  • Description: The exploration of volumes of crime reports is a tedious task in crime intelligence analysis, given the largely unstructured nature of the crime descriptions. This paper describes a Visual Analytics approach for crime signature exploration that tightly integrates automated event sequence extraction and signature mining with interactive visualization. We describe the major components of our analysis pipeline — crime concept/event extraction, crime sequence mining, and interactive visualization. We illustrate its applicability with a real world use case. Finally, we discuss current problems, future plans, and open challenges in our development of a solution that incorporates automated event pattern mining with human expert feedback. ; published
