It scans millions of police records, interviews, pictures, videos and more, to identify connections that it thinks are relevant. All of this is then presented on two large touchscreens for a crime analyst to interact with." "An analyst can then say whether this is relevant or not, and VALCRI will adjust the results," said Neesha Kodagoda, also from Middlesex. The system uses machine learning to improve its searches on the basis of such interactions with analysts, the 'New Scientist' reported. UK police are currently testing VALCRI with three years' worth of real, anonymised data, totalling around 6.5 million records.
