We had a super busy day at ICCV 2019, Seoul, South Korea, while organising the Disguised Faces in the Wild (DFW) workshop (http://iab-rubric.org/DFW/). The day started with an overview of the DFW competition, followed by some paper presentations which continued through the day!
DFW workshop had four amazing keynotes spread over the day by Dr. Ming-Yu Liu (Nvidia), Dr. Lars Ericson (IARPA), Dr. Manohar Paluri (Facebook), and Dr. Stefanos Zafeiriou (Imperial College, London).
The participants also engaged in active discussions with a panel discussion with panelists from several fields: Dr. Manohar Palluri, Dr.Ming-Yu Liu, Dr. Lars Ericson, and Dr. Stefanos Zafeirou, moderated by Dr. Rama Chellappa.

Paper accepted in the senior member track, AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI2020), to be held in New York, USA!
"Unravelling Robustness of Face Recognition Algorithms", Richa Singh, Akshay Agarwal, Maneet Singh, Shruti Nagpal, Mayank Vatsa.
In this research, we talked about different ways in which the robustness of a face recognition algorithm is challenged (such as adversarial attacks, plastic surgery, disguises, and bias) and what can be done to address them.

Akshay Agarwal, PhD scholar at the IAB lab, recently attended the 2019 Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF). The 7th HLF took place from September 22–27, 2019, and had the most robust scientific program to date, including three panels that addressed fundamental issues for science and humanity at large. 23 laureates of mathematics and computer science spent the week interacting with 200 of the most dynamic young researchers in the fields. Through a blend of scientific and social elements, paired with ample time, the participants had the opportunity to shed formalities and extensively discuss.
Akshay received travel support via the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) and was also the recipient of the SAP Grant at the HLF. SAP SE is an academic partner of the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation and provides twenty Young Researcher grants.
Congratulations Akshay! :D
