DARPA On the Technology Bleeding Edge

DARPA’s Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) is soliciting proposals for a program called Real-World Reasoning, to “explore and develop foundations, technology and tools to enable effective, practical automated reasoning of the scale and complexity required for computers to perform complex tasks in the real world requiring intelligence.”

  • “Specifically, the program intends to: 1. Develop and demonstrate innovative techniques that push the envelope of performance of reasoning engines, in terms of the scale of the problems that can be dealt with, and the speed and correctness of reasoning. 2. Explore, develop, and demonstrate novel methods that extend the breadth of reasoning to deal with a. Uncertain and dynamic environments where the knowledge base is characterized by uncertain and temporally changing information; and, b. Strategic environments characterized by goals and intentions of many interacting agents and actors, in both cooperative and non-cooperative contexts. 3.Build and demonstrate embedded reasoners for active knowledge bases that recognize the commonalities and similarities among multiple ontologies, and combine and merge them, so as to enable well-informed reasoning through the exploitation of all information in the knowledge base.”
