*Abstract: ***

Understanding the quality characteristics of facial images is of key 
importance for various face-related applications, ranging from biometric 
verification systems and problems in surveillance and security to 
applications in human-machine interaction and affective computing. In 
this talk, I will first talk about the general problem of Face Image 
Quality Assessment (FIQA) and discuss how it differs from the more 
perceptually driven Image Quality Assessment (IQA) task that is used for 
quality assessment of arbitrary natural images. I will then elaborate on 
the most interesting trends and solutions towards face image quality 
assessment and present a few of our recent models for this task, i.e., 
(i) FaceQAN that predicts quality based on the analysis of adversarial 
noise, (ii) DifFIQA and eDiffFIQA that use probabilistic denoising 
diffusion models to estimate face image quality, and (iii) FROQ, which 
is an efficient FIQA method with limited computational overhead. 
Finally, I will share some insights with respect to FIQA techniques and 
highlight some open issues and future research directions in this space.
