Machine learning in forensic applications

摘要

On 3 November 1984 in Milwaukee, a passerby discovered the body of a woman who had been raped, stabbed and beaten to death. Eight bite marks were found on the victim's body, which a forensic odontologist said must have been made by someone with a missing front tooth. While canvassing the neighbourhood, police realised that a local man, Robert Lee Stinson, matched this description. They charged him with murder.
