• Abstract summary: We evaluate the performance of four state-of-the-art deep face recognition models in the presence of image distortions. We have observed that image distortions have a relationship with the performance gap of the model across different subgroups.

• Abstract: Identifying and mitigating bias in deep learning algorithms has gained significant popularity in the past few years due to its impact on the society. Researchers argue that models trained on balanced datasets with good representation provide equal and unbiased performance across subgroups. However, \textit{can seemingly unbiased pre-trained model become biased when input data undergoes certain distortions?} For the first time, we attempt to answer this question in the context of face recognition. We provide a systematic analysis to evaluate the performance of four state-of-the-art deep face recognition models in the presence of image distortions across different \textit{gender} and \textit{race} subgroups. We have observed that image distortions have a relationship with the performance gap of the model across different subgroups.

  We introduce a method that addresses intersectional bias in diffusion-based text-to-image models by modifying cross-attention maps in a disentangled manner. Our approach utilizes a pre-trained Stable Diffusion model, eliminates the need for an additional set of reference images, and preserves the original quality for unaltered concepts.

  We experimentally demonstrate that classes are not equal and the fairness issue is prevalent for image classification models across various datasets. Our findings reveal that models tend to exhibit greater prediction biases for classes that are more challenging to recognize. Data augmentation and representation learning algorithms improve overall performance by promoting fairness to some degree in image classification.

  We show how biasing models can be applied to remedy problems in the context of visual recognition. Based on the (approximate) knowledge of the biasing mechanisms at work, our approach consists in reweighting the observations. We propose to use a low dimensional image representation, shared across the image databases.

We use the MR2 dataset to evaluate the fairness in the model outcomes and try to interpret the mistakes by looking at model activations and suggest possible fixes.
