DFRWS EU 2015 – Dublin 23rd – 26th March

25th May 202017th March 2015 by Forensic Focus

On Monday 23rd of March 2015, Forensic Focus will be attending DFRWS EU – the European Digital Forensic Research Workshop – at University College Dublin, Ireland. If there are any topics you would particularly like us to cover in-depth, or if there are any speakers you think we should interview, please let us know in the comments.

DFRWS has been running in the USA since 2001 and expanded to Europe in 2013. Organised by some of the most prominent names in digital forensics, including Eoghan Casey, Frank Adelstein and Vassil Roussev, it has grown over the years from a small workshop group to a full conference with a double blind review and printed proceedings.

This year’s European conference runs from the 23rd – 26th of March, and Forensic Focus will be taking notes throughout the workshops and interviewing key figures.

Marco Fontani joins the Forensic Focus podcast to discuss Amped Software’s latest AI-powered tool, DeepPlate. DeepPlate is a deep learning system designed to read license plates affected by common issues introduced by surveillance systems, making it a valuable asset for forensic video analysts.

Marco provides an in-depth overview of DeepPlate, explaining how it currently supports eight countries (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the United States) and how it uses separate models for each country to account for varying license plate formats. He also discusses the synthetic data generation process used for training the models, ensuring privacy and mitigating bias.

The conversation delves into the limitations and considerations when using AI-based tools in a forensic workflow, with Marco emphasizing the importance of bias mitigation techniques and proper interpretation of confidence scores. He stresses that DeepPlate is an investigative tool designed to provide a second opinion, rather than a tool for court admissibility.
