Cortical Processor*
Abstract
*Formerly Complexity Management Hardware The Cortical Processor program aims to develop algorithms and hardware that can better handle the increasingly large and diverse sensor data streams used by battlefield systems. By leveraging advances in machine learning, the program could yield systems with the flexibility to understand and adapt to new contexts and new types of sensed data (e.g. new radio frequency or infrared signals). Current sensor platforms, conversely, are pre-programmed only to interpret specific data types and require a laborious coding effort to accommodate new types of data or contexts. Cortical Processor will develop hardware implementations that gracefully handle multiple data streams and limit the programming burden required for sensing and interpreting a complex scenario. The program will further be enabled by bio-inspired algorithms that benefit from research into biological learning and data processing. Cortical Processor's applied research component will investigate silicon circuit designs that are most suitable for high-performance, low-power, real-time sensing and data processing.
