Artificial Intelligence Applications in the Open Source Intelligence Cycle(2) - Data Processing Stage

In the data processing stage, due to the disorder, heterogeneity and complexity of open source intelligence data, it is difficult to define the amount of information and value points. In contrast, artificial intelligence technology can break through the calculation speed and endurance limits of the human brain. Intelligence personnel use artificial intelligence image processing and other technologies to screen, compare and classify the collected data, which can convert data with various formats, irregular or incomplete structures into "readable" data. It greatly improves the efficiency and stability of data processing and meets the data processing needs of open source intelligence.

1.Automated processing of large-scale data set

The large-scale data set of the network brings huge challenges to the real-time performance of data processing. The use of artificial intelligence techniques enables critical, time-consuming tasks such as image recognition and classification to be performed at greater speed and scale. For example, computer vision can be used to assist in processing large streams of image and video data, and machine learning algorithms can be used to process large data set. The development of these artificial intelligence tools will enable the back end of data processing to be delivered to the analysis stage of open source intelligence in a more understandable and actionable form.

2. Automatic classification and intelligent recommendation

The data processing stage faces links such as data format standardization, abnormal data identification, error correction, and duplicate data removal. Advances in machine learning technology have enabled algorithms to classify large amounts of open source information, far exceeding the amount of tasks that traditional open source intelligence analysts can do manually. In addition to helping to process the growing amount of open source intelligence data, artificial intelligence tools can also present the most relevant and useful information to open source intelligence mission needs. For example, recommendation algorithms can discover patterns, trends, and interrelationships based on the task requirements of open source intelligence personnel, and find and mark highly relevant content.

3. Early Warning

Artificial intelligence technology can assist intelligence personnel to maintain continuous situational awareness of specific analysis needs, identify subtle changes, hidden trends, potential threats, and related connections in raw intelligence, and improve the accuracy of open source intelligence. Additionally, artificial intelligence tools are trained to identify and label key information. For example, machine learning can help establish baseline guidelines for normal behavioral activities, identify imperceptible changes in the target environment, and sense abnormal or high-risk behaviors to provide early warnings for analysts.
