Scalable infrastructure in identity verification services
When you’re a significant player in the identity verification sector, providing a comfortable and, above all, seamless user experience is expected. That’s why responsiveness and scalability are essential to ensure your services can respond at all times, handle increased traffic, or respond to peaks workload if required. In Alice we use an architecture based on […]

Understanding Machine Learning: A Conceptual Approach
Machine learning is a technique used to create very complex algorithms in an efficient manner. The idea is that by using ML, engineers are able to make algorithmic models that can understand inputs with thousands or millions of interconnected variables and make sense of them to give a coherent output. Although, theoretically, these models could […]

Defining the core accuracy metrics of biometric systems
During the evaluation of Biometrics-based systems, one of the first steps involves defining the core accuracy metrics. This is an important step that helps us to assess if the behavior of our system corresponds with our expectations. Verification scores measure the differences between two given biometrics samples and it’s normally given in 2 forms: a) […]
