Past Projects

	A Knowledge Entry System for Subject Matter Experts The goal of SHAKEN project is to enable subject matter experts , without any assistance from AI technologists, to assemble the models of processes and mechanisms so that questions about them can be answered by declarative inference and simulation.
	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).
	HARP: Human Augmented Reasoning through Patterning This project developed: 1) cognitive aids that allow humans and machines to "think together" in real-time about complicated problems; 2) techniques to overcome the biases and limitations of the human cognitive system; 3) "cognitive amplifiers" that help teams of people rapidly and fully comprehend complicated and uncertain situations; and, 4) the means to rapidly and seamlessly cut across and complement existing hierarchical organizational structures.
	High Performance Knowledge Bases The goal of the project is to enable rapid construction of knowledge bases by knowledge engineers.
	Reusable Tools for Knowledge Base and Ontology Development The Goal of this project is to develop knowledge base tools that can be used with multiple knowledge representation systems.
	The Link Analysis Workbench The goal of this project is to develop the Link Analysis Workbench (LAW), a Web-accessible tool where analysts and machines collaboratively perform link analysis by defining hierarchical and temporal patterns, that include uncertain and qualitative elements, and by defining search strategies for pattern application, through a graphical user interface that supports direct graphical browsing and editing of patterns, search strategies, and summaries and details of resulting matches.

Software

LAW: Link Analysis Workbench LAW is a system that helps intelligence professionals define and match patterns within large, incomplete, and noisy sets of relational data.
