[Key Objectives]

-  Develop an open-source information-based nuclear activity analysis system that can continuously monitor North Korea's nuclear activities by automatically collecting text-based information (papers, patents, news, etc.) related to North Korea’s nuclear program from the web. This information will be processed into actionable insights through expert analysis and evaluation.

[Key Activities]

Data Collector) Web crawling to gather papers, patents, domestic and international news, and data on individuals and organizations.

Data Progressing)

-  Creation of a dictionary for major keywords and natural language processing (including terms, synonyms, and exclusion terms).

-  Building a core terms dictionary for evaluating data importance.

Data Analysis)

-  Statistical Analysis: Word clouds, frequency trends over time, etc.

-  Network Creation: Word-to-word network, individual-to-individual network based on co-authorship or co-patent relationships.

-  Network Analysis: Evaluate the importance (influence) of individuals using:

• Degree centrality, Closeness centrality, Betweenness centrality, Eigenvector centrality

[Utilization of Results]

-  Track yearly trends of major papers, patents, and key terms related to North Korea's nuclear activities.

-  Identify leading researchers and organizations involved in North Korea's nuclear efforts.

-  Provide linked information between keywords, individuals, organizations, papers, patents, and news related to North Korea’s nuclear activities.
