EXPLORATION OF TECHNIQUES FOR SEMI-AUTOMATED INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY GENERATION

THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE AN ANALYSIS OF THE TECHNICAL ISSUES RELATED TO AUTOMATED INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY GENERATION. THIS ANALYSIS WILL REFINE AN APPROACH TO: (1) USER INTERACTION WITH THE SEMI-AUTOMATED INTSUM DEVELOPER, (2) USE OF DYNAMIC MESSAGE DATA FROM EXISTING TACTICAL DATA SYSTEMS, (3) MATCHING POTENTIAL TACTICS WITH THE FRIENDLY MISSION AND PERCEIVED SITUATION. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A METHOD CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING MULTIPLE FORMATS WILL BE DEMONSTRATED IN A LABORATORY USING COMPUTER SIMULATION DURING PHASE II. THE BASIC TECHNIQUE OF USING OBJECT-BASED REPRESENTATION FOR THE ENEMY ACTIVITY INDICATORS, INTERFACING TO DYNAMIC DATA, AND SUMMARIZING REPORTED INFORMATION MAY HAVE COMMERCIAL USES AS WELL AS APPLICATION IN DEFENSE-RELATED INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT SYSTEMS. THE RESULTING APPROACH TO KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION, PARSING AND CORRELATING REPORTS PROPOSED CAN PROVIDE A NEEDED CAPABILITY IN BUSINESS TREND PREDICTION AS WELL.
