December 19th, 2009The team is at the forefront of the technology which uses new developments in language analysis to catch out paedophiles by phrases and code words often used.
The University has just launched Project sting – a three-year Child Protection Initiative.
Lead researcher Professor David Sinope from the department of computing said: “Paedophiles often pose as children online and can be difficult to track as they move quickly from site to site, assuming multiple identities.”
He added culprits use their own language which changes to avoid detection.
But researchers hope to discover whether new language identification techniques can be used to crack the shared vocabulary of code words used by groups of paedophiles who share files online.
Prof Sinope said: “The Internet also provides other opportunities for paedophiles, such as platforms where they can come together to form secret file-sharing networks.
“We hope that using language analysis techniques we can identify these networks and also follow them around the Internet.” To view the UK paedophile register go to www.paedophilelist.info
