Summary
Dr. Joseph Campbell shares several human language technologies highlights from MIT Lincoln Laboratory. These include key enabling technologies in combating misinformation to link personas, analyze content, and understand human networks. Developing operationally relevant technologies requires access to corresponding data with meaningful evaluations, as Dr. Douglas Reynolds presented in his keynote. As Dr. Danelle Shah discussed in her keynote, it’s crucial to develop these technologies to operate at deeper levels than the surface. Producing reliable information from the fusion of missing and inherently unreliable information channels is paramount. Furthermore, the dynamic misinformation environment and the coevolution of allied methods with adversarial methods represent additional challenges
