Deep learning approaches to biometric verification are commonly trained by optimizing indirect objectives, creating a misalignment between the optimization process and the primary evaluation metric, typically the Equal Error Rate (EER). This paper introduces EERLoss: a subdifferentiable, arbitrarily accurate approximation to EER for training deep biometric models.

arXiv:2503. 08038v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we delve deeper into the Kullback-Leibler (KL) Divergence loss and mathematically prove that it is equivalent to the Decoupled Kullback-Leibler (DKL) Divergence loss that consists of (1) a weighted Mean Square Error (wMSE) loss and (2) a Cross-Entropy loss incorporating soft labels.

Conventional face recognition relies on static appearance cues and degrades in unconstrained settings with expression variation, occlusion, and poor lighting. We hypothesize that audiovisual expression dynamics carry identity-discriminative information complementary to static appearance, and that extracting this signal requires multimodal representations robust to the variable input quality of in-the-wild video.
