A synthetic dataset for evaluating soft and hard fusion algorithms

Precedence tree guided search for the efficient identification of multiple situations of interest – AND/OR graph matching

“…PIR can be responded to most effectively when broken down into a collection of SIR and indicators or warnings. The utilization of a report based synthetic dataset for counter-insurgency (SYNCOIN, [15]) combined with PIR and indicators provided by a potential commander, lead to the identification that many PIR indicators and thus their template graph representations contain common elements. This realization paired with the potential for increased algorithmic efficiency and the presence of topological errors transmitted from upstream processing elements form the motivation for AND/OR template graphs.…”

Natural Language Understanding for Information Fusion

“…These "training" messages included: the 100 messages from the Soft Target Exploitation and Fusion (STEF) project [17]; the 7 Bomber Buster Scenario messages [8]; the 13 messages of the Bio-Weapons Thread, 84 messages of the Rashid IED Cell Thread, and 115 mes- Table 1 The number of mapping rules in each category, the number of those rules that fired on any message in the SCT dataset, the total number of times those rules fired, and the average number of times they fired per message. sages of the Sunni Criminal Thread, of the 595-message SynCOIN dataset [5,6]. None of these messages were actual intelligence messages, but are "a creative representation of military reports, observations and assessments" [6].…”

“…Tractor and the larger information fusion system of which it is a part have been developed by experimenting with several datasets, particularly the Synthetic Counterinsurgency (SynCOIN) [5] dataset. All examples in this chapter have been drawn from these datasets.…”

Visualization of graphical information fusion results

“…Semantics drive graphical methods of which we use the SYNCOIN scenario as an example of human-based reports [49], shown in Table 1.
