Gheorghe D. Tecuci, Mihai Boicu, Cindy Ayers, David W. Cammons · 2005
This paper presents research on developing a new type of tool that can alleviate several systemic problems faced by the traditional intelligence analysis process. The tool is a personal cognitive assistant that can rapidly acquire expertise in intelligence analysis directly from intelligence analysts, can train new analysts, and can help analysts find solutions to complex problems through mixed-initiative reasoning, making possible the synergistic integration of a human’s experience and creativity with an automated agent’s knowledge and speed, and facilitating the collaboration with complementary experts and their agents.
