DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sébastien Marcel\, Head of the Biometrics Security and 
 Privacy group\, Idiap Research Institute\nAbstract\nBiometrics refers to t
 he automatic recognition of individuals based on their physiological and/o
 r behavioural characteristics. This field of research encompasses many top
 ics such as biometric recognition (face\, voice\, fingerprint\, iris or va
 scular)\, vulnerability assessment or attack prevention (spoofing\, deepfa
 kes or morphing). Since most of these technologies are now AI-driven (e.g.
  face recognition is powered by large deep neural networks) it opens new c
 hallenges and research avenues. In this talk\, we give an overview of 20 y
 ears of research in the field in our team. Then we focus on a recent impac
 tful piece of work showing how deep face recognition embeddings can be inv
 erted to reconstruct the face image hence putting the security and privacy
  of biometric data at risk.  \n\nBiography\nProf Sébastien Marcel (IEEE 
 Senior member) is a senior researcher at the Idiap Research Institute (Swi
 tzerland)\, he heads the Biometrics Security and Privacy group and conduct
 s research on face recognition\, speaker recognition\, vein recognition\, 
 attack detection (presentation attacks\, morphing attacks\, deepfakes) and
  template protection. He is also Professor at the University de Lausanne (
 UNIL) at the School of Criminal Justice and lecturer at the Ecole Polytech
 nique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He received his Ph.D. degree in signa
 l processing from Université de Rennes I in France (2000) at CNET\, the r
 esearch center of France Telecom (now Orange Labs). He is also the Directo
 r of the Swiss Center for Biometrics Research and Testing\, which conducts
  certifications of biometric products. He is Associate Editor of IEEE Tran
 sactions on Biometrics and Identity Science. He was Associate Editor of IE
 EE Signal Processing Letters\, Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on In
 formation Forensics and Security\, a Guest Editor of the IEEE Transactions
  on Information Forensics and Security Special Issue on “Biometric Spoof
 ing and Countermeasures”\, and Co-editor of the IEEE Signal Processing M
 agazine Special Issue on “Biometric Security and Privacy”. He is also 
 the lead Editor of the Springer Handbook of Biometrics Anti-Spoofing (Edit
 ions 1\, 2 and 3).
