IAMI Project Overview

IAMI aims to revolutionize entity identification and resolution in security, intelligence, and investigation contexts. By addressing the challenges and limitations of current identification techniques, it offers a visionary solution through advanced AI-powered software. The project's long-term vision is to propel EU LEAs and security/intelligence organizations into a new era of intelligence, investigation, and forensic capabilities. At its core, IAMI is an innovative AI-powered software system designed to integrate seamlessly with existing case management systems and analytic tools.

Identity-Attributes-Matrix (IAM)

Central to IAMI is the 'Identity-Attributes-Matrix (IAM)', a 3D construct that encompasses a broad spectrum of multimodal identity-related attributes. These include biometric data, non-biometric identity-related data, and analytic results. The IAM enables:

  • Large-scale entity identification and resolution
  • Simultaneous and rapid multi-entity identification
  • Systematic and continuous analysis of flux probe attributes
  • Confidence in handling noisy or corrupted probe data
  • Reduced false positive rates
  • Access to contact attributes
  • Classification of fake identities and bots/avatars

Moreover, IAMI fosters collaboration and data sharing across European agencies, including organizations like EUROPOL and INTERPOL. This is achieved through the establishment of a new EU-wide IAMI enrolled data collection repository for terrorist threat assessment and awareness, enriching capabilities and assets.

Implementation and Dissemination

The realization of IAMI's vision will be demonstrated through the deployment of its solution and communicated to EU LEAs and security/intelligence agencies. This will be facilitated through project activities, including deliverables, training curricula, workshops, and pilots. IAMI represents a significant step forward in the EU's fight against terrorism.

City of Prague

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is well known for its historical monuments, classical architecture and rich cultural heritage that continues today in many theaters, concert halls, opera houses and galleries. Come and discover this wonderful city and walk in the footsteps not only of Franz Kafka and Antonin Dvorak but also of Tycho de Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Bernard Bolzano, Christian Doppler, Albert Einstein, Jaroslav Heyrovsky, and others.

The dominant feature of the city is Prague Castle with its gothic St. Vitus Cathedral. The castle, formerly the seat of Czech kings since 1087, became the seat of the president in 1918. The 14th century Charles Bridge, the most remarkable promenade site in Prague, connects Lesser Town with the Old Town, amazing network of twisting medieval lanes. The Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square houses the oldest working Astronomical Clock in the world (1410). At every hour, a presentation of four figures and statues of 12 Apostles starts. Between the Old Town Square and the river bank, remains of unique 13th century Jewish Town offer mysterious spiritual atmosphere. Due to hilly landscape over double-bent river valley, the elevated sites such as the Castle offer magnificent views over the city's “one hundred spires”.
