PhD Students Laura Stevens and Tia presented research reviewing tech that allows #GBV survivors to report their experiences at CREST #BASS23. We found GBVxTech does incorporate some interview standards (e.g., open q) but lacks appropriate security measures!

Check out our paper in the PNASNews Special Feature. We demonstrate how eyewitness errors can be reduced by using interactive lineups that enable witnesses to actively explore faces and more effectively sample features. Let’s discuss! pnas.org/topic/557

1/ Thursday was Uni of Birmingham Annual Meeting, attended by prestigious guests of, and collaborators with, UoB. This years theme was AI. AML were invited to speak to attendees about using image manipulation technology to help witnesses of crime identify suspects from a lineup.

Welcome to our Seminar Series! Throughout the year, we will host a range of exciting talks by internal and external speakers at Uni of Birmingham and all can attend! The series begins on Thursday 26th October with a talk by Celine van Golde from the University of Sydney (full details below).

Had a fantastic time talking about interactive lineups w US police departments at #IACP2023 Learn more here: heatherflowe.com/interactive-fa… 3D Interactive Lineups

Our collaborator - the National VIPER Bureau - visited Uni of Birmingham this week to conduct a volunteer recording session in the Main Library. VIPER help to facilitate identification parades (lineups) in the UK and hosted this event to collect recordings for future parades (1/2)

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster! It was great to meet so many new people 🤩

💪🏼 Go Tia!
