Summary The goal of this task is to enrich current operational datasets with social cultural, and behavioral knowledge and to apply this socio-cultural knowledge in the development and testing of new, potential transformative technology for modeling communities of interest. This knowledge will be used to develop and test innovative new behavioral modeling and visitations.
1. Socio-cultural enrichments of current operational data sets for testing new behavioral methodologies.
2. Collaboration and data adhering with ongoing research efforts in the CENTCOM Area of Operations (AOR).
Dataset Enrichment: Enrich 10-20 exemplars within existing CENTCOM dataset with socio-cultural knowledge that can be used to identify community membership.
Dataset Formatting and Sharing: Format dataset for behavioral model consumption. Includes appropriate labeling data fields and ensuring that data is structured for import to an automated parser.
Collaboration with research team and field elements: Collaboration with researchers developing innovative visualizations and behavioral modeling methods. Collaboration with CENTCOM AOR to ensure research is meeting operational requirements.
