<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">From the early
days, when security was the driving force behind biometric
research, today’s challenges go far beyond security. Machine
learning, Image understanding, Signal analysis, Neuroscience,
Robotics, Forensic science, Digital forensics and other
disciplines, converged in a truly multidisciplinary effort to
devise and build advanced systems to facilitate the
interpretation of signals recorded from individuals acting in
a given environment. This is what we simply call today
“Biometrics”.</span><span><br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-US">For the last
nineteen years, the International Summer School on Biometrics
has been closely following the developments in science and
technology to offer a cutting edge, intensive training course,
always up to date with the current state-of-the-art.</span><span><br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-US">What are the
most up-to-date core biometric technologies developed in the
field? What is the potential impact of biometrics in forensic
investigation and crime prevention? What can we learn from
human perception? How to deploy current Machine Learning
approaches? How to deal with <i>adversarial attacks</i> in
biometric recognition? <span style="color:black">How can a
biometric system learn continually?</span></span><span>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-US">This school
follows the successful track of the International Summer
Schools on Biometrics held since 2003. In this 19<sup>th</sup>
edition, the courses will mainly focus on new and emerging
issues:</span><span><br>
<br>
• <b>The impact of AI and advanced learning techniques
in Biometrics;</b><br>
• <b>How to make “Deep Biometrics” systems <i>explainable</i>;</b><br>
• <b>The advantages of continual learning for
biometrics;</b><br>
• <b>How to exploit new biometric technologies in
forensic and emerging applications.</b><br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-US">The courses
will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the
state-of-the-art in biometric verification/identification
technology, both under the theoretical and scientific point of
view as well as in diverse application domains. The lectures
will be given by 18 outstanding experts in the field, from
both academia and industry.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">An advanced
feature of this summer school will be some practical sessions
to better understand, “hands on”, the real potential of
today’s biometric technologies.</span><span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
expected school fees will be in the order of 1,600 € (400 € in
videoconference) for students and 2,200 € (800 € in
videoconference) for others. The fees will include full board
accommodation, all courses and handling material.<br>
A limited number of scholarships, partially covering the fees,
will be awarded to Phd students, selected on the basis of
their scientific background and on-going research work.<br>

school will be hosted by Hotel Dei Pini (<a href="https://www.hoteldeipini.com/" target="_blank">https://www.hoteldeipini.com/</a>
) in the Capo Caccia bay, near Alghero, Sardinia. This is one
of the most beautiful resorts in the Mediterranean Sea. The
structure is beautifully immersed into the Capo Caccia bay.
The hotel Dei Pini has a recently renovated conference centre,
fully equipped for scientific events. The school venue, as
well as the surroundings, proved to be a perfect environment
for the school activities.<b><span></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
school lectures will be delivered as a <b>mixed mode event</b>,
allowing both physical (if the medical advice at the time of
the school will allow it in full security) and remote
attendance with videoconferencing facilities.</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>For participants attending in
videoconference, live lectures will be delivered online with
full sharing of the lecturing material and allowing live
interaction with the participants. Private and group
meetings with each lecturer will be organised to deepen the
discussion started in the class.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Ad-hoc teleconferencing and
communication tools will be also set up for practical
hands-on sessions and to allow a good engagement of the
participants and the lecturers.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Open sessions will be organised
with questions and answers moderated by the leading experts
in the field.</span></li>
