VAST Challenge 2011
Using Visual Analytics to Investigate Terrorist Activities Related to Epidemics
With our submission for the VAST Challenge 2011, we won the grand challenge and received an award for an Outstanding Comprehensive Submission.
The grand challenge consisted of three mini challenges:
- MC1 : Geospatial and Microblogging – Characterization of an Epidemic Spread
- MC2 : Cybersecurity – Situational Awareness in Computer Networks
- MC3 : Text Analytics – Investigation into Criminal Activity
The grand challenge combined all available dataset to provide a global picture of the ongoing terrorist activities.
