AI/ML for Computer Forensics

Child trafficking is an important and devastating issue in several countries around the world, especially in the United Kingdom. Child predators often take pictures of their abuse victims, and many of these victims are groomed and abused while in their school uniforms. The Global Emancipation Network, also known as GEN, has taken the initiative to fight this issue by developing software that can identify school uniforms in images, classify the UK schools to which the uniforms belong to, and aid forensic examiners in investigations.
