints, and disease rarity.
arXiv:2606. 31704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The deployment of face detection models in real-world applications raises important fairness concerns, as these systems may showcase performance disparities across demographic groups.
The paper introduces the Semantic Tri-view Pipeline, an interpretable system that automatically screens teledermatology photographs for gradability by analyzing epidermal micro-relief across up to three smartphone views. It uses a lightweight DeepLabV3+ model to segment micro-relief fidelity and aggregates the resulting spatial masks with logistic regression, leveraging viewpoint redundancy to improve robustness. Evaluated on the SCIN dataset, the approach raises the AUC from 0.81 to 0.96 on optically clear cases, offering real‑time, privacy‑by‑design feedback to filter ungradable photo sets before clinician review.
