The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is starting a new project to develop "computer software able to learn and reason in complex military planning jobs by being shown how to perform a task only once," according to Military & Aerospace Electronics. The Integrated Learner will be able to combine external inputs with its own knowledge generated through reasoning. The goal is to replace military decision by software technology. The project, which is in the proposal stage by now, will last four years. And its possible applications include Air Tasking Order (ATO) planning, CAD for Mechanical Assembly Planning, Bioinformatics or eScience Workflow Management. Once the project is completed, the Integrated Learner should exceed human performance by at least 25%. Read more...
