Abstract:
The analysis of digital media and particularly texts acquired in the context of police securing/seizure is currently a very time-consuming, error-prone and largely manual process. Nevertheless, such analysis are often crucial for finding evidential information in criminal proceedings in general as well as fulfilling any judicial investigation mandate. Therefore, an integrated computational solution for supporting the analysis and subsequent evaluation process is currently developed by the authors. In this work, we present an approach for categorizing texts with adjustable precision combining rule-based decision formula and machine learning techniques. Furthermore, we introduce a text processing pipeline for deep analysis of forensic texts as well as an approach for the identification of criminological roles.
