Today's business communication is almost unimaginable without emails. They document discussions and decisions or summarise face-to-face meetings in the form of unstructured text or attachments and thus hold a significant amount of information about a business.
In very exceptional cases, for example when investigating a known case of fraud, specialists examine inboxes and attached files of involved personnel to determine the extent of the situation. However, the sheer quantity of data is unmanageable without some guidance by an exploration tool.
This work touches the fields of text mining, text summarisation, document classification, topic modelling, named entity extraction, entity linking, relationship extraction, as well as social network-, and graph analysis. In this project, we bring these disciplines together in a novel tool that helps steer forensic data exploration.
