A competition focused on adapting foundation models for face recognition using synthetic data was held at the 2026 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2026). The competition, named IJCB-AFMFR 2026, involved eight submissions from four teams across two tracks: full data adaptation of the CLIP ViT-L/14 model and limited data adaptation. All training data was generated using IDPERTURB, and submissions were evaluated on various benchmarks. The results indicated that adapting the CLIP foundation model with synthetic data significantly improved performance over the off-the-shelf model. AI
