Description
In the age of ‘Big Data’, the potential value of open-source information for international security-related purposes is widely recognised. Of late, progress in this space has increasingly become associated with software that can expand our ability to gather, filter, interrelate and manipulate data through automated processes. The trend towards automation is both innovative and necessary. Yet for the foreseeable future at least, the effort to harness open source information for safeguards purposes will remain highly dependent on the nuanced judgement and expertise of human analysts. This paper will consider, at a conceptual level, the design of information analysis systems that exploit the strengths, and mitigate the weaknesses of both human analysts and software solutions, obtaining the best contribution from both.
