Hybrid Integration of Reasoning Techniques in Suspect Investigation

Abstract

Crime investigation is a challenging and difficult task, especially if there are many suspects, together with inconsistencies between witnesses, alibis and physical evidence. We propose integration of a rule-based reasoner and a Bayesian network profiler through an Assumption-based Truth Maintenance System (ATMS) to determine the most plausible suspect. The process combines a profiling classification and an alibi credibility measure. It showed effective results in a simulation.
