CRIME PATTERN RECOGNITION IN NATURAL LANGUAGE.
Abstract
Discusses the experimental development of a computer program to process crime information in natural English language. This project has had the joint participation of the Los Angeles Police Department and the System Development Corporation. The object of the experiment is to determine the feasibility of utilizing natural processing techniques to assist patrol officers and detectives in crime pattern recognition. By crime pattern recognition is meant a wide range of crime analysis applications that include modus operandi, vehicles or weapons used, physical descriptions, speech patterns, etc., that can be of benefit in crime pattern recognition. Reports that it has been demonstrated that the information loss associated with the use of precoding techniques is all but eliminated in natural language inquiry. The interaction of the user with the machine system is also greatly enhanced by the use of natural language. (Author)
