Government Operational Research Service member discusses AI in probation

An Associate Data Science Product Manager in the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has detailed their work on projects using Large Language Models within Probation Data Science.

  • An Associate Data Science Product Manager in the MOJ is focused on projects utilising Large Language Models.
  • One project involved launching a Contact Log Semantic Search to assist probation staff.
  • Another project enhanced person data linking efforts across the criminal justice system.

An Associate Data Science Product Manager in the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is currently working on Data Science projects within Probation Data Science, with a focus on Large Language Models. This role involves managing product vision, ethics, stakeholders, risks, and documentation.

One notable project involved the launch of a Contact Log Semantic Search. This tool uses a trained large language model to help probation staff search millions of unstructured reports on offenders, aiming to increase relevant information and reduce search times. This could allow staff more time to engage with people on probation.

Previously, the individual worked as a Senior Data Scientist in the MOJ, contributing to projects such as large-scale data linking across the criminal justice system and fines enforcement. They also helped enhance person data linking efforts across the criminal justice system, utilising the open-source package Splink.

Why this matters: The application of Large Language Models and data linking in the criminal justice system could impact how probation staff access information and how data is managed across government services.
