Security applications of language technology

In this talk we discuss applications of language technology (NLP) in the security sector. We cover applications such as text categorization and topic detection, author identification and profiling, detection and monitoring of influence operations, as well as automatic language generation. We discuss both the actual algorithms used, as well as concrete examples of analysis in real applications.

Speaker
