• Title: Content Bias in Deep Learning Image Age Approximation: A new Approach Towards better Explainability
• Authors: Robert Jöchl, Andreas Uhl,
• Abstract summary: In temporal image forensics, content bias can be exploited by a neural network. A novel approach is proposed that evaluates the influence of image content. It is shown that a deep learning approach proposed in the context of age classification is most likely highly dependent on the image content.

• Abstract: In the context of temporal image forensics, it is not evident that a neural network, trained on images from different time-slots (classes), exploits solely image age related features. Usually, images taken in close temporal proximity (e.g., belonging to the same age class) share some common content properties. Such content bias can be exploited by a neural network. In this work, a novel approach is proposed that evaluates the influence of image content. This approach is verified using synthetic images (where content bias can be ruled out) with an age signal embedded. Based on the proposed approach, it is shown that a deep learning approach proposed in the context of age classification is most likely highly dependent on the image content. As a possible countermeasure, two different models from the field of image steganalysis, along with three different preprocessing techniques to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (age signal to image content), are evaluated using the proposed method.

  This paper focuses on the eye-movement analysis of viewers during the visual experience of a certain number of paintings.

We explore the use of data augmentation, dropout, ensembling, single-view reconstruction, and model linearization to compute a Wellington Posterior. Additional methods include the use of conditional generative models such as generative adversarial networks, neural radiance fields, and conditional prior networks.

  We propose an end-to-end approach to verify whether the purported time of capture of an image is consistent with its content and geographic location. The central idea is the use of supervised consistency verification, in which we predict the probability that the image content, capture time, and geographical location are consistent. Our approach improves upon previous work on a large benchmark dataset, increasing the classification accuracy from 59.03% to 81.07%.
