So-called \u201cevents of interest\u201d can either create changes that have significant impact on national security, the notice stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA\u2019s program, called Knowledge-directed Artificial Intelligence Reasoning Over Schemas, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darpa.mil\/news-events\/2019-01-04\" target=_blank>KAIROS<\/a>, will use something called schema-based AI to better comprehend events around the world, specifically helping uncover complex events found in multimedia information and bring them to the attention of system users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schemas are units of knowledge that humans reference to make sense of events by organizing them into commonly occurring narrative structures, DARPA said. DARPA wants to create a schema-based AI that can \u201cenable contextual and temporal reasoning about complex real-world events in order to generate actionable understanding of these events and predict how they will unfold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program will be broken into four technical areas. DARPA said it anticipates multiple awards for the first two technical areas and single awards for the third and fourth technical areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency is hosting an industry day to learn more about the program Jan. 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new DARPA program seeks to use AI to better understand and predict world
