Creating artificial intelligence (AI) that can help police determine which online threats to children require investigative priority is incredibly difficult, according to #PurduePolytechnic's Julia Rayz and Kathryn Seigfried-Spellar.

Chat Analysis Triage Tool uses AI to catch sex offenders
Kathryn Seigfried-Spellar, assistant professor of computer and information technology, and Julia Rayz, associate professor of computer and information technology, have developed the Chat Analysis Triage Tool (CATT), a program that uses natural language processing techniques to analyze conversations between minors and child predators.
Holistic Safety & Security Research Impact Area Meeting
Work with stakeholders across public and private sectors to solve challenges in cybersecurity and critical infrastructure that affect global economies, security and health. We aim to enable law enforcement agencies to provide faster, more efficient incident response, to lower the number of cyberattacks and lessen their impact to victims, and to enact evidence-based policies that contribute to safety and security.

Getting artificial intelligence to recognize humor is no laughing matter
Teaching computers to understand jokes and humor is a funny business, according to Julia Rayz, associate professor of computer and information technology. Rayz is trying to help computers understand and interact with people as naturally as people interact with each other.
Two student teams score wins in Airport Cooperative Research Program design competition
Airport runways become unpredictable with winter precipitation. Mary Johnson, associate professor of aviation and transportation technology, worked with a student team to propose the adaptation of remote sensing technologies used for glaciers and ski resorts to measure snow and ice. Over 10 years, this technology could save $500,000 at Purdue’s airport.
CIT faculty aim to make big data a small issue for law enforcement
Law enforcement agencies have been relying on forensics tools not well suited to today’s digital world. To provide a modern, cost-effective solution, a research team led by Kathryn Seigfried-Spellar, assistant professor of computer and information technology, is building File Toolkit for Selective Analysis & Reconstruction (File TSAR) for Large Scale Computer Networks.
“Dark patterns” in user experience design manipulates consumers, says CGT research
The National Science Foundation has awarded research grants to Colin Gray, assistant professor of computer graphics technology, to study “dark patterns,” the name given to user experience (UX) design practices in which the designer uses knowledge of human behavior and the desires of end users to intentionally manipulate them into actions not in their best interest.
RICE technologies extend first responders' reach
Eric Matson, associate professor of computer and information technology, collaborates with a research team to develop drones that are capable of gauging the threat of an unknown gaseous plume. This technology will be able to measure densities, detect the plume gases, and map the shape and location of the plume, then send information to first responders.
