The IJCB 2025 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held on September 08, 2025, immediately preceding the main conference at the same venue in Osaka, Japan. Tutorials should provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of topics relevant to biometrics. They are expected to be educational and accessible, aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals from academia and industry.
Tutorials can be either half-day (2–3 hours) or full-day (5–6 hours), depending on the depth and scope of the topic. While most tutorials are expected to be half-day, full-day sessions are encouraged for topics that require more extensive coverage or have broad community interest. We welcome proposals that include clear learning objectives and a well-structured plan to engage participants effectively.
Any area of biometrics can be the subject of a tutorial, and possible areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Recent advances in biometric sensor design and data collection
- Approaches for trustworthy biometrics (e.g., related topics in bias and fairness, privacy and security, robustness, explainability, transparency, etc.);
- Biometric recognition aided with generative models;
- Developments of multimodal biometrics;
- Human identification at a distance;
- Open-set liveness detection, anti-spoofing in the wild;
- Efficient biometric algorithms using light architectures (e.g. match-on-card/board, mobile platforms, etc.);
- Ethical implications of Biometric-related AI regulations
- Biometric applications in Metaverse.
Submission Instructions:
Proposals should be in PDF format of at most 3 pages (excluding biographies) and should contain the following information:
- Proposed Title
- Proposers’ names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches
- Preference for half- or full-day event (the latter requires a brief justification)
- Abstract;
- Expected target audience, in terms of both composition and estimated number of attendees;
- Prerequisites for the participants (if any);
- List of topics to be presented with their estimated duration and pointers/references to the associated literature;
- Description of and/or links to any planned materials or resources to be distributed to attendees;
- A short biography of the tutor(s) with relevant experience on the tutorial topic;
- List on any similar tutorial(s) presented in the past by the author(s) on the same or closely related topic.
Tutorial proposals should be submitted via email to the tutorial chairs: Anderson Rocha (anderson.rocha@unicamp.br) and Zasim Uddin (zasim@brur.ac.bd) with the subject title “IJCB 2025 – Tutorial Proposal”.
