ASMF: Ambient social media forensics chain of custody with an intelligent digital investigation process using federated learning

Ambient Intelligence is a concept that relates to a new paradigm of pervasive computing and has the objective of automating responses from the system to humans without any human intervention. In social media forensics, gathering, analyzing, storing, and validating relevant evidence for investigation...
