Identifying offenders and predicting meet-ups using artificial intelligence Planned fights between fans of professional football clubs are currently a relevant issue. Previously, Bureau Beke conducted the very first study in Europe on prearranged fights on behalf of the Police and Science program. This research shed light on the phenomenon and highlighted the associated risks. The topic is now on the agenda of the police and judiciary, but recognizing offenders and predicting fight meet-ups remains a major challenge for the police, despite the abundance of online videos and agreements. In a follow-up study, Dialogic and Bureau Beke, in collaboration with the police, aim to explore how artificial intelligence can aid in identifying offenders and predicting fight meet-ups. In addition to a literature review and interviews with experts within the police, two models will be built and trained in collaboration with the police: the Person Re-Identification model (including the use of facial recognition) and the predictive risk model.
