arXiv:2607. 28936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Facial biometric identification relies on the distinctiveness of user attributes within a high-dimensional embedding space.
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:2607. 26993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Face presentation attack detection (PAD) remains challenging under cross-dataset evaluation, where domain shift degrades models trained on a single dataset.
EXPL-FR is a lightweight adapter that aligns a vision‑language model’s image encoder with a frozen face‑recognition (FR) embedding space, enabling the FR model to be explained using semantic attribute prompts without any text training. By mapping 978 attribute prompts across 22 categories into the FR space, the method identifies the most detectable concepts—forming a readable semantic signature that better separates identities than the full vocabulary. The approach is evaluated on four FR backbones and two VLM encoders, providing identity‑level, per‑image, and differential explanations, and demonstrates that prompt‑driven audits can rank FR models by per‑ethnicity error and attribute‑change verification cost without requiring labeled data.
arXiv:2608. 10346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although advancements in face landmark detection (FLD) methods continue to push performance boundaries, they overlook two major functional limitations: (1) different network parameters need to be trained independently for each ``$N$-point'' benchmark dataset, and (2) a model trained on an ``$N$-point'' dataset reliably outputs only the $N$ landmarks.
arXiv:2606. 11505v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biometric systems are increasingly deployed in security applications; however, they remain vulnerable to spoofing attacks, in which attackers exploit counterfeit biometric data to gain unauthorized access.
arXiv:2607. 16273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In forensic environments, automated identification of perpetrators is difficult due to pose changes, changes in light, occlusion, and lack of labeled data.

DenseFace introduces a bias‑mitigation technique for face recognition that operates on pre‑trained models without retraining. It models each person’s face embeddings with a von Mises‑Fisher distribution and uses a density‑aware probabilistic matching procedure to account for demographic differences. Experiments show that DenseFace consistently reduces racial bias across various architectures and datasets while preserving recognition accuracy.
