Europe's new lie detector for travelers is pseudoscience
Date: 2019-10-26 07:05 pm (UTC)75% accuracy on 32 people? Was one of them an internationally wanted terrorist? Or someone desperately trying to pass an interview to save their life? Or not? I don't know if they had bigger studies as well? Or not? It sounds like it's envisaged as some sort of first-pass, on people who otherwise might be able to just come straight through. But I assume, in practice, it's essentially random, but gives a good excuse to choose between "sorry, nothing I can do, computer's orders" and "well, obviously something went wrong, go straight through" depending on a human's discretion :(
