Research topic: Using artificial intelligence (AI) to understand and improve eyewitness performance
My research focuses on understanding and improving human memory by enhancing police lineup procedures with AI. I will conduct studies to explore ways to create fairer lineups that reduce biases and misidentifications common in traditional methods. To support this, I’m deveoping a Python module called pyWitnessAI, which can handle tasks like generating lineups using various AI-related strategies. The work aims to make a more controllable and unbiased system, promoting open and transparent science, ultimately benefiting individuals and our society.
