Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“It would be useful to identify, before an investigation, persons and organizations who are potentiallyinvolved in financial crimes or suspicious activities. Some actors who are involved in suspicious activitiesmay appear in news alerts regarding suspected or actual financial or non-financial crimes, or may beassociated with or related to others involved in financial or non-financial crimes. For example, news of astandoff or chase between police and a suspect may reveal actors (e.g., the suspect or someone associatedwith or related to the suspect, whether named or not named in a news report) who may be engaged insuspicious activities that warrant further investigation.”
