Morph Ii Dataset

A face recognition model trained predominantly on African American males may generalize poorly to Caucasian females, Asian elders, or Hispanic teenagers. Several studies have shown that models fine-tuned on Morph II exhibit reduced accuracy on out-of-demo groups. Worse, when such models are deployed in real-world systems (e.g., law enforcement or airport security), they can perpetuate a cycle of demographic bias.

The crown jewel of Morph II is its longitudinal structure. For a subset of approximately 4,000 subjects, the dataset includes five or more images spaced over time. This allows researchers to: A face recognition model trained predominantly on African
