                    technology due to the needs of the society,
                    companies and governments for recognition, security
                    and privacy concerns. It has also become a growing
                    research area that offers greater security and
                    convenience solutions for various applications in
                    biometrics and forensics areas. </span></p>

                    data science are widely explored and used to address
                    several problems in many fields such as biometrics
                    and forensics. In this context, the advances in
                    artificial intelligence, in particular in feature
                    engineering and deep learning, have allowed to
                    resolve various complex problems related to

                    offers an end-to-end learning paradigm allowing to
                    unify these parts. It has been shown to be a
                    promising and powerful alternative to conventional
