Supporting insight-based information exploration in intelligence analysis

Abstract: EXPLORATION IN INTELLIGENCE ANALYSISe are interested in the role of exploratory search in the intelligence analysis process, especially its role in sensemaking: how can exploring a set of information help an analyst to synthesize, understand, and present a coherent explanation of what it tells us about the world?The process of exploratory search can help an analyst develop a story implied by relationships among discovered information items. One of the key challenges in supporting this process is the representa… Show more

“…Intelligence analysis: Research work into software tools for intelligence analysis can be grouped into model-guided systems [12][13][14], multi-agent systems [15], graph-based analytic tools [16][17][18][19], and collaborative systems [5,20,21]. Our work falls in the category of graph-based analytic tools.…”

“…NameSieve is different from all these tools in its NE-based approach to visualize and explore a set of documents. While the use of NEs in intelligence analysis has been explored by a few other projects (Bier, Card, & Bodnar, 2008;Gersh, Lewis, Montemayor, Piatko, & Turner, 2006), these projects use NEs for sense-making, while NameSieve uses it for information foraging.…”

“…The search process itself not just the search results give the necessary insight. Thus, intelligence analysis systems should support capturing and visually representing analysts' iterative query processes and insights help them collect and compare information more effectively, as well as record and share the products of their analytic insights [5].…”
