Abstract

Storing digital data is increasingly affordable and attractive for many organizations, thus allowing longitudinal postum analysis of events and for identifying trends that may hold interest for predicting future scenarios. Results of manual data analysis suffer from high time consumption and human error due to the complexity or volume of data. Responding to this, our study explores advances in artificial intelligence techniques by presenting experiences from the iterative development of a prototype that assists intelligence officers in identifying trends in serial crimes. This study contributes by illustrating the first steps that may be taken towards diffusing advances in artificial intelligence into a practice area serving the general public.
