My current research in the Cinema and Media Studies at York University involves studying the cinema of facial recognition software (FRS) alongside research creation that build and trains FRS using Tensorflow and Keras and employing OpenCV and Python, as well as a variety of publicly-available datasets like FERET, MEDS database, and the recent IBM Faces in Diversity. There is an urgency around the need for public-facing and easily digestible explanations of FRS as it is widely accepted that facial recognition software can, and very often does, contain biases in its code libraries and/or training databases. You can watch this lecture that was given as part of the Ryerson University Centre for Digital Humanities Lunchtime Talks series for a general overview of some of the research directions I am currently taking; you can also scroll down to see some of the conference papers I have given on the topic as well as some of the ongoing research creation projects that I am involved in.
