Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automatic lie detection methods fail to accurately detect lies by neglecting the influence of previous lie states and interactive information between speakers during interrogations, leading to inaccurate results.

Innovation Solution

An automatic lie detection method that segments video, audio, and text into short-term features, aggregates them chronologically, integrates these features using a multi-modal attention strategy, and inputs them into a graph neural network with speaker information to predict lie levels, considering sequential and interactive information.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If only current word facial expressions and speeches are analyzed, then the analysis process is simple, but the detection accuracy is low due to neglecting previous lie states and interactive information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidanalysis process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the analysis process into multiple time periods, extracting short-term features for each period and then aggregating them chronologically to form long-term features. This segmentation allows the system to consider temporal sequences and interactive information while maintaining manageable processing stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension by aggregating short-term features chronologically into long-term features, and another dimension by integrating multi-modal features (video, audio, text) through attention mechanisms. This dimensional expansion enables comprehensive analysis of previous lie states and interactive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If multi-modal features with interactive and sequential information are integrated, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction for each modality (video, audio, text) separately at the short-term level, organizing features by time periods before aggregation. This preliminary organization reduces computational complexity by preparing data in advance for the more intensive aggregation and integration operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses attention mechanisms as intermediaries to selectively weight and integrate multi-modal features. The attention mechanism efficiently combines video, audio, and text features by focusing on the most relevant information, reducing the computational burden of processing all features equally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
