All these NLP is great but the important question is what insights you gained from these that you didn’t had before?

- mgamache 8y agoI think he points out the ability to correlate non-report data (like airline flights) or to make it more obvious what is in the redacted sections. I am not sure how effective that will be, but overall NER counts and the relationships between people and a coherent timeline would be helpful.
- spdustin 8y agoThe unredacting stuff was abandoned. It’s problematic even with training on other material from the SCO, and the ethics are fraught. The correlation is where it’s at, no doubt.
- soVeryTired 8y agoHonestly just a list of names, people, places and dates mentioned in the document could be a boon to investigative journalists.
- spdustin 8y agoThat was my prediction and hope. Judging by the DMs I’ve gotten, it was an accurate prediction. :)
- zachguo 8y agoIt's a bit boring TBH. Basically OCR+NER, I guess some journalists have already done similar stuff using Google's NLP API.
