Fairness in Oculomotoric Biometric Identification


Prasse, Paul; Reich, David Robert; Makowski, Silvia; Jäger, Lena A; Scheffer, Tobias (2022). Fairness in Oculomotoric Biometric Identification. In: ETRA '22: 2022 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications, Seattle WA USA, 2022. ACM, 1-8.

Abstract

Gaze patterns are known to be highly individual, and therefore eye movements can serve as a biometric characteristic. We explore aspects of the fairness of biometric identification based on gaze patterns. We find that while oculomotoric identification does not favor any particular gender and does not significantly favor by age range, it is unfair with respect to ethnicity. Moreover, fairness concerning ethnicity cannot be achieved by balancing the training data for the best-performing model.
