Deception cues are most noticeable when the deceiver is highly motivated to convince the victim [ 1, 15, 120, 122]. These are circumstances in which the deceiver foresees undesirable consequences. Data Availability: All Jupyter Lab Notebooks and BiblioAlly database files are available on the GitHub repository accessible at https://github.com/gambit4348/deception-detection-review-2022. Facial expressions, micro-expressions, micro-gestures, and affect were analyzed as features in 32 (39.5%) out of the 81 selected papers, with a myriad of performance levels. The highest one reports 0.97 as accuracy [ 41, 44]. In general, Bimodal and Multimodal approaches show better results than Monomodal ones, a synergy between visual and non-visual cues. These findings demonstrate the importance of visual cues for deception detection. The behavioral and physiological changes experienced by the deceiver work as deception cues [ 1, 2, 16]. An observer that notices these cues may be enabled to detect an attempt of deception. Such behavioral changes are what human lie detectors observe to make their judgment. In years past, activists with suspicions about undercover policing were accused of paranoia. But fears turn out to have been justified. The public inquiry has disclosed that, in 1975, MI5 asked the police to spy on children involved in “subversive activity in schools”. Groups spied on included School Kids Against the Nazis, while the Socialist Workers party was under near-constant surveillance from 1970 to 2007. These were soft targets. By contrast, a decision was taken not to deploy undercover officers in fascist groups because they were too violent. (The SDS first sent an officer to infiltrate the far right in the 1980s.)

Vocal studies based on cognitive load use no more than silence gaps as predictor. Visual studies rely on special glasses to acquire images from the eyes to measure displacements of pupils. Mohri M, Rostamizadeh A, Talwalkar A. Foundations of Machine learning. London: The MIT Press; 2012. All the metadata was extracted directly from the selected corpus and no value was, by any means, inferred or interpreted. Sometimes, the total number of features was summed when the text didn’t present it, but all the primitive values were there. Such metadata describes the source of training data, training strategy, Machine Learning methods, dataset sizes, predictors exploited, cues complexity, modality cardinality, performance levels, and performance metrics. Mitting will hold further hearings to examine the covert infiltration of political groups in the decades since 1983. The next round of hearings is due to start next spring. Machine Learning algorithms are important because the area offers a wide range of possibilities for classification problems, not counting clustering and association rules, among others. Statistical details can be found in section 5 (Machine Learning analysis) in the S6 File (Statistical Analysis Notebook).Among the studies that use Linear SVM, 18 [ 39, 43, 44, 54, 56, 60, 62, 66, 67, 72, 74, 76, 85, 88, 91, 98, 99, 116] measured their performance by accuracy, ranging from 0.5516 to 1.0, with mean at 0.7752 ± 0.1121. Three studies [ 68, 79, 95] measured their performance by F1-score, which a range from 0.6012 to 0.7800 and mean at 0.7061 ± 0.0709. One study [ 52] reported the Area Under the Curve as 0.9034, and another [ 125] precision as 0.6680 and recall as 0.6590. Facial cues are important because the face is the primary vehicle to express someone’s emotional state. Also, they have been the focus of many studies, for current technology provides many tools for extracting facial features. Statistical details can be found in section 4.2 (Visual features analysis) of S6 File (Statistical Analysis Notebook).

Although there have been public apologies and financial settlements for some of the women, the book highlights how energetically the police continues to obstruct the women’s campaign to get answers. In a post #MeToo era, at a time when the Met is facing the fallout from its handling of Sarah Everard’s death, it seems remarkable that the force is resisting these women’s requests for disclosure about the details of their cases, by refusing to release the files on them.

The institutional misogyny and racism of the undercover units being investigated by the UCPI (set up in 2015) is part of a far bigger, national picture. With its investigations concentrating on two “elite” units in special branch, the UCPI’s focus is on the officers who spied on people involved in political protest and campaigning. But Mary’s case shifts the narrative. If it happened to Mary, it could happen to anyone. How many more women are there like her? Women who are manipulated, deceived, violated and then silenced by the authorities? Women like you, your sister, or your friend perhaps? There can be no clearer example of misogyny within the Met than the undercover police division’s treatment of these women, who were duped into relationships by officers who used them to construct convincing alter egos, to mask the surveillance work they were doing on small, mostly left-leaning and non-violent protest groups.

Ebury Spotlight has acquired Deep Deception, the "incredible" true story of five UK women who were manipulated into sexual relationships by a state-sponsored spy ring.When Gareth was first approached, she hadn’t realised that Helen, an old client of the firm, had also been deceived by a former lover, not Mark Kennedy but another ‘activist’ who had been involved in the group which distributed the McLibel leaflets. Gareth asked me if I would be interested in exploring any legal remedies and I jumped at the chance, fascinated and horrified by what was being exposed. This was indeed new territory for lawyers like myself specialising in holding police accountable. Police racism and brutality, unlawful arrest and malicious prosecution and more recently failures to protect and investigate violence, mainly against women, were the staple issues in police misconduct law. However, the idea that the state would invest hundreds of thousands of pounds into creating and maintaining a sophisticated operation that would place police officers deep undercover to gather intelligence on mainly left wing, environmental and social justice campaigns, was surely the stuff of fiction. Or at least tales from the secret police of a totalitarian state.
