Research abstract

To expedite the intelligence collection process, analysts reuse previously collected data. Incorporating human-generated intelligence within the high-level fusion process enables the integration of hard and soft information to associate disparate pieces of information for improved situational awareness. To manage the uncertainty in soft information, we developed a process for characterizing the sources of error and bias specific to human-generated intelligence and assessing the quality of this data when used for high-level fusion and situation assessment. Relating information extracted from text to intelligence requirements and pattern matching on situational graphs enables the principled reuse of information for alternative purposes.
