Title:	Explainable and Interpretable Face Presentation Attack Detection Methods
Issue Date:	2021-11-11
Description:	Decision support systems based on machine learning (ML) techniques are excelling in most artificial intelligence (AI) fields, over-performing other AI methods, as well as humans. However, challenges still exist that do not favour the dominance of AI in some applications. This proposal focuses on a critical one: lack of transparency and explainability, reducing trust and accountability of an AI system. The fact that most AI methods still operate as complex black boxes, makes the inner processes which sustain their predictions still unattainable. The awareness around these observations foster the need to regulate many sensitive domains where AI has been applied in order to interpret, explain and audit the reliability of the ML based systems. Although modern-day biometric recognition (BR) systems are already benefiting from the performance gains achieved with AI (which can account for and learn subtle changes in the person to be authenticated or statistical mismatches between samples), it is still in the dark ages of black box models, without reaping the benefits of the mismatches between samples), it is still in the dark ages of black box models, without reaping the benefits of the XAI field. This work will focus on studying AI explainability in the field of biometrics focusing in particular use cases in BR, such as verification/ identification of individuals and liveness detection (LD) (aka, antispoofing). The main goals of this work are: i) to become acquainted with the state-of-the-art in explainability and biometric recognition and PAD methods; ii) to develop an experimental work xxxxx Tasks 1st semester (1) Study of the state of the art- bibliography review on state of the art for presentation attack detection (2) Get acquainted with the previous work of the group in the topic (3) Data preparation and data pre-processing (3) Define the experimental protocol, including performance metrics (4) Perform baseline experiments (5) Write monography Tasks 2nd semester (1) Update on the state of the art (2) Data preparation and data pre-processing (3) Propose and implement a methodology for interpretability in biometrics (4) Evaluation of the performance and comparison with baseline and state of the art approaches (5) Dissertation writing Referências bibliográficas principais: (*) [Doshi17] B.
