About the topic:

In this talk, we will discuss a panoramic view of digital forensics in the last 10 years and how it needed to evolve from basic computer vision and simple natural language processing techniques to powerful AI-driven methods to deal with the signs of the new age. We will discuss tampering detection and its evolution, fact-checking, and authorship analysis as well as recent advances in self-supervised learning to deal with large-scale search in some forensics problems.
