Data Scientist
Perfios Software Solutions Private Ltd.🔗
09/2022 – 08/2024; Mumbai, India
Responsibilities/Tasks

Work on 1:1 Face Matching and Face Image Quality Analysis
Build data augmentation pipelines and novel models for face recognition for 1:1 Matching across pair of images from different domains ranging from PII cards to Print Photos to Selfies.
Help create quality estimates for images of faces since they are all across a wide variety of domains and poor quality face-match estimates needed to be highlighted for manual review.
Enhance an inbuilt model to establish liveness of a person/customer undergoing a KYC journey i.e. whether the person is actually present live when doing the journey or someone is faking the presence of the user using a cutout photo, mask, display screen etc.
