Details

This system uses IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding to automatically extract named entities (people, organizations, locations) from news articles, social media, and licensed media sources, then scores content for relevance to foreign policy and reputational risk. It helps Government of Canada analysts detect disinformation narratives and foreign interference patterns. The system involves personal information and has since been retired from active use.
