Abstract
The paper describes a computational system, an application and implementation of the mature Ontological Semantic Technology, for detecting unintentional inferences in casual unsolicited and unrestricted verbal output of individuals, potentially responsible for leaked classified information to people with unauthorized access. Uses of the system for cases of insider threat and/or social engineering are discussed.About the Speaker
Victor Raskin is a Distinguished Professor of English and Linguistics at Purdue, who also is an Associate Director for Graduate Education at CERIAS and has a courtesy appointment in CS. He holds a Ph.D. (1970) from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in mathematical and computational linguistics. A co-founder of Ontological Semantics, with his former Ph.D. advisee Sergei Nirenburg, he has authored, co-authored, edited, etc. some 20 books and over 200 papers in the are of theoretical and computational semantics and their applications. He has also consulted a number of businesses implementing applications of Ontological Semantics.
