Evaluation Test Bed for Information Analysis Tools
Lucent Technologies, in conjunction with the University of California at Riverside, developed a synthetic data generation tool designed to create data that will be used for testing data mining tools. Data mining tools use diverse data sources to piece together evidence. A common challenge in testing these tools is the availability of input data. This input data can be hard to obtain because of the privacy concerns surrounding real data sources. The evaluation test bed circumvents these issues by generating synthetic data with sufficient quality. Requests for additional information should be sent to ipsubgroup@tswg.gov.
