Machine learning can detect patterns—but can it detect deception?

A newly published replication of a landmark study on linguistic cues in 911 homicide calls suggests the answer is "no".... at least, not reliably.

Does the Considering Offender Probability in Statements (COPS) Scale allow law enforcement to distinguish between guilty and innocent people placing 911 homicide calls?

Research from the FBI BAU and Villanova University suggests it does not.

Read a summary from the authors: bit.ly/3DgM3dL

Picture of a hand holding a phone and dialing 911. Below, text reads "Studies from the FBI and Villanova University find that the Considering Offender Probability Statements (COPS) Scale fails to reliably discriminate between guilty and innocent 911 callers".

🔒Our latest study regards "the effect of APC waivers on the participation of Ukrainian researchers in fully Gold OA journals".

The reviewers call it "well-developed", "timely" & "important" while questioning the focus on only 5 publishers.

Academic publishing is a multibillion-dollar industry. It’s not always good for science

Some academic publishers have been accused by scientists of being “too greedy” and prioritising profit over research integrity.

RFK relies on conflicts of interest to discredit research finding vaccines are safe. I guess the decades of metascience and watchdog work on conflicts of interest are to blame for his weaponisation of this concept?
www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Democrats challenged RFK Jr. on vaccines. Fireworks ensued.

The health secretary resurfaced anti-vaccine claims at a House hearing, alleging collusion by pharma companies, public health experts and politicians to mask the truth.

Happy to have a chat with you over email or Zoom, but I don't think you're correct here (I study Daubert and other reliability standards). Generally, I think you are mixing up admissibility and proof. And you might be surprised that courts haven't been very interested in the 'crisis' narrative:

Complementing other communications about the "Restoring Gold Standard Science" Executive Order, here is a statement from COS. Also, see the links to stories from previous attempts to co-opt open science for policies that undermine science and evidence-based policymaking.

I guess because he doesn't know. I don't know either, but my prior is that they are mostly very solid.

Jason Chin @jasonchin.bsky.social · May 27

Why do you have to assume the worst of people you disagree with? I'm biased as well, but unless I'm completely disengaged from reality, there seems to be a very plausible interpretation of his statement in which he's just trying to be epistemically modest about what he knows about those fields.

there were not many, but there were some others, as well as random calls from charities. I can't remember the names, but could look it up. One operated out of George Mason Uni.

Jason Chin @jasonchin.bsky.social · May 27

Again, on my read, I've had exactly the same experience at multiple private funders.

Jason Chin @jasonchin.bsky.social · May 27

Yes, I've had the same thing happen to me. Sometimes no response, sometimes an e-mail as you describe, sometimes something very hopeful asking for more information and then no response when I send it. The public funders are at least more accountable, but still lots of wasted time. Agreed - it's bad.
