- Notifications went out January 22, 2020
- Camera-ready papers were due February 1st, 2020
The topics of interest for this workshop include the following:
- Theory and nomenclature regarding demographic effects in biometric systems
- Methods of measuring demographic factors and their utility in predicting biometric performance (e.g. phenotypes, social categories, self-reported vs. labeled)
- Statistical modeling of performance variation in biometric systems due to demographic factors
- Techniques for mitigating demographic effects on sensors and biometric recognition algorithms
- Differences in demographic effects across different biometric modalities
- Biological origins of demographic effects on physical and behavioral biometric traits
- Automated extraction of demographic variables and soft biometric information from biometric data
- Methods for fusing demographic information with biometric data
- Imparting soft biometric privacy to biometric data
- Papers presented at The 2nd Workshop on Demographic Variation in the Performance of Biometric Systems will be published as part of the "WACV Workshop Proceedings" and should, therefore, follow the same guideline as the main conference. Paper submission guidlines of WACV can be accessed through this link.
- For review, a complete paper should be submitted using the for_review format and the guidelines provided in the author kit. The review process is double-blind. Please remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. from the paper. Please also remove any personal acknowledgments.
- Accepted papers will be allocated 8 pages in the proceedings. Please note that References/Bibliography at the end of the paper will NOT count toward the aforementioned page limit. That is, a paper can be up to 8 pages + the references.
- Papers should be submitted via the workshop's CMT site.
