News Mining for Border Security Intelligence

This presentation gives an overview of an effort to construct OSINT tools for Frontex (the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the Exter- nal Borders of the Member States of the European Union) that would facilitate automating the process of extracting structured knowledge from on-line news articles on border- security related events at the EU external borders and in related third countries, with a particular focus on incidents and developments which are of relevance in the context of illegal migration. This includes: (a) illegal migration incidents (e.g., illegal border corssing attempts), (b) related cross-border crimes (e.g., human trafficking), (c) related crisis events (e.g., terrorist attacks, outbreaks of infectious diseases, etc.).
