Project Summary

In a NSF-funded project with Julia Hirschberg and colleagues at Columbia University and University of Colorado, we are investigating properties of deceptive speech and automatic methods of distinguishing deceptive from non-deceptive speech. For this work we collected and annotated a large corpus of deceptive and non-deceptive speech, the CSC Deception Corpus. We have also looked at the role of pausing in deception, and speaker personality as a factor in accuracy of human judgments of deception.
