JOLTER: Joint Learning of Topics, Entities, Events and Relations
SBC: LANGUAGE COMPUTER CORPORATION Topic: DTRA152005In Phase II of JOLTER, we will develop several extensions and improvements upon the probabilistic graphical models developed in Phase I for discovering topics, entities, and relations jointly. The system will be able to (1) Discover and extend hierarchies of topics, entities, and relations; (2) Discover categories for events, multiway relations, and their roles; (3) Conditionalize the topics, ent ...

Advanced Fast Shutter for Debris Mitigation
SBC: HYPERION TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC Topic: DTRA143007In an effort to development more robust optical system coatings DTRA, in collaboration with Sandia National Labs, is working to characterize the degradation of optical materials for space systems when exposed to high intensely EUV/ cold x-rays. The experiments utilizes the Double Eagle z-pinch facility which generates high current, high voltage arc pinch plasma to produce an intense EUV and cold x ...

Knowledge Exploitation and Population for Event Reasoning (KEPLER) Phase II
SBC: LANGUAGE COMPUTER CORPORATION Topic: DTRA143005In Phase II of KEPLER, we will develop a prototype Knowledge Base (KB) expansion system that employs rich common-sense knowledge resources to perform high-quality scalable inference over a KB. The system will be able to (1) extract event parameters, event constructs, ontological relationships, definitional effects and inferences, and quantitative expectations from open text and structured resource ...

Novel Munition Technologies to Attack and Defeat Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
SBC: HYPERION TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC Topic: DTRA143004Traditional weapon systems often fail to meet the requirements of close combat typical of the previously discussed engagement, where insurgents often blend in or store weapon amongst friendly or non-combatant forces, to shield them from precision strike munitions of a technologically superior force. This type of warfare has led to an increased focus on the use of less-lethal weapons, to reduce let ...

Plan Learning Across Textual Observations (PLATO)
SBC: LANGUAGE COMPUTER CORPORATION Topic: DTRA162004In Phase I of PLATO (Plan Learning Across Textual Observations ), Language Computer Corporation will explore how best to migrate state-of-the-art plan recognition techniques to the more complex genre of textual data addressing such issues as varied textual inputs, diverse subject matter domains, changes in agent plans and goals, unclear or underspecified temporal relationships between actions, an ...

Machine learning for standoff detection of Special Nuclear Material (SNM)
SBC: CLOSTRA INC Topic: DTRA162001"Deep Learning for standoff detection of Special Nuclear Material (DLeN) applies the same deep learning techniques that allow computers to beat human performance in image recognition and the game of Go to detecting Special Nuclear Material. Spectral analysis and signal processing can in some cases be augmented by the use of much larger neural nets that conduct much deeper analysis of features of t ...

Portable, Fieldable, Non- Helium-3 Based Neutron Multiplicity Counter
SBC: PROPORTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: DTRA162007Neutron coincidence counters are currently based on 3H technology. A worldwide 3He shortage plus the need for significant improvements in performance necessitate the development of a new class of neutron detectors. We propose the use of boron-coated straw (BCS) detectors, consisting of 4 mm diameter copper tubes lined with 10B-enriched boron carbide (10B4C). Previous studies have shown that BCS de ...

Field-Deployable, High Resolution, High Pressure Xenon Gamma Ray Spectrometer
SBC: PROPORTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: DTRA05006There is a need for the detection and characterization of specific radioisotopes in the interest of homeland security, treaty verification, and customs. Current high resolution spectrometers require operating temperatures at liquid nitrogen levels and are highly expensive to maintain. Other spectrometers which operate at room temperatures do not afford the resolution required to distinguish and id ...

Rad Effects in Semiconductor Electronics
SBC: Silicon Space Technology Corporation Topic: DTRA05001Silicon Space Technology and team member ATK Mission Research, along with Jazz Semiconductor, propose to demonstrate a comprehensive methodology for TCAD simulation using leading-edge Synopsys tools. These tools are capable of 3-D process and device simulation, enabling Mixed-Mode simulations studies of radiation particles with silicon devices and their response to the circuit. We will collabora ...
