We are happy to announce that on Monday September 4 @ 14:00 in room Ke we are going to host a talk by prof. Anderson Rocha from Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brasil titled
Artificial Intelligence and Digital Forensics: a much-needed alliance
Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss a panoramic view of digital forensics in the last 10 years and how it needed to evolve from basic computer vision and simple natural language processing techniques to powerful AI-driven methods to deal with the signs of the new age. We will discuss tampering detection and its evolution, fact-checking, and authorship analysis as well as recent advances in self-supervised learning to deal with large-scale search in some forensics problems.
