Teaching machines to fight crime
Louise Campbell
PhD candidate in forensic statistics
If you’ve ever watched a crime drama, you’ll know how important it is to gather DNA samples from a crime scene ASAP. But how do the authorities know which ones to prioritise? Louise is applying machine learning to provide answers—and fast.
Her ‘recommender’ system will enhance crime-scene analysis by triaging exhibits to increase the likelihood of securing successful DNA profiles.
“Machine learning can revolutionise forensics,” says Louise Campbell.
"This is exciting work that could have an enormous impact on criminal justice."
