Person search has recently gained attention as the novel task of finding a person, provided as a cropped sample, from a gallery of non-cropped images, whereby several other people are also visible. We believe that i. person detection and re-identification should be pursued in a joint optimization framework and that ii. the person search should leverage the query image extensively (e.g. emphasizing unique query patterns). However, so far, no prior art realizes this. We introduce a novel query-guided end-to-end person search network (QEEPS) to address both aspects.

Biometric security systems based on predefined speech sentences are extremely common nowadays, particularly in low-cost applications where the simplicity of the hardware involved is a great advantage. Audio spoofing verification is the problem of detecting whether a speech segment acquired from such a system is genuine, or whether it was synthesized or modified by a computer in order to make it sound like an authorized person.
