Leadership Trait Analysis and Threat Assessment with Profiler Plus

Abstract

Profiler Plus is a general-purpose "natural language" analysis application implemented in Common Lisp. We discuss its capabilities in the context of two points of view which are brought together here for the first time: that of Social Science Automation which commissioned the product and programmed the rules which drive it; and that of Ravenbrook which, without ever wholly understanding what it did, successfully implemented it.
