New forensic tools will help identify children in child sexual exploitation material

(NYU Tandon School of Engineering) Researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and the digital intelligence tech company Griffeye are building tech tools to aid law enforcement in identifying children in child sexual exploitation material. They are automating the analysis of explicit video by using advanced machine learning techniques to accurately and quickly identify both nudity and children. The techniques detected explicit images 83 percent of the time and were 96.5 percent accurate in distinguishing children's faces from adults'.
