Machine Reading and Reasoning Technology

Abstract

The Machine Reading and Reasoning Technology program will develop enabling technologies to acquire, integrate, and use high performance reasoning strategies in knowledge-rich domains. Such technologies will provide DoD decision makers with rapid, relevant knowledge from a broad spectrum of sources that may be dynamic and/or inconsistent. To address the significant challenges of context, temporal information, complex belief structures, and uncertainty, new capabilities are needed to extract key information and metadata, and to exploit these via context-capable search and inference. Cognitive inference has traditionally emphasized deduction via theorem-proving and induction via statistical techniques, but abduction - also known as "inference to the best explanation"- is also likely to play a large role.
