	Multi-Camera Smartphone Image Identification Source camera identification uses small imperfections in a camera’s sensor array, called a camera fingerprint. We introduce the new CSAFE multi-camera smartphone image database and discuss how we adapt traditional camera identification methods to work on multi-camera smartphones. This webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, September 26, at 11:00 a.m. CT.
	Cognitive Bias in Forensic Analyses What does it mean when someone talks about human factors considerations or cognitive bias concerns in forensic science and what recommendations exist to address these concerns? This webinar will be followed by a group activity in which attendees will work through the simple implementation of a new framework to address concerns raised in the webinar. This 90-minute webinar/workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, October 24, at 11:00 a.m. CT.
	Intentional Language in Forensic DNA Testimony & Reporting This webinar is a practical training tool for criminal justice training partners and DNA analysts who intend to provide clear and accurate descriptions of DNA results in forensic testimony and reports. This event will include real-life examples of good reporting practices and poor testimony practices from transcripts with immediate tips on how to avoid making common mistakes. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Visual Diagnostics for Algorithmic Cartridge Case Comparisons Automatic cartridge case comparison algorithms can be used to measure the similarity between two fired cartridge cases. However, many of these algorithms are difficult to interpret, understand, and audit. We introduce a suite of visual diagnostic tools that are useful for understanding the behavior of automatic comparison algorithms and introduce a novel algorithm that returns a probability that two cartridge cases originated from the same firearm. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Creating a Forensic Database of Footwear Impressions from Retail Tread Photos Shoe tread impressions are one of the most common types of evidence left at crime scenes. The seminar will describe the development and evaluation of computer vision-based techniques for automatically matching class characteristics of crime scene evidence to a large-scale database of commercial footwear tread photos. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Judging Firearms Evidence While firearms comparison evidence is commonly used in criminal cases, we have seen a recent and growing resurgence of judicial skepticism of firearms comparison evidence. These recent rulings, responding to scientific critiques, followed, however, many decades of near-universal acceptance of the evidence. We analyze the path of judicial rulings in this important area of forensic evidence. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Tutorial on Likelihood Ratios with Applications in Digital Forensics To date, digital forensics research has largely focused on extracting and reconstructing information from devices and the cloud. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Ensemble SLRs for Forensic Evidence Comparison To strengthen the statistical foundations of forensic evidence interpretation, likelihood ratios and Bayes factors are advocated to quantify the value of evidence. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Blind Testing in Firearms Examination: Preliminary Results, Benefits, Limitations, and Future Directions Open proficiency tests created by external vendors are used to meet accreditation requirements and demonstrate examiner competence. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
	Extracting Case-Specific Data from Validation Studies The legal and scientific communities agree that any forensic method or algorithm should undergo validation testing before it is relied upon in the judicial system to make life-altering decisions. This webinar is on-demand and available immediately.
