43、s. Overall, the research shows the top- performing facial recognition systems fail to correctly identify unmasked individuals about 0. 3 percent of the time and the failure rate rose to about 5 percent with masked images. Many of the lower performing algorithms, however, had much higher error rates
44、with masked images as high as 20 to 50 percent.In the latest findings, researchers included results from 65 new facial recognition systems that have been developed since the start of the pandemic. Some of these systems performed significantly better than the earlier ones, Mei Ngan, a lead researcher
45、 on the project, said in a statement. The study also found round-shaped masks - which cover only the mouth and nose - led to fewer errors than wider ones that stretch across the cheeks. The new study also ran tests to see whether different colored masks would affect error rates. The team used red, w
46、hite, black and light blue. The research findings suggested that generally, the red and black masks led to higher failure rates than the other colors.32. How does the author mainly present the study finding?A. By giving definitions and examples.B. By giving examples and a brief description.C. By pre
