ABSTRACT
The DARPA Memex program was established with the goal of funding research into building domain-specific search systems that integrated state-of-the-art focused crawling (domain discovery) information extraction and semantic search, and that could be used by users and domain experts with no programming or technical experience. Domain-specific Insight Graphs (DIG) was proposed and funded under Memex and has led to an end-to-end search system currently being used by over 200 law enforcement for combating human trafficking, by investigators from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US for investigating securities fraud, and for numerous other domains of a difficult, socially consequential (e.g., investigative) and unusual nature.

Technology-assisted Investigative Search: A Case Study from an Illicit Domain
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsFor many, search engines like Google and Bing offer excellent facilities for satisfying information needs. However, a class of needs not currently addressed by generic search engines is investigative search, which has massive potential for using adaptive ...
Understanding Law Enforcement Strategies and Needs for Combating Human Trafficking
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn working to rescue victims of human trafficking, law enforcement officers face a host of challenges.
