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:2606. 27855v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning models for surface electromyography (sEMG) can benefit substantially from subject-specific (re-)calibration, since no sufficiently large and diverse datasets are available to train fully generic decoders.
The paper evaluates deep learning models for electrocardiogram‑based emotion recognition, focusing on generalization across datasets rather than dataset‑specific performance. It introduces two open‑source tools—ARRC for standardized benchmarking and ARDT for inter‑dataset training—to merge three public AER datasets (CUADS, ASCERTAIN, DREAMER) into a more variable benchmark. Using these tools, the authors compare three prominent deep learning architectures and two CNN baselines with hyperparameter tuning and 10‑fold cross‑validation, revealing trade‑offs between accuracy and model complexity and providing a reproducible benchmark for future research.

arXiv:2603. 10827v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech-aware large language models (LLMs) can accept speech inputs, yet their training objectives largely emphasize linguistic content or specific fields such as emotions or the speaker's gender, leaving it unclear whether they encode speaker identity.
The study investigates ECG biometrics by training a Siamese ResNet with late multi-lead fusion on a large dataset from cardiopulmonary exercise tests. It evaluates the model under realistic conditions, including exercise-induced stress and cross-session variability, achieving an intra-session rest-to-peak EER of 1.7% and a state‑of‑the‑art 3.9% on the CYBHi dataset. The results demonstrate that an intrinsic cardiac signature remains robust to physiological and temporal drift.
