Forensics can be defined as a study of crime via the use of scientific methods and techniques. Around the globe, governments invest a large amount of money in developing forensics techniques to prove criminal activities and track criminals effectively. It is now becoming a practice to involve artificial intelligence in supporting the forensic application. It involves a smart and intelligent examination of massive volumes of very complicated data. As a result, AI is becoming an excellent solution for addressing many of the complicated issues that now exist in forensics. For example, AI proves more effective in skeleton-based human identification compared to the traditional skull/skeleton superimposition method. AI can be used to pool meta-data generated from multiple sources connected to forensic science and do a meta-analysis on it to simplify complex data. AI finds patterns and uses them to identify/recognize/predict something that is required in crime tracking or criminal/victim recognition. Complex analytics and probabilistic reasoning are used to recognize patterns. Among the most crucial things to forensic science is the identification of specific sorts of patterns in enormous amounts of data. This could include image pattern recognition, in which the program attempts to distinguish between distinct components of an image or a person. Other types of pattern recognition, such as finding patterns in text, may also exist. Artificial intelligence aids in the more accurate recognition of such patterns in complex data. This chapter introduces the reader to several aspects of artificial intelligence that can be used in forensics. 2024 selection and editorial matter, S. Vijayalakshmi, P.

AI-Based Feature Extraction Approaches for Dual Modalities of Autism Spectrum Disorder Neuroimages
High-dimensional data, lower detection accuracy, susceptibility to manual errors, and the requirement of clinical experts are some drawbacks of conventional classification models available for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) detection. To address these challenges and explore the affiliated information from advanced imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in structural MRI (sMRI) and resting state-functional MRI (rs-fMRI), the study applied an Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach. In this context, AI is used to automate the feature extraction process, which is crucial in the interpretation of medical images for diagnosis. The work aims to apply AI-based techniques to extract the features and identify the impact of each feature in the Autism diagnosis. The morphometric features were extracted using sMRI images and rs-fMRI scans were employed to fetch functional connectivity features. Surface-based, region-based, and seed-based analyses are performed for the whole brain, followed by feature selection techniques such as Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) with correlation, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and graph theory are implemented to extract and distinguish features. The effectiveness of the extracted features was measured as classification accuracy. Support Vector Machine (SVM) with RFE is the best classification model, with 88.67% accuracy for high-dimensional data. SVM is a supervised learning model that outperforms other classification models due to its capability to handle high-dimensional data with a larger feature set. Medical imaging modalities provide detailed insights and visual differences related to various cognitive conditions that must be recognized accurately for efficient diagnosis. The study presented an empirical analysis of various Feature extraction approaches and the significance of the extracted features in high-dimensional data scenarios for Autism classification. 2024 Meenakshi Malviya Chandra J and Nagendra N.
