Abstract

Cognitive abilities of human expertise modeled using computational methods offer several new possibilities for the forensic sciences. They include three areas: providing tools for use by the forensic examiner, establishing a scientific basis for the expertise, and providing an alternate opinion on a case. This paper gives a brief overview of computational forensics with a focus on those disciplines that involve pattern evidence.
