• Abstract: In an era where the global population is aging significantly, cognitive impairments among the elderly have become a major health concern. The need for effective assistive technologies is clear, and facial recognition systems are emerging as promising tools to address this issue. This document discusses the development and evaluation of a new Multifunctional Facial Recognition System (MFRS), designed specifically to assist older adults with cognitive impairments. The MFRS leverages face_recognition [1], a powerful open-source library capable of extracting, identifying, and manipulating facial features. Our system integrates the face recognition and retrieval capabilities of face_recognition, along with additional functionalities to capture images and record voice memos. This combination of features notably enhances the system's usability and versatility, making it a more user-friendly and universally applicable tool for end-users.

  Few-shot-based facial recognition systems have gained increasing attention due to their scalability and ability to work with a few face images. To prevent the face images from being misused, one straightforward approach is to modify the raw face images before sharing them. We propose a complete toolkit FACE-AUDITOR that can query the few-shot-based facial recognition model and determine whether any of a user's face images is used in training the model.
