Improving Methods Using Machine Learning and Databases in Forensic Anthropology
Part I: GeoFOR is a free web-based collaborative forensic taphonomic application and database that utilizes geospatial technology and machine learning to deliver data-driven postmortem interval estimations to better facilitate identification and reconstruct events around the time of death. This presentation describes the geoFOR application and its potential for advancing the field of forensic science.
Part II: The Forensic Anthropology Skeletal Trauma (FAST) database is a publicly available resource, which provides trauma analysis data for education, training, and case comparison applications. This presentation provides an introduction and overview of the FAST database.
