LiveFace: A Multi-task CNN for Fast Face-Authentication

2018 17th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA), 2018
Modern face recognition systems are accurate but they are vulnerable to different types of spoofing attacks. To solve this problem, conventional face authentication systems typically employ an additional module to analyze the liveness of the input faces before feeding it into the face recognition module.

“Authentic Tasks” and “Extreme Tasks”: Potential Approaches to Overcoming Incorrect Responses in Conservation Tasks

International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
This study begins the task of mapping out two approaches that may be helpful in overcoming incorrect responses to conservation tasks, focusing on the non-conserved quantity. The incorrect responses, which were the result of over-generalizations of conservation, and gradually increased with age despite formal knowledge and minor perceptual input, were ...
