Biometric Recognition Algorithms

Chinese online video platform company iQIYI has published a dataset of over half a million videos of 5,000 celebrities to foster the development of biometric recognition algorithms. iQIYI released the data as part of its Celebrity Video Identification Challenge. AI has made significant advancements in identifying humans in photos, but the different movements and expressions of people makes identification harder in videos. In addition, the challenge encourages participants to develop algorithms that not only identify individuals by their facial features, but also by the sound of their voice and their gait.

Get the data.
