DESCRIPTION:Sébastien Marcel\nTitle: Face Presentation Attack Detection\
 n\nAbstract: \nIn biometrics\, Presentation Attacks (PA also referred to 
 as spoofing) are performed by falsifying the biometric trait and then pres
 enting this falsified information to the biometric system\, one such examp
 le is to fool a fingerprint system by copying the fingerprint of another p
 erson and creating an artificial or gummy finger which can then be present
 ed to the biometric system to falsely gain access. This is an issue that n
 eeds to be addressed because it has recently been shown that conventional 
 biometric techniques are vulnerable to presentation attacks. One of the ma
 in challenges in Presentation Attack Detection (PAD also referred to as an
 ti-spoofing) is to find a set of features and models (mostly classifiers) 
 that allows systems to effectively distinguish signals that were directly 
 emitted by a human from those reproduced by an attacker. This talk will pr
 esent an overview of typical face PAs and PAD techniques.\n\nBio:\nProf S
 ébastien Marcel (IEEE Senior member) is a senior researcher at the Idiap 
 Research Institute (Switzerland)\, he heads the Biometrics Security and Pr
 ivacy group and conducts research on face recognition\, speaker recognitio
 n\, vein recognition\, attack detection (presentation attacks\, morphing a
 ttacks\, deepfakes) and template protection. He is also Professor at the U
 niversity de Lausanne (UNIL) at the School of Criminal Justice and lecture
 r at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He received hi
 s Ph.D. degree in signal processing from Université de Rennes I in France
  (2000) at CNET\, the research center of France Telecom (now Orange Labs).
  He is also the Director of the Swiss Center for Biometrics Research and T
 esting\, which conducts certifications of biometric products. He is Associ
 ate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Biometrics and Identity Science. He was
  Associate Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters\, Associate Editor of 
 IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security\, a Guest Editor o
 f the IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security Special Issu
 e on “Biometric Spoofing and Countermeasures”\, and Co-editor of the I
 EEE Signal Processing Magazine Special Issue on “Biometric Security and 
 Privacy”. He is also the lead Editor of the Springer Handbook of Biometr
 ics Anti-Spoofing (Editions 1\, 2 and 3).\n\nThe Center for Intelligent Sy
 stems at EPFL (CIS) is a collaboration among IC\, ENAC\, SB\; SV and STI t
 hat brings together researchers working on different aspects of Intelligen
 t Systems.\n\nCollaboration and networking are crucial in the advancement 
 of research and are key pillars of the CIS’ activities. We are thrilled 
 to announce a new series of talks: the “CIS Network Seminars”\, where 
 we will invite experts from our network to share their work.\n\n \nThe CI
 S seminar will take place In hybrid mode: Room INF 328 and by Zoom https:/

 eminars will be made available on our website and published on our social
