Abstract

We demonstrate CISpaces.org, a tool to support situational understanding in intelligence analysis that complements but not replaces human expertise, for the first time applied to a judicial context. The system combines argumentationbased reasoning and natural language generation to support the creation of analysis and summary reports, and to record the process of forming hypotheses from relationships among information.

Additional Information: Funding Information: This project was awarded funding through the Defence and Security Accelerator themed competition Revolutionise the human information relationship for defence under Contract DSTLX1000113927. This research was partially sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the U.K. Ministry of Defence under Agreement Number W911NF-16-3-0001. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, the U.S. Government, the U.K. Ministry of Defence or the U.K. Government. The U.S. and U.K. Governments are authorized to reproduce and distribute reprints for Government purposes notwithstanding any copyright notation hereon. Funding Information: CISpaces.org is the result of a collaboration with the US Army research Lab in the NIS ITA programme and with the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in both the NIS ITA programme and follow-on Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) programme. CISpaces.org is available for use by professional analysts in both the US (Army Research Laboratory) and the UK (Joint Forces Intelligence Group). The first version of CISpaces [15] was one of three key research highlights in the NIS ITA programme [13]. The refinement of the CISpaces software to take it to Technology Readiness Level 4 (characterised as “validation in a laboratory environment”) was informed by evaluation conducted with professional analysts in the US and the UK as part of the NIS ITA programme, and enabled by the DASA programme. Development work funded by the DASA programme led to CISpaces being made available as an open-source project under a permissive (MIT) licence: https://github.com/CISpaces.
