That maxim has become an operating assumption for any remotely skeptical person interacting anywhere online, from Facebook and Twitter to phishing-plagued inboxes to spammy comment sections to online dating and disinformation-plagued media. Now one group of researchers has suggested the first hint of a solution: They claim to have built a prototype for an "online polygraph" that uses machine learning to detect deception from text alone. But what they've actually demonstrated, according to a few machine learning academics, is the inherent danger of overblown machine learning claims.

He monitors between 30 and 40 game cameras and hunts from Del Rio on the Mexican border to Elgin, east of Austin. In preparation for last weekend's second annual Central Coast "All In" Hog Contest, run out of Hallettsville, he and his teammates, Brandon and Dayland Pape, spent 300 hours scouting out the biggest hogs in the region. On Friday evening, their preparation was put to the test.

The contents of the report are not meant to be revealed, and there has been some criticism that the scope of the investigation has not been wide enough. Throughout the investigation senior Democrats have called for Mr Kavanaugh to take a lie detector test. One of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, has already done so. But how accurate are these tests? And how do they work? Let's start with the basics... What is a polygraph test? In short, polygraph t...

Polygraph test for accused in IAC spare parts theft case - The Hindu Polygraph test for accused in IAC spare parts theft case - The Hindu Posted: 15 Jul 2020 10:52 AM PDT The two accused in the theft of hardware components of the Indigenous Aircraft Carrier being built at the Cochin Shipyard Ltd will be subjected to the polygraph test, also known as lie detector test. The NIA Special Court on Wednesday permitted the tests to be conducted on them after accepting the request of the National Investigation Agency and the two accused. The two accused who were picked up by the investigation agency volunteered for the tests to be done on them to "prove their innocence" in the case. The Supreme Court had laid down that the well-informed consent of the accused was a prerequisite for tests such as polygraph and narco-analysis. After the accused willingly submit themselves for such tests, the judicial officer trying the case shall accord ...

City Council Sticks With Police Budget As Is - The Chattanoogan City Council Sticks With Police Budget As Is - The Chattanoogan Posted: 21 Jul 2020 03:08 PM PDT The Chattanooga City Council declined to put a suggested police budget reform onto the agenda during Tuesday's strategic planning meeting. Maura Sullivan, city CEO, started by detailing the process by which the budget is created, and then various council members gave their opinions on the budget. Various parties have asked for a portion of the $70 million budget to be divested into other areas. Specific proposals were submitted by local Democratic Socialists, and these were turned aside by the council. "That is a contractual agreement we made to the men and women of the CPD to provide them with $70 million to do their jobs," said Chairman Chip Henderson. "I think that at this point to take away any amount demonstrates a lack of understanding of our role as legisl...

Domestic abuse: Lie-detector tests planned for offenders - BBC News Domestic abuse: Lie-detector tests planned for offenders - BBC News Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:00 AM PST Image copyright Science Photo Library Domestic violence offenders in England and Wales could face compulsory lie-detector tests when released from prison under proposed new laws. Those deemed at high risk of re-offending will be given regular polygraph tests to find out if they have breached release conditions. The long-awaited Domestic Violence Bill will also specify that controlling a victim's finances can count as abuse. Alleged abusers will also be banned from cross-examining victims in court. Lie-detector tests - which work by measuring changes in heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and sweat - are not 100% accurate. But the Home Office said it was already using the tests to monitor high-risk sex offenders and had found them to be 89% accurate . ...
