• Abstract: Impact due to demographic factors such as age, sex, race, etc., has been studied extensively in automated face recognition systems. However, the impact of \textit{digitally modified} demographic and facial attributes on face recognition is relatively under-explored. In this work, we study the effect of attribute manipulations induced via generative adversarial networks (GANs) on face recognition performance. We conduct experiments on the CelebA dataset by intentionally modifying thirteen attributes using AttGAN and STGAN and evaluating their impact on two deep learning-based face verification methods, ArcFace and VGGFace. Our findings indicate that some attribute manipulations involving eyeglasses and digital alteration of sex cues can significantly impair face recognition by up to 73% and need further analysis.

  We propose Contrastive Inhibitory Adaptati On (CIAO), a mechanism that adapts the last layer of facial encoders to depict specific affective characteristics on different datasets. CIAO presents an improvement in facial expression recognition performance over six different datasets with very unique affective representations.
