Enabling Intelligence Analysis through Agent-Support: the CISpaces Toolkit

We demonstrate CISpaces, a system for agent-aided collaborative intelligence analysis. CISpaces exploits collaboration to ease the effort of constructing hypotheses from acquired information. Argumentation-based reasoning is employed by a sensemaking agent to identify plausible hypotheses and to compute their likelihood to be justified. Information requirements are handled by a crowdsourcing agent that elaborates responses mitigating biases and a provenance agent assists analysts in assessing the credibility of hypotheses.
