Abstract

The paper describes the application of a suite of innovative information processing and analytic support tools developed at The MITRE Corporation, in some cases as extensions of commercial tools, to the problem of discovery of illegal chemical proliferation activities from open (i.e. unclassified) sources. These include tools for multimedia information extraction and visualization (BNN), machine translation (WebMT), multidocument summarization (WebSumm), group knowledge management (KEAN), expertise discovery (PeopleFinder), and multiparty collaboration (J-CVW). We consider additional, identified and unfulfilled requirements that suggest future research directions such as data and knowledge mining, intelligent human computer interaction, and semantic collaboration
