Abstract
The fundamental goal of a revocable biometric system is to defend a user’s biometrics from being compromised. This research explores the application of deep learning or Convolutional Neural Networks to multi-instance biometrics. Modality features are transformed into revocable templates through the application of random projection. During the user authentication phase, we employ Support Vector Machines, chosen over three other alternative classifiers after carrying out a comparative study. Comparison of the proposed method over other standard deep learning models and performance evaluation before and after revocability have also been discussed. Results demonstrate ability to improve identification accuracy and provide sound template security. The system was validated on three multi-instance iris and fingervein databases.

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
