Collaboration and Analyst System Effectiveness (CASE) Connect

Abstract

The goal was to develop effective computer-based support for collaborative intelligence analysis, with a particular focus on facilitating tacit collaboration. Our approach can be characterized as a "Develop/Understand/Improve" cycle, where the "Understand" phase is the foundation of our work. We used statistical techniques, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation & Relational Topic Models-to uncover "hidden" (latent) patterns and relationships that can be exploited to assess the analytic value of information objects and analyst-to-analyst connections. Two conceptual themes that are within the context of our overall "Develop/Understand/ Improve" cycle: "Blending the Personal and the Collective" and "Infer, Rather than Enforce, Structure", drive and are driven by our technology developments and the experimentation we undertake with our technology.
