Nature of Requirements:
Title: Self improving inference prototype (SIIS) for the
intelligence preparation of theBattlefield (IPB) and
intelligence preparation of the operational Environment (IPOE)
The Statement of Work (SOW) describe the services required by
Defence R&D Canada - Valcartier (DRDC Valcartier) aimed at
carrying out the following objectives :
The objectives of the work are:
The development of a self improving inference prototype to
support the IPB/IPOE processes.
Support the demonstration, validation, and experimentation with
the prototype.
Background
DRDC Valcartier has undertaken a research and development (R&D)
Applied Re-search Projects (ARP) entitled "Self Improving
Inference System (SIIS) to Support the Intelligence Preparation
of the Battlefield (IPB) Process".
The main objective of the SIIS project is to produce a prototype
of a self improving inference system to support the analysis and
sensemaking aspects of the Intelligence Preparation of the
Battlefield/Intelligence Preparation of the Operational
En-vironment (IPB/IPOE). This prototype must be capable of
learning and improving based on both its current performance and
operator feedback.
The objective of the current contract is to develop a self
improving inference proto-type to support the IPB/IPOE
processes. The prototype must be integrated in, and leverage as
much of the Intelligence Science and Technology Integration
Platform (ISTIP) inference tools as is possible.
In order to achieve the project objectives, this contract will
carry out 7 tasks.
Task 1: Define CBR Situation Templates
Task 2: Define Preliminary Similarity Measures
Task 3: Choose Relevant learning Approaches to Support CBR
Task 4: Implement learning Algorithms to supprot CBR
Task 5: Develop Self-improving inference prototype
Task 6: Demonstration and validation
Task 7: Project Management
Client department
The services will be rendered to Defence Research and
Development Canada (DRDC-Valcartier).
Period of the contract :
