FACT CORRELATION FOR INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS. VOLUME 1. APPLIED RESEARCH PLAN
Abstract
This report presents an analysis of the requirements for a Fact Correlation System--a specialized information storage and retrieval system oriented to the problem of correlating facts for intelligence analysis. Two aspects of the problem were analyzed: the equipment requirements necessary to implement a highly automated system, and the processing requirements necessary to transmute isolated items of information into an integral whole. The report includes a broad review and survey of existing processing techniques, primarily in the fields of linguistic analysis and adaptive learning, and a survey of both existing and experimental data processing equipment. The conclusion derived from this study is that at least ten years will be needed to develop a fully automated system, although less sophisticated functions may be available within three years.
