Plain-Language Brief

The authors propose a new method using Large Language Models (LLMs) to assist in the assessment of threats for foreign peacekeeping missions, using the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia as a case study.

What the Document Says

The text discusses a novel approach that applies LLMs to threat assessment in foreign peacekeeping missions.
The approach builds on the PINPOINT project and its use case, the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia.
It combines an interdisciplinary risk-model, OSINT-based media collection, and LLM-supported threat extraction.
The workflow maps media contents to mission-relevant threats and extracts structured information.
Several additional LLM-based processing steps are applied to improve relevance and grounding.
An evaluation of threats extracted from media documents shows high agreement between automated results and human judgment for core aspects such as threat and mission relevance.
The authors conclude that LLMs provide a promising approach to support analysts in the context of peacekeeping missions.

Raw Abstract / Excerpt

We present a novel approach for applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to threat assessment in the context of foreign peacekeeping missions. Building on the PINPOINT project and its use case, the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia, we combine an interdisciplinary risk-model with OSINT-based media collection and LLM-supported threat extraction. The proposed workflow maps media contents to mission-relevant threats, extracts structured information and applies several additional LLM-based processing steps to improve relevance and grounding. An evaluation of threats extracted from media documents shows high agreement between automatically generated results and human judgment for core aspects such as threat and mission relevance. These results indicate that LLMs provide a promising approach to support analysts in the context of peacekeeping missions.
