Estimation of sexual dimorphism of adult human mandibles of South Indian origin using non-metric parameters and machine learning classification algorithms.

Scientific reports
The mandible is one of the most reliable in sex determination in forensic anthropology. The shape of the mandible provides valuable information regarding the male and female distinctions. Machine learning algorithms are widely used for various applic...

Comparison among artificial intelligence-based age estimation from morphological analysis of the pubic symphysis versus experienced and novice practitioners using a new atlas for component labeling.

International journal of legal medicine
Traditional age estimation methods based on macroscopic observation has been criticized for being excessively dependent on the observer's experience. The aim of this technical note is to propose a new atlas to assist the forensic practitioner in labe...

Skull CT metadata for automatic bone age assessment by using three-dimensional deep learning framework.

International journal of legal medicine
Bone age assessment (BAA) means challenging tasks in forensic science especially in some extreme situations like only skulls found. This study aimed to develop an accurate three-dimensional deep learning (DL) framework at skull CT metadata for BAA an...

Generating accurate sex estimation from hand X-ray images using AI deep-learning techniques: A study of limited bone regions.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)
Hand bone structure provides valuable features for sex estimation. This research introduces a novel approach using Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to classify sex from hand X-ray images, focusing on th...

Sexual dimorphism of the humerus bones in a French sample: comparison of several statistical models including machine learning models.

International journal of legal medicine
Sex estimation is an important part of skeletal analysis and forensic identification. Traditionally pelvic traits are utilized for accurate sex estimation. However, the long bones, especially humerus, have been proved to be as effective for determine...

Developing a fully applicable machine learning (ML) based sex classification model using linear cranial dimensions.

Scientific reports
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications have elevated accomplishments in various scientific fields, primarily those that benefit the economy and society. Contemporary threats, such as armed conflicts, na...

Deep learning versus human assessors: forensic sex estimation from three-dimensional computed tomography scans.

Scientific reports
Cranial sex estimation often relies on visual assessments made by a forensic anthropologist following published standards. However, these methods are prone to human bias and may be less accurate when applied to populations other than those for which ...

Human identification via digital palatal scans: a machine learning validation pilot study.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: This study aims to validate a machine learning algorithm previously developed in a training population on a different randomly chosen population (i.e., test set). The discrimination potential of the palatal intraoral scan-based geometric ...

Sex estimation from patellar measurements in a contemporary Italian population: a machine learning approach.

International journal of legal medicine
Biological sex estimation in forensic anthropology is a crucial topic, and the patella has shown promise in this regard due to its sexual dimorphism. This study uses 12 machine learning models for sex estimation based on three patellar measurements (...

Application of machine-learning methods in age-at-death estimation from 3D surface scans of the adult acetabulum.

Forensic science international
OBJECTIVE: Age-at-death estimation is usually done manually by experts. As such, manual estimation is subjective and greatly depends on the past experience and proficiency of the expert. This becomes even more critical if experts need to evaluate ind...
