Mind your language! Using AI Powered Language Tools to Enhance your Investigations
2025-12-03 12:00 - 13:00 (Europe/London) | Online
As we move into 2026, the landscape of investigations is being reshaped by machine learning and AI-powered language analysis. But what does that mean in practice—and how can investigators harness these tools to work smarter, faster, and deeper?
Join Melina Efstathiou, forensic technology leader and GenAI strategist, and Leon Major, Director of training and advisory services, for a hands-on session exploring how Natural Language Processing (NLP) is revolutionizing investigative workflows.
You’ll discover how cutting-edge tools like sentiment analysis and content filters can surface hidden behaviours—bullying, misogyny, manipulation—without relying on traditional keyword searches. Learn how Named Entity Recognition (NER) can automatically extract names, places, products, and laws from vast datasets, revealing connections you didn’t know to look for.
We’ll also demonstrate how AI-driven Early Case Assessment can build case summaries, event timelines, and key people profiles before a single document is manually reviewed—giving investigators a strategic head start.
