Abstract
For its unique advantages of preventing the loss of user identification, biometrics authentication is being increasingly used on mobile devices to meet the demand of access control and electronic transactions. Biometric community has been working on different approaches to improve reliability of security systems, multimodal authentication has attracted a lot of attention for its advantages over uni-modal biometric matchers. Nevertheless, errors caused by noises existing in real-world circumstances have become a major fact that slows down its acceptance in mobile computing. Aimed at improving the reliability of biometric authentication, current practice uses score-level fusion to combine normalized outputs of multiple classifiers. By investigating the performance of different score-level fusion methods with normalization techniques in different noise conditions, this work develops an algorithm to analyze the individual biometric matching scores in different noise conditions and dynamically select the combinations of normalization and fusion methods that are adequate for different working environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
