*** 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:
