About

Interested in minds and machines.

2017
FLANN for keystroke biometrics

This was my MSc thesis, where we applied a new classifier for keystroke dynamics data from signal processing literature. Specifically, it was a Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) with a trigonometric expansion, used as a multi-class classifier, that performed much better than traditional classifiers.
