Most of the research aimed at counterterrorism, fraud detection, or
other forensic applications assumes that this is a specialized
application domain for mainstream knowledge discovery.
Unfortunately, knowledge discovery changes completely when the
datasets being used have been manipulated in order to conceal some
underlying activity. Knowledge Discovery for Counterterrorism and
Law Enforcement operates from the premise that detection algorithms
must be rethought to be effective in this domain, and presents a
new approach based on cutting-edge analysis for use in adversarial
settings. Reveals How Criminals Conceal Information This volume
focuses on four main forms of knowledge discovery: prediction,
clustering, relationship discovery, and textual analysis. For each
of these application areas, the author discusses opportunities for
concealment that are available to criminals and reveals some of the
tactics that can aid in detecting them. He reviews what is known
about the different technologies for each area and evaluates their
effectiveness. The book also supplies a preview of technologies
currently under development and describes how they will fit in to
existing approaches to knowledge discovery. Provides Proactive
Formulas for Staying One Step Ahead of Adversaries While all
knowledge-discovery systems are susceptible to manipulation,
designers and users of algorithmic systems who are armed with the
knowledge of these subversive tactics are better able to create
systems to avoid these vulnerabilities. This book delineates an
effective process for integrating knowledge-discovery tools,
provides a unique understanding of the limits of the technology,
and contains a clear presentation of the upsides and pitfalls of
data collection. It is a powerful weapon in the arsenal of anyone
confronting the increasingly sophistic
