Manipulating Weights in Face-Recognition AI Systems
2023-02-03 12:07

Abstract: In this paper we describe how to plant novel types of backdoors in any facial recognition model based on the popular architecture of deep Siamese neural networks, by mathematically changing a small fraction of its weights. These backdoors force the system to err only on specific persons which are preselected by the attacker.
