Title: "Fingerprint Pre-Processing with Deep Learning: Some Baby Steps"
Abstract: The talk involves some of the speaker's trials and tribulations with deep learning in fingerprint biometrics, through the work of PhD student Dr.Indu Joshi. The talk will be a random walk through deep architectures for fingerprint enhancement tasks, as seen from the eyes of a perennial Doubting Thomas and an unwilling and reluctant skeptic. The talk will focus on the speaker's struggles to come to terms with concepts which have physical significance, but comparatively little in terms of mathematical rigour, or algorithmic efficiency, but have the potential to produce hitherto unseen levels of startling results. The talk will start from scratch, delve a bit into history and timelines, and look into some fingerprint-related applications of deep neural networks based on his limited understanding of traditional machine learning, and try to delve into related concepts, half of which he cannot readily explain well. The talk will use a `confuse if not convince' approach, and fervently hope that the confusion matrix approximates a diagonal one.
