A new research paper proposes a method called Demographic-based Supervised Contrastive loss (DeSCon) to mitigate bias in face recognition systems. While existing methods often focus on balancing training data, this approach specifically targets fairness by improving performance in the tail of the non-match score distribution, where systems operate at low false match rates. DeSCon utilizes a carefully constructed batch composition and demographic-aware pair selection during training. Experiments on labeled datasets and standard benchmarks demonstrate that DeSCon enhances fairness while maintaining competitive verification accuracy. AI
