Current Projects

Integrated Learning The Integrated Learning project is focused on developing machine learning technology that would enable a system to learn general planning knowledge from user demonstrations of processes.

Past Projects

	Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes As part of DARPA’s Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program, SRI and team members are working on developing a next-generation "Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes" (CALO).
	TransPAL: Transitioning PAL Technologies The TransPAL project is transitioning a number of technologies developed on the DARPA PAL program for use by various members of the Armed Services.
