Abstract

This paper presents experiments in building a classifier for the automatic detection of deceit. Using a dataset of deceptive videos, we run several comparative evaluations focusing on the verbal component of these videos, with the goal of understanding the difference in deceit detection when using manual versus automatic transcriptions, as well as the difference between spoken and written lies. We show that using only the linguistic component of the deceptive videos, we can detect deception with accuracies in the range of 52-73%.
