Comparative Analysis of a Lie Detector using Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, and Random Forest Algorithm with Speech to Text Conversion
Abstract: Lie detection, additionally known as deception detection, uses questioning techniques to determine truth and falsehood in response. Physiological responses like vital sign, blood pressure, heartbeat, and respiratory rate are used to discriminate between truth and lie. Once we lie, our blood pressure goes up, our heart beats quicker, we have a tendency to breathe faster (and our breathing slows once the lie has been told), and changes occur in our …
