N2 - Algorithms for Automating Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
presents information on the gathering of information and extraction of
actionable intelligence from openly available sources, including news
broadcasts, public repositories, and more recently, social media. As
OSINT has applications in crime fighting, state-based intelligence, and
social research, this book provides recent advances in text mining, web
crawling, and other algorithms that have led to advances in methods that
can largely automate this process. The book is beneficial to
both practitioners and academic researchers, with discussions of the
latest advances in applications, a coherent set of methods and processes
for automating OSINT, and interdisciplinary perspectives on the key
problems identified within each discipline. Drawing upon years of
practical experience and using numerous examples, editors Robert
Layton, Paul Watters, and a distinguished list of contributors discuss
Evidence Accumulation Strategies for OSINT, Named Entity Resolution in
Social Media, Analyzing Social Media Campaigns for Group Size
Estimation, Surveys and qualitative techniques in OSINT, and Geospatial
reasoning of open data.
