 Synthetic Realities and Data in Biometric Analysis and Security (SynRDinBAS)
 Workshop held at WACV 2025 (IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision) 
 February 28 – March 4, 2024, Tucson, Arizona, US



 Paper submission: December 12, 2024, 11:59pm PST


 Best workshop papers will be invited for extension and submission to a special issue in Information Fusion (IF: 14.7)


 ***************************** 
  
 *** Call for Papers *** 
 Recent advancements in generative models like GANs, VAEs, and diffusion models have transformed data-driven tasks in computer vision and AI by enabling the creation of highly realistic synthetic data. These models address data scarcity challenges, offering  versatile and ethical alternatives for training and testing machine learning algorithms. However, their realism also raises concerns, as synthetic data's indistinguishability from real data poses risks of misuse, manipulation, and potential harm when used  unethically. 


 Synthetic Realities and Data in Biometric Analysis and Security (SynRDinBAS) is a workshop that aims to explore the diverse applications of synthetic realities and data in biometric analysis, while also addressing critical security issues such as data privacy and ethical concerns of data manipulation. 


 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


    

  • 

    Novel generative models for synthesis of biometric data,
    

    • 

  • 

    Synthetic realities in immersive media for biometric interaction and analysis,
    

    • 

  • 

    Synthetic realities for behavioral biometric data collection and analysis,
    

    • 

  • 

    Label generation for synthetic data,
    

    • 

  • 

    Information leakage in synthetic data,
    

    • 

  • 

    Data factories for training biometric (detection, landmarking, recognition) models,
    

    • 

  • 

    Synthetic data for data augmentation,
    

    • 

  • 

    Data synthesis for bias mitigation and fairness,
    

    • 

  • 

    Quality assessment for synthetic data,
    

    • 

  • 

    Synthetic data for privacy protection,
    

    • 

  • 

    Novel applications of synthetic data,
    

    • 

  • 

    New synthetic datasets and performance benchmarks,
    

    • 

  • 

    Applications of synthetic data, e.g., deepfakes, virtual try-on, face and gesture editing,
    

    • 

  • 

    Partially or fully synthetically generated attacks on biometric systems for identification and verification,
    

    • 

  • 

    Detection of manipulated and synthetic content,
    

    • 

  • 

    Forensic analysis of synthetic data.

*** Second Call for Papers ***


 


The 24th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society (I3E 2025)


 


September 9-11, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus


 



 


(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)


(*** Journal Special Issue with Springer's SN Computer Science ***)


Conference theme: “Pervasive digital services for people’s well-being, inclusion and


sustainable development”


 


OVERVIEW


 


Next-gen digital services contribute to people’s well-being, inclusion, and sustainable 


development, re-shaping e-business, e-services, and e-society. Such services are pervasive 


both since they run on a large variety of heterogeneous devices and they permeate various 


aspects of daily life, by offering accessible and personalised experiences to all individuals. The 


proposed theme advocates for the design, implementation and operations of novel digital 


solutions that satisfy the needs of different individuals, while contributing to their well-being 


and to preserving the Planet.


 


I3E 2025 will collect contributions about the creation and management of user-centric


accessible platforms, applications, and services that empower individuals to live healthier and


more fulfilling lives. The proposed theme aims at emphasizing how it is possible to leverage


different technologies to address pressing societal challenges such as, for instance, healthcare


access, education, poverty alleviation, sustainable usage of resources, and social equity,


towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
