PhD Student Develops Algorithm to Track Cartels

Viridiana Rios, who was assisted on the project by Michele Coscia, a fellow at Google and the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for International Development, told Efe that the automated search algorithm allows them to conduct mass searches on criminal gangs in Google's news aggregator.
