Adversarial Patch Attacks on Deep-Learning-Based Face Recognition Systems Using Generative Adversarial Networks by Ren-Hung Hwang, Jia-You Lin, Sun-Ying Hsieh, Hsuan-Yu Lin, Chia-Liang Lin

“…Face recognition is used in many scenarios nowadays, including security control systems, access control management, health and safety management, employee attendance monitoring, automatic border control, and face scan payment. However, deep learning models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks conducted by perturbing probe images to generate adversarial examples, or using adversarial patches to generate well-designed perturbations in specific regions of the image. …”

The inclusive, social space-oriented participation of people with disabilities in the Bavaria–Tyrol border region during the COVID-19 pandemic by Lukas Kerschbaumer, Sascha Gell, Ajla Nesimovic, Philipp Weinkogl

“…Thus facing restricted individual social space, especially in rural areas, the region’s PWD experience various constraints to self-determined lives, which the COVID-19 pandemic’s isolation and heightened border control have only aggravated. Against that background, we sought to identify factors that have enabled or constrained PWD’s individual agency in the Bavaria–Tyrol border region both before and during the pandemic. …”
