DARPA's Role in Machine Learning
J. Alspector, Thomas G. Dietterich · AI Magazine · 2020
Machine learning methods provide a way for artificial intelligence systems to learn from experience. This article describes four threads of machine learning research supported and guided by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — probabilistic modeling for speech recognition, probabilistic relational models, the integration of multiple machine learning approaches into a task‐specific system, and neural network technology. These threads illustrate the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency way of creating timely advances in a field.
