# Dataset Analyses

Explore face and person recognition datasets contributing to the growing crisis of biometric surveillance technologies. This first group of 5 datasets focuses on image usage connected to foreign surveillance and defense organizations.

In response to the analyses below, the [Brainwash](/datasets/brainwash), [Duke MTMC](/datasets/duke_mtmc), and [MS Celeb](/datasets/msceleb/) datasets have been taken down by their authors. The [UCCS](/dataests/uccs/) dataset was temporarily deactivated due to metadata exposure. Read more [news](/about/news). A more complete list of datasets and research will be published in September 2019. These 5 are only a preview.
