What the grant funds
The overarching goal of the ANSR program is to advance hybrid AI algorithms, and develop evidence-based techniques that support confident assurance judgments for these algorithms. The program intends to explore diverse hybrid architectures that can be seeded with prior knowledge, acquire both statistical and symbolic knowledge through learning, and adapt learned representations. The program intends to demonstrate and evaluate hybrid AI techniques through DoD mission relevant use-cases where assurance and autonomy are mission critical.
