For some people, the words Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) may conjure images of a dystopian world of machines, which are stronger, think faster, have no morality, and seek to either enslave or destroy mankind. Others may view AI through a utopian lens, as an idyllic existence where autonomous machines see to our every...
The B24IC program will inspire and enable IARPA and the wider intelligence community to pursue novel, emerging, and high-risk research concepts which have the potential to provide the community with an overwhelming advantage in collection, analysis, and security. IARPA established the B24IC program in 2022 to meet Executive, Intelligence, and Defen...
SMART ePANTS program aims to develop sensor systems that can record and store audio, video and location data. For maximum comfort and dexterity of the user, additional program objectives include sensor integration into clothing, where the garment maintains similar stretchability, bendability, surface roughness and washability attributes to a...
The SMART ePANTS program seeks to develop clothing with integrated audio, video, and geolocation sensor systems that feature the same stretchability, bendability, washability, and comfort of regular textiles. By weaving these devices directly into garments, Intelligence Community staff will be able to record information from their environment hands...
The WRIVA program aims to develop software systems to perform site modeling in scenarios where a limited volume of ground-level imagery with reliable metadata is available. Site models are highly desired to allow personnel to train and rehearse prior to executing a mission, but typically require a large volume of carefully collected data. Many agen...
HIATUS BAA The HIATUS program seeks to develop novel human-useable systems for attributing authorship and protecting author privacy through identification and leveraging of explainable linguistic fingerprints. HIATUS Performers will focus on three task areas (TAs). The program will develop novel methods to generate a...
HAYSTAC aims to establish models of “normal” human movement across times, locations, and people in order to characterize what makes an activity detectable as anomalous within the expanding corpus of global human trajectory data. Success will establish the scientific foundation connecting data, movement, and the expectation of privacy. The Inter...
NextGov - The intelligence community’s research arm is preparing to develop new artificial intelligence systems that can identify who, or what, authored any specific text—and on the flip side, advanced systems targeting features to protect authors’...
The HIATUS program aims to develop novel human-useable systems for attributing authorship and protecting author privacy. Authorship attribution capabilities address many Intelligence Community (IC) needs, including combating sophisticated malicious information campaigns online and identifying...
HIATUS seeks to develop novel human-useable AI systems for attributing authorship and protecting author privacy through identification and leveraging of explainable linguistic fingerprints.The program will develop novel techniques to generate representations that capture author-level linguistic variation and...
The MicroE4AI program aims to drive innovations in hardware/ software and algorithm-architecture that improve the performance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications packaged in highly efficient, edge-capable microelectronic devices. Additionally, MicroE4AI seeks to cultivate new materials, processing and science impr...
When most people think of data-storage, what likely comes to mind is the “cloud,” as in cloud storage. For some, the cloud may entertain notions of an amorphous, semi-mysterious location floating in the air where emails, photos, videos, and documents magically reside. In reality, cloud storage is merely large data farms or warehouses that...
There’s data all around us, invisibly flying at light speed from more locations to more destinations than anyone can count. These data, in the form of radio frequency (RF) signals, are sent by billions of mobile phones, radios, beepers and other devices that make-up modern society’s communications footprint. As important as data is for the...
Entrepreneur Magazine - ...in 2011, [IARPA] launched a huge forecasting tournament for the public. At the beginning, there were five teams, and over the next four years, thousands of ordinary Joes and Janes would answer about 500 questions, like: Will North Korea launch a new multistage missile before May 10, 2014? Will...
BBC News - Scientists say they have made a major step forward in efforts to store information as molecules of DNA, which are more compact and long-lasting than other options. The magnetic hard drives we currently use to store computer data can take up lots of space. And they have to be replaced over time. Using life's preferred storage medium...
AGILE BAA IARPA, in partnership with The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO), seeks research and development of innovative, energy-efficient, reliable computer architectures for the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community (IC) to implement large-scale data-analytic applications, as well as other classes of large...
The EQuAL-P program aims to realize significant gains in the performance of electrically small antennas (ESAs) by activating them with non-linear, time varying elements. Intelligence Community missions often require the use of ESAs where the antenna size is significantly smaller than the wavelength of operation, fundamentally limiting performance....
“Ack, my phone battery is dead.” “Drat, my laptop doesn’t have enough charge for the trip!” “I left my e-book reader in the sun, and the battery overheated!” As it turns out, these common 21st century vacation refrains are also of particular importance to the U.S. Intelligence...
The Intelligence Community (IC) seeks methods for evaluating individuals and/or organisms exposed to low doses, potentially as low as 5cGray, of ionizing radiation. The methods anticipate that biomarkers discovered and models developed will leverage samples which can be collected minimally or non-invasively, to include hair, skin, sweat, and microb...
The Tools for Recognizing Useful Signals of Trustworthiness (TRUST) Program seeks to significantly advance the IC's capabilities to assess who can be trusted under certain conditions and in contexts relevant to the IC, potentially even in the presence of stress and/or deception. The TRUST Program seeks to bring together sensing AND validated protoc...
