Dr. Dylan Schmorrow, SoarTech Chief Scientist, has recently partnered with MITRE Corporation on the publication of Sociocultural Behavior Sensemaking: State of the Art in Understanding the Operational Environment. The book shows the significant progress in closing the research gaps and the advances made over the past decade in this domain. Each chapter of the book describes leading-edge research and development in this domain that could also be transitioned to active use. SoarTech has ongoing research to close some of these gaps, making it possible for software to understand and anticipate human reasoning. We are building intelligent systems for defense, government, and commercial applications that emulate human decision making in order to enhance user abilities. Since 1998, we’ve studied and modeled many kinds of human behavior in order to create software that “thinks the way people think:” constantly learning, getting smarter, and adapting to new times and situations. Much of this scientific base is encoded within our computational cognitive architecture, which enables the creation of autonomous software agents that can reason over large amounts of human-level knowledge. The end result for users is a system that is not just a tool in their hands, but a thinking partner. A free PDF version of the book is available on MITRE’s website, or you can purchase the book on Amazon.
Work related to this topic continues to be explored at SoarTech. To learn more, contact Dr. Dylan Schmorrow or Dr. Denise Nicholson, Director of X.
