Our #image #analysis #pipeline is ready to go into #pruduction.

It combines #AI and #forensic techniques to assess authenticity. It first extracts EXIF/XMP #metadata to detect real camera data forcing a “photograph” classification if present. Then, a CLIP based preprocessor (#computervision) classifies images into categories: photograph, meme, infographic, comic/cartoons, or text only.

Custom configurations (#development) adjust weights so that, for example, memes/text only images discount AI model influence while forensic tests (ELA, FFT, noise, edge sharpness, text detection) (#science, #math) quantify artifacts. #C2PA data is also considered. All evidence is combined to yield a final decision which will be the “confidence percentage” data that will be included in every post moving forward.

Super happy to see the open source sysdiagnose joining the hackathon.lu held in Luxembourg on April 8th and 9th, 2025.

sysdiagnose is an open-source framework developed to facilitate the analysis of the Apple sysdiagnose files and especially the one generated on mobile devices (iOS / iPadOS). In the light of targeted attacks against journalists, activist, representatives from the civil society and politicians, it empowered incident response team to review device behaviour and ensure their integrity. This tool is initially the result of a joint effort between EC DIGIT CSOC (European Commission DG DIGIT) and CERT-EU (cert.europa.eu/).

A Chicago judge just erased her predecessor's historic ruling on forensic firearms analysis

The courts continue to think that legitimacy comes not from correcting their mistakes, but insisting that they never make them

The Watch · A Chicago judge just erased her predecessor's historic ruling on forensic firearms analysisBy Radley Balko

The term “#forensic #linguistics” was likely coined in the 1960s by Jan Svartvik,
a Swedish linguist who re-examined the controversial case of Timothy John Evans,
a Welshman who was wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and daughter and was convicted and hanged in 1950.
Svartvik found that it was unlikely that Evans, who was illiterate, had written the most damning parts of his confession,
which had been transcribed by police and likely tampered with.
The real murderer was the Evans’ downstairs neighbor, who turned out to be a serial killer.

A forensic linguist has much in common with Sherlock Homes in “A Scandal in Bohemia.”:
“The man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence?” the detective asks in the 1891 short story. “A Frenchman or a Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs.”
