HRL Explores “Sensemaking” for Better Intelligence as Part of IARPA’s ICArUS Program
MALIBU, Calif., December 6, 2010—HRL Laboratories, LLC, announced today it has received an award from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) to explore groundbreaking computational models for “sensemaking”—or the human ability to identify and explain relationships among sparse or ambiguous data. The goal of IARPA’s Integrated Cognitive-Neuroscience Architectures for Understanding Sensemaking, or ICArUS Program is to understand and model the neural processes underlying sensemaking to improve intelligence analysis.
“A central aspect of our approach is to study how the brains of experts learn to efficiently extract and encode information in task-relevant dimensions,” said Dr. Rajan Bhattacharyya, principal investigator. “We will study how diverse neural processes such as attention and memory consolidation are organized and evolve as the intelligence analyst develops expertise.”
This research is part of HRL’s Center for Neural and Emergent Computational Systems.
