| Challenge: | despite the importance and potential impact of detecting concealed information, research on detecting it has been scarce. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-task learning framework that automatically detects concealed information from text and speech using acoustic-prosodic, linguistic, and individual feature sets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms human performance by 15% in acoustic, linguistic, and individual features. |
