Free public lecture by Professor Peter Hancock who will look back over his 30 years of research into face recognition by humans and computers.
He will explain the critical difference between our usually excellent familiar face recognition and our typically poor ability with unfamiliar faces and some of the psychology thought to underlie it.
Why do some people struggle to recognise their own children while others recognise someone they saw once, years before?
He will explain the development of EvoFIT, a computer system that helps witnesses to a crime create a picture of the perpetrator. He will then talk about computer face recognition, which is now far more accurate than typical people. How does it work and how does it fail? What might be the consequences? Given that it does still make mistakes, what safeguards should we implement? Ultimately, it should be for all of us to decide.
Location: Logie Lecture Theatre, University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA
