Supporting the Chilean Prosecutor’s Office with Artificial Intelligence in the investigation of crimes against property and the identification of criminal networks and their operating patterns

Researchers from the Data Science group of the Complex Engineering Systems Institute (ISCI) developed an advanced analytics system that supports Chile’s Prosecutor’s Office through two models, expediting criminal analysis. The first reconstructs social networks and links between people with criminal records. The second uses Artificial Intelligence to identify patterns in the modus operandi in property crime cases. By cross-referencing the
