Web-based Deception Detection

This project investigates how people behave when they deceive during Web-based communication and how they are being detected.

As Web-based communication pervades into our daily life, online deception becomes an emerging and challenging issue. During Web-based communication, the amount of information that is available for the detection of deception is greatly reduced in comparison with that in traditional face-to-face communication. For example, facial expressions, voice pitch and tone, body gestures are missing in Web-based communication. Therefore, it is a challenging task to detect deception in Web-based communication. This research has significant implications to improving the quality of online communication.

The current project is an extension of an ongoing research. The student on this project will participate in system development and testing as well as data collection and analysis.
