ECCV 2020 ChaLearn Looking at People Fair Face Recognition and Analysis Workshop

The workshop will focus on bias analysis and mitigation methodologies, which will result in more fair face recognition and analysis systems. These advances will have a direct impact within society's equality of opportunity. In this proposal we plan to provide a comprehensive up to date review on fair face recognition and analysis research. We find of crucial interest to centralize ideas, discuss them and push the field to advance towards more fair systems for the good of society. Complementary to that, we will also contribute pushing research in the field by releasing a large annotated dataset for fair face verification and running an associated challenge (http://chalearnlap.cvc.uab.es/challenge/38/description/). Paper submission (via CMT https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FairFace2020) is independent to challenge participation.

The main topics of interest related to fair face recognition and analysis are (but not limited to):

- Dealing with unbalanced and/or noisy datasets.
- Novel methodologies, metrics and algorithms for bias mitigation.
- Explainable/interpretable strategies for understanding/dealing with bias.
- Generative models applications.
