Computer searching for information

Researchers using DARPA grant to dig out of deluge of data

April 1, 2019

U.S. intelligence agencies take in a tremendous amount of data every single day. Some of the data is conflicting. Other bits are unrelated. Their job is to comb through it all for details that, when added together, create a clear image of what is actually happening. It’s a huge effort that CU Boulder researchers are attempting to make easier through artificial intelligence and natural language processing.
