Reinforcement Learning with Intelligent Context-based Exploration (RL-ICE)
SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: SCO182006This effort will extend the RL-ICE capability for low-shot object detection to operate with zero real data within the MWIR band (zero-shot learning). Our goal is to 1.) mature our software, 2.) maximize the performance benefit of synthetic data in training an object detector and, 3.) assess the trade-space of real vs synthetic data by comparing performance to a detector trained on fully real data. ...

NANOSTRUCTURED PD-ANF COMPOSITES FOR CONTROLLED LENR EXPLOITATION
SBC: AMPHIONIC LLC Topic: AEnergy production has been dominated by hydrocarbon fuels, which are plentiful, cheap, and delivered through an efficient and widespread infrastructure. However, because the combustion of those fuels results in airborne pollutants and CO2 emission, there has been an intense effort to replace those combustion technologies with low-cost, low-emission energy sources. Low-energy nuclear reactions (LEN ...
