OpportunityTitle: Competency-Aware Machine Learning (CAML)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government&apos;s needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA.  See the Eligibility Information section of the BAA for more information.
Description: The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of competency-awareness machine learning, whereby an autonomous system can self-assess its task competency and strategy and express both in a human-understandable form. This competency-awareness capability contributes to the goal of transforming autonomous systems from tools into trusted, collaborative partners. The resulting competency-aware machine learning systems will enable machines to control their behaviors to match user expectations and allow human operators to quickly and accurately gain insight into a system&#8217;s competence in complex, time-critical, dynamic environments. The Competency-Aware Machine Learning (CAML) program will, in this way, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of human-machine teaming. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science. DSO will exclude proposals that propose evolutionary improvement to the existing state of practice.
