\section{Other information: Overview of Recent and Impactful Contributions}

\subsection{Semantic Segmentation for Medical Imaging}

Since the introduction of U-Nets in 2015, the field of medical image
segmentation has seen renewed interest bringing in a variety of fully
convolutional (deep) neural network (FCN) architectures for binary and
multi-class segmentation problems promising very attractive results, with
applications in computed tomography, retinography, and histopathology to cite a
few. Despite the incredible progress, the lack of annotated images (due to
cost), and rigor in the comparison of trained models has led the community to
believe larger and more dense networks provide better results. This is
particularly noticeable in ophtalmological images such as those from
bi-dimensional eye fundus photography (retinography). While retinography is
not used for precision diagnosis, it remains cheap and very effective means for
mass screening. Semantical segmentation of eye fundus structures plays a key
role in this process.

I tried to address these gaps in two different ways. The
first~\cite{arxiv-2019} was to conduct and publish rigorous (open source,
reproducible) benchmarks with popular retinography datasets and
state-of-the-art FCN models in which we: i) showed that simple transformation
techniques like rescaling, padding and cropping of combined lower-resolution
source datasets to the resolution and spatial composition of a
higher-resolution target dataset can be a surprisingly effective way to improve
segmentation quality in unseen conditions; ii) we proposed a set of plots and
metrics that give additional insights into model performance and demonstrated
via tables and plots how to take advantage of that information, throwing a new
light over some published benchmarks. We argue the performance of many
contributions available in literature is actually quite comparable within
standard deviation margins of each other, in spite of huge differences in the
number of parameters for different architectures. Finally, we made our
findings reproducible, distributing code and documentation for future
researchers to build upon, in the hopes to inspire future work in the
field (\url{https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.ip.binseg}).

In a second contribution~\cite{arxiv-2020} we propose that a minimalistic
version of a standard U-Net with 3 orders of magnitude less parameters,
carefully trained and rigorously evaluated, closely approximates the
state-of-the-art performance in vessel segmentation for retinography. In
addition, we propose a simple extension, dubbed W-Net, by concatenating two
U-Nets together, which reaches outstanding performance on several popular
datasets, still using orders of magnitude less learnable weights than any
previously published approach. This work also provide a very comprehensive
intra and cross-dataset performance analysis, involving up to 10 different
databases, including artery/vein multi-class semantic segmentation.


\subsection{Contributions to Computer Vision and Deep Learning in Biometrics}

I have actively worked in computer vision and deep learning (mostly) associated
to biometric recognition, with potential application to various other tasks.
Contributions range from the collection of datasets, the exploration of
different methods to address and assess biometric recognition vulnerabilities,
domain adaptation, and remote photoplethysmography.

While I have worked in various contributions, I highlight here key publications
from the past 5 years that may related to the proposal.

\begin{itemize}

\item Domain Specific Units (Adaptation): In~\cite{tifs-2019}, we apply
domain adaptation via dedicated Domain-Specific Units (DSU), with an
application to Heterogeneous Face Recognition. In this class of
problems, one wants to recognize an individual across different
spectral data, based on the representation on a principal spectrum
(e.g., visual). It is a challenging task because multi-spectral data
for covering large populations is rare, which in turn stymies the
training of deep convolution-based architectures for this task. We
developed a mechanism to adapt the parameters of models pre-trained on
large visual spectral face recognition datasets, which are readily
available. My contributions are directly related to core idea of this
work.

\item Anomaly Detection and Robustness: Biometric recognition systems are
exposed to presentation attacks, and dectectors (PAD) for this purpose
are required building blocks of thrustworthy systems. Most PAD systems
work discriminatively, trying to separate attacks from \textit{bona fide}
presentations. We showed this technique does not generalize well to
unseen presentation attacks. We explored, for the first time, alternate
approaches by joint-modelling client identity as a way to calibrate PAD
output scores~\cite{tifs-2015}, showing increased robustness to unseen
attacks. More recently, we also showed that solely modelling
\textit{bona fide} presentations is also an effective way to increased
PAD robustness~\cite{icb-2018}. Finally, we showed that by adding
heterogenous inputs to PAD systems can improve their
robustness~\cite{tifs-2019-2} to achieve state-of-the-art performance,
even to unseen conditions during training.

\end{itemize}

This work was published as book chapters, international peer-reviewed
scientific journals (including articles at very high-impact factor journals)
and in peer-reviewed conference papers totalling a few thousand citations.
Accompanying software packages for suh contributions were released publicly,
under an open-source license. For details and more links, please refer to the
applicant's Research Output.

\subsection{Reproducible Research}

We've been actively looking at the reproducibility of published work and how to
lower the entrance barrier of publication readers, converting them into engaged
users of methods we create. We argue it is insufficient, in most cases, to
only publish software leading to results if original data remains inaccessible.
In particular~\cite{acmmm-2012}, we note that reproducibility should imply
in the following characteristics: repeatability, shareability, extensibility
and stability, which is not guaranteed by most published material to date. We
proposed an open-source software suite called Bob
(\url{https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob}) that possesses such characteristics,
demonstrating its flexibility to various tasks including Medical Image
Segmentation (\url{https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.ip.binseg}), Remote
Photoplethysmography (\url{https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.rppg.base}), and
Biometric Person Recognition (\url{https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.bio.base}).

From another perspective, there are legitimate cases in which raw data leading
to research conclusions cannot be published. Furthermore, in a growing number
of use-cases, the availability of both software does not translate to an
accessible reproducibility scenario. The user, for example, may not have the
necessary equipment to perform the analysis. To bridge this gap, we built an
open platform for research (\url{https://www.beat-eu.org/platform}) in
computational sciences related to pattern recognition and machine learning, to
help on the development, reproducibility and certification of results obtained
in the field~\cite{icml-2017-1}. The BEAT platform is distributed under an
open-source license (\url{https://www.idiap.ch/software/beat/}).

Both projects are still active and support past and future work at Idiap and
beyond. We conducted (and will continue doing) lectures to both master and
graduate students about reproducibility in data science (refer to the
applicant's CV under the section "Teaching" for details). There are currently
$\sim$180 \textit{direct} citations to publications about Bob and BEAT core
frameworks.
