UW leading computer study for Defense Department
The University of Washington is leading a five-year study by seven universities to help the military process vast amounts of computer information.
The purposes of the $6 million grant from the Army Research Office is to analyze data from sensors, monitors, drones and soldiers to predict an enemy's next move.
The UW computer science researcher leading the project, Pedro Domingos, says it will attempt to take machine learning and artificial intelligence to a more-complex level.
The results could have benefits beyond the military. For example, a computer could combine X-rays, test results and information from a patient to make a diagnosis.
Other universities on the team are Oregon State University, University of Texas at Austin, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Southern California, University of Rochester and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
