The Department of Computer Science at The Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics held a master defence. The thesis entitled “age-invariant face recognition based on machine learning techniques” was defended by student Montadhar Hussein Ibrahim. In this project, facial features change during the aging process. Two approaches were proposed: first, by combining the convolutional deep neural network with support vector classifications (SVC) method and the second was by convolutional neural network. These methods can be used to control the phenomenon of impersonation, as well as to reduce the crimes of changing the identity of others caused by the general similarity between people. The defence was successfully accepted.
