Problem the AI is intended to solve

This use case intends to solve the problem of efficiently searching through and analyzing large volumes of translated evidentiary data, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Expected benefits

The Title III Semantic Search and Summarization functionality will augment translation and transcription services by extracting relevant data using machine learning and natural language processing for correlation and semantic search. Results can then be summarized using a large language model, giving users a tool to target relevant data only. This capability accelerates investigative analysis by rapidly identifying persons of interest, surfacing trends, and detecting networks or fraud, saving hundreds of man hours in manual analysis. HSI will use this tool to generate leads, and further action will be required by investigators and analysts as part of the full investigative process before any action is taken against an individual.

System outputs

Outputs include semantic search results, concise data summaries, extracted key entities, identified trends and patterns, and generated investigative leads from large volumes of translated and transcribed evidentiary data.
