Unraveling the Network: Enhancing Analysis for Modern Threats

Overview

MITRE's sponsors need to assess and monitor threats to the nation. Greater global complexity combined with more available information, less confidence in its trustworthiness, and less time to deal with it, presents an enormous challenge. Threats come from across the world in the form of nation states, tribal and religious groups, and individuals. Agencies charged with analysis have experienced both rapid staff growth and loss of experienced personnel, while having to work in new areas with unfamiliar languages and cultures, as well as savvy adversaries with knowledge of our intelligence collection approaches. MITRE is working within this context to unravel the technological, economic, and political intentions of nations, groups, and actors.

Examples of projects related to this challenge area include:

• Closing the Semantic Gap
• Content Extraction and Duplicate Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR)
• Embedded Machine Translation for Operations and Intelligence Applications
• Live Hotspotting of VoIP
• Machine Translation for Foreign Language Science and Technology Analysis
• Modeling Phase Change Behavior
• Scientometric Methods and Analysis of Scientific Literature for Science and Technical Intelligence
• Social Network Services for Intelligence Community Professionals
• Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction and Reasoning from Natural Language
• Understanding (Arabic) Nonverbal Behavior
