Rutgers to Lead DHS-Financed Information-Mining Research

Brian Robinson writes on FCW.com:

Rutgers will lead a consortium of industry and academic research labs that will develop the new technologies, specifically to find patterns and relationships in news stories, blogs and other sources. They will also look for ways to rate the consistency and reliability of the sources.
