Knowledge Discovery in Intelligence Analysis
Intelligence analysts today are faced with many challenges, chief among them being the need to fuse disparate streams of data, as well as rapidly arrive at analytical decisions and quantitative predictions for use by policy makers. These problems are further exacerbated by the sheer volume of data …

Solving Intelligence Analysis Problems using Biclusters
Analysts must filter through an ever-growing amount of data to obtain information relevant to their investigations. Looking at every piece of information individually is in many cases not feasible; there is hence a growing need for new filtering tools and techniques to improve the analyst process …

Immersive Space to Think: the Role of 3D Immersive Space in Sensemaking of Textual Data
… study where participants were asked to solve an intelligence analysis task using an Immersive Space to Think (IST) in a 3D virtual environment using an HMD. The study results show that the concepts of Space to Think extend naturally to 3D immersive space and that the 3D space offers some …

Exploratory Data Analysis using Clusters and Stories
Exploratory data analysis aims to study datasets through the use of iterative, investigative, and visual analytic algorithms. Due to the difficulty in managing and accessing the growing volume of unstructured data, exploratory analysis of datasets has become harder than ever and an interest to data …

Rethinking Intelligence: Critical Perspectives on Security, Ethics and Institutional Practice
This thesis reexamines intelligence as both practice and object of inquiry in contemporary security frameworks. Grounded in Critical Intelligence Studies (CIS), it challenges state-centric, positivist assumptions, and argues that intelligence is a socially embedded, ethically charged process. …
