Recent Advances in Detecting Manipulation Attacks on Biometric Systems (ADMA-2023) IJCB 2023 - Special Session Manipulated attacks in biometrics via modified images/videos and other material-based techniques such as presentation attacks and deep fakes have become a tremendous threat to the security world owing to increasingly realistic spoofing methods. Hence, such manipulations have triggered the need for research attention towards robust and reliable methods for detecting biometric manipulation attacks. The recent inclusion of manipulation/generation methods such as auto-encoder and generative adversarial network approaches combined with accurate localisation and perceptual learning objectives added an extra challenge to such manipulation detection tasks. Due to this, the performance of existing state-of-the-art manipulation detection methods significantly degrades in unknown scenarios. Apart from this, real-time processing, manipulation on low-quality medium, limited availability of data, and inclusion of these manipulation detection techniques for forensic investigation are yet to be widely explored. Hence, this special session aims to profile recent developments and push the border of the digital manipulation detection technique on biometric systems. We invite practitioners, researchers and engineers from biometrics, signal processing, material science, mathematics, computer vision and machine learning to contribute their expertise to underpin the highlighted challenges. Further, this special session promotes cross-disciplinary research by inviting the partitioner in the field of psychology where one can perform the human observer (or super-recogniser) analysis to detect attacks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:  Deepfake manipulation and detection technique  Novel generalised PAD to unknown attacks  Image manipulation techniques datasets  Database in image and video manipulation, and attacks  Privacy-preserving techniques in digital manipulation attack detection  Image and video synthesis in PAD  Image and video manipulation generation and detection  Human observer analysis in detecting the manipulated biometric images  Novel sensors for detecting manipulated attacks  Bias analyses and mitigation in attack detection algorithms Submission Guidelines:  Submit your papers at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IJCB2023 in a special session track.  The paper presented at ADMA-2023 will be published as part of the IJCB2023 and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference.  Page limit: A paper can be up to 8 pages including figures and tables, plus additional pages for references only.  Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Please remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. from the paper. Remove personal acknowledgements. Important Dates:  Full Paper Submission: July 17, 2023, 23:59:59 PDT  Acceptance Notice: August 17, 2023, 23:59:59 PDT  Camera-Ready Paper: August 21, 2023, 23:59:59 PDT Organizing Committee: Abhijit Das, BITS Pilani, India Raghavendra Ramachandra, NTNU, Norway Meiling Fang, Fraunhofer IGD, Germany

note on bias, ability and the lack of correlation between match and mismatch
by Peter Hancock 30 May '23

30 May '23

Dear colleagues, I've written a short note relating to a simulation I ran to clarify my muddy thinking about the effects of bias (towards match or mismatch) in face matching experiments and the way that principal components analysis separates match and mismatch items into different components. I can't see it making a published paper but I figure others may find it useful, so I've put it up on psyarxiv: https://psyarxiv.com/f2a9j Bottom line: when participants vary in bias and ability independently, PCA tends to separate match and mismatch trials, especially after varimax rotation. The (not very elegant) matlab simulation code is on OSF, linked from the paper. Comments welcome, to me rather than the whole list.

Two postdoctoral positions at NYU Abu Dhabi (Center for Brain and Health)
by Olivia Cheung 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

The Center of Brain and Health at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit two postdoctoral associates for two projects: 1) a project on the mechanisms underlying rapid perception and cognition, and 2) a project on the neural mechanisms underlying interactions of visual and conceptual systems. *Project 1: Mechanisms underlying rapid perception and cognition* *(PI: Prof. David Melcher, Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory)* Attention, perception, working memory and other aspects of cognition are limited by time constraints that are linked to the temporal scales of neural activity. On the one hand, we can find general principles linking ongoing brain rhythms to the temporal unfolding of thought, from the sampling rate of sensory perception to the maintenance of active representations in memory. However, there are also large individual differences in processing speed within the healthy adult population, across the developmental lifespan, and when considering clinical and neurological patient groups. The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on the neural correlates of these individual and clinical differences in speed of information processing. *Project 2: Neural mechanisms underlying interactions of visual and conceptual systems* *(PI: Prof. Olivia Cheung, Objects And Knowledge Laboratory)* High-level vision, which involves transforming visual inputs into meaningful concepts such as faces, words, animals, human-made objects, and scenes, is essential for humans to understand and interact with their environment. This process relies on a cortical network that supports perception, learning, memory, and prediction. The study of high-level vision provides a window into how learning and experience impact the human brain. The successful applicant will lead a project investigating the complex nature of semantic associations and image statistics on category selectivity, using machine learning and multivariate pattern analysis techniques. To distinguish the cortical networks and behavioral markers that are common across categories or unique to specific categories, the project involves characterizing the similarities and differences in the processing of multiple categories in healthy and clinical populations. The positions are funded for two years with the possibility of renewal. Required expertise includes strong knowledge of cognitive neuroscience and expertise in at least one of the neuroimaging methodologies involved in the project (fMRI, EEG or MEG). For a competitive application at the postdoctoral level, candidates should demonstrate experience in leading neuroimaging studies, as shown by publications in international scientific journals. The successful candidates will work in a multidisciplinary Center environment with world-class research infrastructure, consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students. The terms of employment are extremely competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the positions are filled.
