[Meet our Faculty] Chiara GALDI, Professor in the Digital Security department

I’d like to establish a research interest group focused on how to employ computer vision and image forensics for human rights.

More recently, I worked on a project called “XAI-Face” that examined the explainability of facial recognition. That subject is incredibly fascinating. Considering that technology is pervasive, people who work in biometrics can extract data from a person’s face and other biometric characteristics. However, we are unsure of the precise processes taking place right now in these deep neural networks. Therefore, this study aims to aid in the knowledge of how this network functions, what occurs within these networks, and how the information gleaned from faces is used. Eventually, this will help with understanding how to safeguard some unnecessary information.
