Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL)
Abstract
(U) The Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program enables intelligence in information processing systems so that critical DoD systems can better support the warfighter. PAL systems will have embedded learning capabilities that will allow them to retain prior learned knowledge, apply this knowledge to new scenarios and ultimately provide faster and more effective assistance. Overall, the ability to learn will enable the performance of a PAL system to improve over time. Cognitive systems technologies developed in this program will be applied and demonstrated in ongoing and future Command and Control Systems programs. (U) The PAL program is creating the first comprehensive system that will dramatically empower commanders to understand all aspects of the current military situation, radically reduce manpower and labor required in command posts and in the field, and automate the massive number of administrative and analytical tasks characteristic of today’s command centers. PAL capabilities will result in the ability to turn diverse, multi-source data into actionable information for commanders and warfighters; dramatic manpower reductions; corporate memory retention of both the larger conflict history and the history of each specific command center; and intelligent information presentation. (U) PAL will create an intelligent desktop assistant that enables users to create and share routines to discover, manipulate, and exploit data, services and web content. This work will extend the emerging web services paradigm to produce semantically-enabled search and processing capabilities that make it easier to find information on the Internet and get it into the form a user needs. Ultimately this work will yield cognitive search agents that greatly reduce the time it takes users to find and process information.
