Watson Research Center

  9. Benefits of Student Projects • Stellar real-world learning experience for students • Customers receive valuable systems • Promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and Pace and local community involvement • Furthers student and faculty research • Enhances relationships between the university and local technology companies • Increases national recognition of the university

  10. Examples of Security-Related Research Studies • Forgery Detection • Interactive Visual System • Speaker Individuality

  11. Forgery Detection: Key Idea • Forensic literature indicates that successful forgers often forge handwriting shape and size by carefully copying or tracing the authentic handwriting • Exploit computing technology to investigate this and possibly to develop techniques to aid forensic document examiners

  12. Forgery Detection: Hypotheses • Good forgeries – those that retain the shape and size of authentic writing – tend to be written more slowly (carefully) than authentic writing • Good forgeries are likely to be wrinklier (less smooth) than authentic handwriting

  13. Forgery Detection: Methodology • Sample collection: online, scan to get offline • Feature extraction: Speed, Wrinkliness • Statistical analysis

  14. (b) (a) (a) Number of in the boundary = 69 (b) Number of in the boundary = 32 (b) Number of in the boundary = 32

  15. Fractal Measure of Wrinkliness

  16. Forgery Detection: Experiment • 10 subjects, each wrote • 3 authentic handwriting samples • 3 forgeries of each of the other 9 subjects • 30 authentic and 270 forged samples • Significance results (T-test) • Forgeries are written slower: p = 5.90E-09 • Forgeries are wrinklier: p = 0.0205

  17. IVS is a technology, not just a flower identification application We also have preliminary results on flag recognition, and we plan to explore the applications of sign, face, and skin-lesion recognition • This presentation will probably involve audience discussion, which will create action items. Use PowerPoint to keep track of these action items during your presentation • In Slide Show, click on the right mouse button • Select “Meeting Minder” • Select the “Action Items” tab • Type in action items as they come up • Click OK to dismiss this box • This will automatically create an Action Item slide at the end of your presentation with your points entered. Interactive Visual System (IVS)

  18. IVS Motivation • Image recognition can be a difficult problem • Modern AI and pattern recognition techniques try to automate the process – that is, they do not include the human in the equation • Humans and computers have different strengths • Computers excel at large memory and computation • Humans excel at segmentation • We propose combining human and computer to increase the speed and accuracy of recognition

  19. IVS Flower User Interface • Load Flower Image • Select Features • Identify • Previous 3 Hits • Next 3 Hits • Store New Flower • Auto Feature Extract • List Extracted Features

  20. IVS Flower Shape Model

  21. IVS: Flag Recognition • We have extended the Interactive Visual System to other applications, and have preliminary results on flag recognition • Demonstration by Dr. Sung Cha

  22. IVS: NSF Proposal Applications • Foreign Sign Recognition • Shape model: rectangle • Face Recognition • Shape model: 3D face template • Skin Lesion Recognition • Shape model?

  23. Speaker Individuality • Hypothesis: a person’s voice is unique and therefore we can verify the identity of an individual from his/her voice samples • Methodology: use a statistically inferable dichotomy (verification) model that Dr. Cha has used to show handwriting individuality

  24. Speaker Individuality: Methodology • Segment common portion of utterance: “My name is” • Compute spectral data: output from 13 filters every 10 msec • Extract fixed number of features per utterance from the spectral data • Use the dichotomy (verification) model to obtain experimental results

  25. Speaker Individuality: Segmentation

  26. “My name is” from Two Speakers

  27. Neural Network Dichotomy Model Feature Extrac- tion Distance compu- tation Same/ Different

  28. Speaker Individuality: Experiments • 10 samples from each of 10 speakers • 450 intra-speaker distances • 4500 inter-speaker distances • Train NN on a subset of the intra-speaker and inter-speaker distances • Test on different subsets • 94 percent accuracy • 98 percent with bad samples removed

  29. Security-Related Research Publications • http://csis.pace.edu/csis/cgi-front/sec/security.pl?cat=11

  30. Security Related Funding Proposals • NSF 01-100, CISE-HCI • Interactive Visual Processing • Collaboration with RPI • Submitted January 8, 2004 • NSF 03-602 Computer Vision • Individuality Studies (fundamental studies for biometric authentication) • Submitted December 19, 2003
