The ubiquity of imagery produced by security cameras is difficult to measure. In fact, for CCTV security cameras alone, there are, globally, more than one billion in continuous operation1. Even for a single facility such as a school or office building with far fewer security cameras, there is still a vast amount of footage produced....

DNI.gov The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — today launched a new quantum computing program aimed at overcoming the field’s next major challenge en route to its promise of solving physics, chemistry, and...
If you’ve been following numerous media stories over the last few years, you already know that quantum computing promises to be the next big thing in computing and is under feverish development by countries and companies across the globe. While the promises may hold true, the reality is that today’s computers and algorithms are pretty...
The Video LINCS program aims to develop novel capabilities to autonomously re-identify objects across diverse video sensor collections and map all objects to a common reference frame. Re-identification (reID) is the process of matching the same object across a video collection, to determine where the object appears throughout the...
The Video LINCS program aims to develop re-identification methods that autonomously associate objects across diverse, non-collaborative, video sensor footage, to distill raw pixel data into spatio-temporal motion vectors, providing the ability to analyze these patterns for anomalies and threats. The goal of the Video LINCS program, is...
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is seeking information on the current state of the art (SOTA) and future direction of analytical instruments capable of detecting, identifying, and characterizing the multitude of biomolecules that constitute or are associated with biological systems and materials. Such molecules include...
The recent advent of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated chat programs or large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and other LLMs, provide a revolutionary new capability that inspires both awe and trepidation. OpenAI and similar LLM developers argue that the new technology is a much-needed tool. For example, they...
Cyber-attacks on individuals or organizations can be devastating. They may result in the loss of private personal information, the theft of proprietary company or financial data, and/or the release of organizational secrets. The number and scope of cyber-attacks have increased exponentially over the years. For example, according to one study,...
BENGAL BAA The goal of the BENGAL targeted super seedling is to understand LLM threat modes, quantify them and to find novel methods to correct threats and vulnerabilities or to work resiliently with imperfect models. IARPA seeks to develop and incorporate novel technologies to efficiently probe large language models to detect and characterize LLM...
ARTS BAA Release The ARTS program aims to develop novel algorithms that will modify spontaneous speech in real-time to protect an individual’s...
The U.S. Government is interested in safe uses of large language models (LLMs) for a wide variety of applications including the rapid summarization and contextualization of information relevant to the Intelligence Community. These applications must avoid unwarranted biases and toxic outputs, preserve attribution to original sources, and be free of...
