New framework extracts facts from police reports using symbolic AI

Researchers have developed a new framework to extract factual information from unstructured law enforcement reports using symbolic methods. This approach aims to convert natural language narratives into evidence-linked facts, facilitating review, training, and investigations. The system achieved a 54.1% confidence score for extracted events above 0.80 and demonstrated high accuracy in mapping events through semantic paths, with perfect agreement on incident initiation and stolen items. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the efficiency and accuracy of analyzing legal documents, potentially aiding investigations and training.

    Ontology for Policing: Conceptual Knowledge Learning for Semantic Understanding and Reasoning in Law Enforcement Reports

    Law enforcement reports contain structured fields and written narratives. However, many incident facts that are needed for review, police training, and investigations are in natural language and require manual reading. We propose a framework using symbolic methods for converting …
