Mixed initiative soft data fusion associate

We present a mixed-initiative data fusion associate that incorporates an analyst into a dynamic, soft fusion and decision-making process. We describe how the mixed-initiative associate integrates with two existing Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories' (ATL) systems: a spoken language reporting system and a dynamic human network persistence system, to provide a more accurate human network from the collection of human-generated reports. We provide a scenario demonstrating the use of the mixed-initiative fusion associate.
