New paper on Named Entity Recognition published in Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences by Springer

25 April 2025

The EUROCAST 2024 conference paper "The Application of Named Entity Recognition in Military Intelligence" by Christian Nitzl, Achim Cyran, Sascha Krstanovic and Uwe M. Borghoff has been published in Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences by Springer.

The study examines the potential added value of Named Entity Recognition (NER) in the military analysis process. Among other things, NER can be used to identify times, places, organisations and persons in texts. On the one hand, the results of the study show that the use of NER in military information processing can add value. On the other hand, it is clear that this added value needs to be increased through more precise tagging. The military analysis process is a highly sensitive area that requires a high degree of NER maturity.

On the common misconceptions about Islamist terrorism Eva Herschinger in online magazine Krautreporter article on the topic

After the attacks in Munich, Aschaffenburg, Magdeburg, Mannheim and Solingen, the impression has arisen that terrorist violence is on the rise, and that Islamist-motivated perpetrators are particularly responsible for this. The long article in the online magazine Krautreporter examines the question on the basis of six misconceptions about Islamist terrorism.

Enhancing Decision-Making with Red Teaming

How can cognitive biases and groupthink in decision-making be systematically mitigated? Red Teaming provides a proven methodological approach to challenge assumptions, optimize strategic planning, and enhance decision resilience. At the Wargaming and Information Systems Research Program at the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS), we had the opportunity to discuss the method and its core principles with two of its original developers. Our exchange focused on how Red Teaming is applied in both research and practice.
