Abstract

A recent development in deception detection research is the usage of computer vision systems. This work analyzes how these systems work and what the in uence of di erent input representations is. Three models are tested, using three distinct abstractions of the same videos from the MU3D dataset: a model based on the entire image, a face-based model and a model based on key face regions. Even though the models are successfully learning, they do not seem to be able to recognize adequate patterns for a performance signi cantly better than chance. There are no known prior machine learning applications based on the MU3D dataset. It is possible that there are not enough deception-related signals in this dataset. Other conclusions are that the model used is inadequate for this speci c task, or that all-or-nothing (binary) deception detection itself is an unfeasible task. An analysis of di erent models and/or on di erent datasets is required to assert these suspicions.
