Overview: Discusses state-of-the-art AI-guided tools, their explainability and ethical issues.Presents a case study which covers both XAI and ethical issues.Serves as a reference for researchers and practitioneAI has contributed a lot and biometrics is no exception. To make AI solutions commercialized/fully functional, one requires trustworthy and explainable AI (XAI) solutions while respecting ethical issues. Within the scope of biometrics, the book aims at both revisiting ethical AI principles by taking into account state-of-the-art AI-guided tools and their responsibilities i.e., responsibl

Overview: What is depiction? A new answer is given to this venerable question by providing a syncretistic theory of depiction that tries to combine the merits of the previous theories on the matter while dropping their defects. Thus, not only perceptual, but also both conventional and causal factors contribute in making something a picture of something else.978-1-349-44249-2978-1-137-26329-2
