CounteR Project Newsletter #6
Thu, 25 May 2023
As you might have gathered from our endeavors over the last several years, ASSIST Software thrives on a relentless pursuit of innovation, making it a driving force behind everything we do. Among our various endeavors, the CounteR project stands out as it embarks on its third year of implementation, marked by a series of valuable and groundbreaking achievements.
The recently published newsletter covers the progress made within the project, including insights into the latest research findings, which have been shared with the research community through the publication of a collection of compelling articles. Another section of the newsletter consists of an interview with ICON’s CEO Ian Castillo, who reflects on the main advantages of CounteR’s image recognition technology for facilitating the work of LEAs in detecting online radicalization.
In the 6th Newsletter, you can also find comprehensive information about the 4th Technical Meeting held in Toulouse in March 2023. This event served as an excellent opportunity for the consortium to showcase the CounteR platform through a live demonstration. Moreover, the CounteR project has maximized its presence at a multitude of international events, fully leveraging these opportunities:
- At the CREST project’s final conference, partners from EI (European Institute) and IMAGGA provided an overview of CounteR’s goals, objectives and recent achievements – Big Data, NLP, Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Image Analysis.
- During the “Victimisation and Victims of Crime: Challenges to Legislators, the Practice, and Society” event held in Sofia, Bulgaria in late February, EI addressed critical aspects such as measures for safeguarding victims of radicalization and cybercrime. The presentation also highlighted CounteR's innovative approaches, which promote collaboration among researchers, technology partners, law enforcement agencies (LEAs), and civil society organizations (CSOs).
- CounteR had a notable participation at MWC Barcelona 2023 (Mobile World Congress), showcasing the project's impactful presence at this influential global event.
