EuroCrime is glad to inform that the third Newsletter of the LASIE Project has been published. LASIE Project (Large Scale Information Exploitation of Forensic Data – www.lasie-project.eu) received funding from the European Seventh Framework Programme, the Project started on the 1st May 2014 and it lasts for 42 months. EuroCrime’s experts are members of the LASIE Advisory Board.
The contents of the Newsletter are the following:
– Summary of the first version of the LASIE Forensic Data Processing Modules as one of the milestones reached in the project during 2015. These tools support automated processing of large amounts of data and they consist of advanced media analysis tools that extract relevant information for different types of content (text, audio, images, video, social and biometric data, etc.).
– Summery of the Results of the first LASIE Workshop “LASIE: Supporting Forensic Analysts in Digital Evidence Retrieval and Analysis” held in London in July 2015, which EuroCrime participated to. Around 30 representatives of law enforcement authorities, expert research institutes, forensic scientists, ethical experts and technology experts attended the event from several EU countries (Spain, UK, Italy, Portugal, Estonia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Greece and Lithuania). Seven relevant EU projects, active in the security field, were also represented in the audience.
