Abstract :
Semantic network analysis offers a computational method for discovery, pattern matching, and reasoning with large amounts of unstructured, semi-structured and structured information. The Threat Anticipation Platform replaces more cumbersome and computationally complex forms of semantic inference with metrics on graph representations of labeled, directed semantic networked data to identify the degree of evidence within multiple data sources for specified hypotheses about potential events.
