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 Robert...
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...
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...
IARPA is seeking information on established techniques, metrics and capabilities related to the evaluation of generated text and the evaluation of human-interpretable explanations for neural language model behavior. The purposes of this RFI are the following:• Identification of novel human or automatic techniques, metrics and capabilities f...
The Intelligence Community (IC) and the Department of Defense (DoD) missions often require the use of electrically small antennas (ESAs) where the size of the antenna is significantly smaller than the wavelength of operation, fundamentally limiting the antenna performance. The Effective Quantitative Antenna Limits for Performance...
DNI.gov - The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, announced today the start of a multi-year research effort aimed at developing smart radio techniques that can automatically detect and characterize radio frequency (RF)...
Some of the hottest, trending languages are Kazakh, Swahili and Pashto. Well, at least for the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), sometimes that's true. It’s probably safe to say that no organization is more interested in what foreign nationals are saying and writing than the IC. This is especially true...
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...
TEI-REX BAA- The objective of the Targeted Evaluation of Ionizing Radiation Exposure (TEI-REX) program is to establish novel biodosimetry approaches enabling improved quantification of lower-dose ionizing radiation exposures (<0.75 Gray)[1] from samples that can be collected and/or tested minimally or non-invasively (hereafter known as...
“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...
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,...
Battelle - Under a contract with IARPA, Battelle has developed a methodology called TechAware Search Continuous Automated Scanning for Technology Transformation (CASTT), which focuses specifically on monitoring technology domains related to epidemics for significant changes and allowing separation of emergence (new...
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...
The goal of the TIC Program is to develop and demonstrate split-manufacturing, a new approach to chip fabrication where security and intellectual property protection can be assured. The semiconductor industry has been advancing rapidly with aggressive scaling. Extending beyond the Moore’s Law of digital processing and storage integrated...
STONESOUP develops and demonstrates comprehensive, automated techniques that allow end users to securely execute software without basing risk mitigations on characteristics of provenance that have a dubious relationship to security. Existing techniques to find and remove software vulnerabilities are costly, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Many...
The goal of the Sirius Program is to create Serious Games to train participants and measure their proficiency in recognizing and mitigating the cognitive biases that commonly affect all types of intelligence analysis. The research objective is to experimentally manipulate variables in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) to determine...
SHO is creating technology to enable full-parallax, full-color, high-resolution display of dynamic 3D data without head-gear, and possessing visually continuous perspectives without artifacts over wide viewing angles. SHO will deliver workstation prototypes with interactive applications to enhance analyst effectiveness on real and fused 3D data of...
Adaptive reasoning and problem-solving are increasingly valuable for information-oriented workplaces, where inferences from sparse, voluminous, or conflicting data must be drawn, validated, and communicated—often under stressful, time-sensitive conditions. In such contexts, one’s ability to accurately update one’s mental models, make valid co...
The Socio-cultural Content in Language (SCIL) Program intends to explore and develop novel designs, algorithms, methods, techniques and technologies to extend the discovery of the social goals of members of a group by correlating these goals with the language they use. Language is used to do more than share information; people use it...
Starting from the premise that Real World (RW) characteristics are reflected in VW behavior, the IARPA Reynard program sought to identify behavioral indicators in VWs and MMOGs that are related to the RW characteristics of the users. Performers in the Reynard program were expected to produce one or more VW behavioral indicators that serve to identi...
