Machine Learning for Forensic Practitioners Short Course
Machine Learning for Forensic Practitioners Short Course

This three-part short course empowers practitioners to critically evlauate and effectively utilize machine learning tools in their forensic analyses.
Learning Algorithms for Evaluating Forensic Glass Evidence
Learning Algorithms for Evaluating Forensic Glass Evidence

Glass evidence may arise when a glass object is broken during the commission of a crime. Small fragments can transfer to the perpetrator.
