US DEVELOPS SOFTWARE THAT COULD TRACK GLOBAL PRESS
by Farooque Shaheen 12 Oct '06

US DEVELOPS SOFTWARE THAT COULD TRACK GLOBAL PRESS Washington, DNA The US Department of Homeland Security plans to develop software that analyses and summarises opinions expressed in articles, providing a possible tool for better monitoring what is written about the United States in the global press. The department says it will spend 2.4 million dollars over the next three years supporting research at three US universities using computer science to analyze human language in texts. "The work is really designed to get information extraction that would help the DHS review statements for sentiments or beliefs contained in statements, and to provide intelligence analysts within DHS," said Homeland Security spokesperson Christophe Kelly. Kelly said the software would offer the department staff "another resource to conduct their work" -- even though the project has raised eyebrows among press freedom advocates. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1057937 Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.
