Blog News

Tim and I decided to split this blog up into two:

  • This blog, SMiSC Roundup, tracks news about the DARPA solicitation and related technologies.
  • The sister blog, SMiSC Open Response, holds the discussions Tim and I have about the path to creation of a set of systems that can perform TA1 and TA2 duties.
Happy reading!

Visual Media Reasoning System


Oct 5 calls for a Visual Media Reasoning system to identify the who, what, where, when and noise troops may encounter in a field video or I would guess an image.  While not SMiSC news it could be used as part of our system to convert video into text.  For more information see

SMiSC Final Submissions

Final submissions for SMiSC was October 11th.  Therefor I expect we should start getting more news on the program in the coming months.
