(Un)fair Exposure in Deep Face Rankings at a Distance
Law enforcement regularly faces the challenge of ranking suspects from their facial images. Deep face models aid this process but frequently introduce biases that disproportionately affect certain demographic segments. While bias investigation is common in domains like job candidate ranking, the field of forensic face rankings remains underexplored. In this paper, we propose a novel experimental framework, encompassing six state-of-the-art face encoders and two public data sets, designed to scrutinize the extent to which demographic groups suffer from biases in exposure in the context of forensic face rankings. Through comprehensive experiments that cover both re-identification and identification tasks, we show that exposure biases within this domain are far from being countered, demanding attention towards establishing ad-hoc policies and corrective measures.
