This is very useful, thanks for sharing. I'd also add MATLAB to the list of tools used -- keep in mind that "intelligence analyst" is extremely broad as a descriptor. Some of these people are low-level ex-military 35F types, some have a classical statistics research background, some are social scientists, some are dataviz experts, some are linguists. So try to distinguish between these and offer sources when you can. Oh, and Cellebrite devices for mobile data collection. best, Griffin On 2014-07-03 09:16, Eugen Leitl `wrote:

MATLAB is additionally useful due to the fact that one of its toolkits (PPT - Parallel Processing Toolkit) has two useful features. First, the PPT lets the user distribute computations making use of those libraries across every machine registered with the licensing server that also has a license for the PPT. Second, the PPT lets the user make use of CUDA-enabled graphics cards on each of those workstations as well. For crunching very large data sets in a more reasonable period of time it's an excellent tool. It stomped NumPy and SciPy into the dirt when we compared them. Expensive as hell, though. - -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] Developer, Project Byzantium: http://project-byzantium.org/ PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "Did I fall asleep?" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTtYvrAAoJED1np1pUQ8RkXpAQAJBMj0mrHQkAj0ptyyHHzutb pGq2ZCg8bd+98zkWQq02LkAWI/BHSk92/uBq31I4Ea9HYCLHxMityqzX7t1Fg8Li 96gDQPW3ERtbT+w+zbjuFbdm8SAMsXpwVzfdGmqikBKaMglvLukQb2f9rGm8Y13a E6IXZdhT/qPuePUwpxCpZPNRHLNv0D7/jDnLDCmsvo0hsjDqpe1JXQcms8bwHpCB ca+emTYG53VbnasKE22jkCCaKCx1wdCYgD1ET584XpWC7o6mJtT7pvBpOnhbYX+7 aET7DaR5zbTvGaoE7Gnpip5jrd3TRK2ODbp2penzO/jE2CyCSmhE4rieQKQ+V2fn bMcvRso201csWbPEyfaijssi2EnSVhRSzL6O9TNNE34CTR9RW/DBuGfLiehVZ4HH OqW7wr6jGSnay14shMrWjv9Vzc2NwfY5foVwISMbElAzU3UzxplWGCsW5Pey3PMj MMIYUb2j+D5nAf2ACOuPyrXUI43q0Fyb0VX2/cJgQSZVGwx3jw+w1dAVblViOsRX do8Ju2UbB+W//eTb9NVcNca7SXt2Ww4NynGqLCggwH5QFv/C7u0mJ2UceHE2BFZT PSJMsXwe+xeE2rGrBQwiWLznoigeHHFaGVtd37FmoNlKl72QDiqCqDtX/7EOVVbQ 3QE9uHIgwvo6wyr1ZdfX =R168 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

There's a mostly-annual semantic technology conference called STIDS (Semantic Technology for Intelligence, Defense, and Security), formerly called OIC (Ontologies for the Intelligence Community). First day is public, second day is secret. Focuses on using semantic network technologies for national security issues. http://stids.c4i.gmu.edu/index.php The list of sponsors and vendors, and most of the presentations are from companies talking about how well their products work, are useful to find out companies that analyze various metadata. It's funny how many are based on open source technologies, like Semantic MediaWiki. :-)
