Facial recognition has become more widespread and accurate in recent years, as an artificial intelligence technology called deep learning made computers much better at interpreting images ...

WiMi's face recognition algorithm system automatically learns the high-level features of the image, improving the accuracy and robustness of face recognition.

Researchers have developed a new computational model of the human brain's face-recognition mechanism that seems to capture aspects of human neurology that previous models have missed.

Face-mask recognition has arrived—for better or worse New algorithms can police whether people are complying with public health guidance. The practice raises familiar questions about data privacy.

US government tests find even top-performing facial recognition systems misidentify black people at rates 5 to 10 times higher than they do white people.

In most discussions, deep learning means using deep neural networks. There are, however, a few algorithms that implement deep learning using other kinds of hidden layers besides neural networks.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is piloting facial recognition technologies that can see through face masks with a "promising" level of accuracy, meaning that travelers could end up ...
