Investigative Analysis and Anomaly Detection
VACCINE develops interactive visual tools for investigative analysis and anomaly detection including tools for large collections of documents (e.g., Jigsaw), multimedia data, open source new data, social media data, and financial data.
Social Media Analytics and Reporting Toolkit (SMART)
This technology provides analysts with scalable and interactive social media analysis and visualization through topic extraction, combination of filters, cluster examination, and stream categorization for increasing situational awareness in disaster events and accidents using social media data.
