A Machine Learning Based Model of Boko Haram

This is the first study of Boko Haram that brings advanced data—driven, machine learning models to both learn models capable of predicting a wide range of attacks carried out by Boko Haram, as well as develop data—driven policies to shape Boko Haram’s behavior and reduce attacks by them. This book also identifies conditions that predict sexual violence, suicide bombings and attempted bombings, abduction, arson, looting, and targeting of government officials and security installations.
