AI & ML interests
1. Semantic Understanding of Witness Testimonies
UAP Check is interested in the computation of large volumes of structured and unstructured testimonies. AI can enable:
- Semantic encoding of natural language to capture nuance and intent
- Pattern recognition in narratives across different languages or cultural contexts
- Thematic clustering of recurring descriptions or unusual outliers
2. Unsupervised Clustering of Observations
With many testimonies lacking clear classification, AI techniques such as dimensionality reduction and clustering can:
- Reveal hidden structures in data
- Group similar cases by behavior, shape, or trajectory
- Support hypothesis generation through emergent typologies
3. Anomaly Detection
AI can help distinguish between conventional and potentially unexplained events through:
- Distance-based or density-based anomaly detection
- Detection of outliers based on spatial, temporal, or semantic patterns
- Filtering of data likely linked to known artifacts (e.g. satellites, aircraft, etc.)
4. Credibility & Cognitive Signal Analysis
- Advanced AI techniques can be trained to assess:
- Indicators of subjective consistency or cognitive dissonance in testimonies
- Behavioral markers associated with imagination, memory distortion, or deception
- Correlation between perception patterns and psychological factors
5. Automatic Categorization
AI can support the creation of a scalable, evolving typology system for UAP by:
- Automatically assigning labels based on known patterns
- Learning from expert-labeled cases and applying inference to new data
- Supporting multi-label classification for complex or ambiguous cases
