DARPA is offering this grant to solicit innovative research proposals in Deep Learning (DL), aiming to build a universal machine learning engine. This grant is for developing an engine that uses a single set of methods across at least three internal layers, generating progressively sophisticated representations of patterns, invariants, and correlations from diverse data inputs. The engine is expected to be applicable to multiple input modalities with only pre-processing adjustments, and critically, it must learn important characteristics and produce useful representations solely from unlabeled inputs. Accomplishing program tasks will necessitate the engine’s capability to produce and utilize sophisticated spatio-temporal representations, pushing the boundaries of machine learning capabilities.

| Description: | DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of deeply layered machine learning or, simply, Deep Learning (DL). Over the course of the envisioned program, performer teams will build a universal machine learning engine that uses a single set of methods in multiple layers (at least three internally) to generate progressively more sophisticated representations of patterns, invariants, and correlations from data inputs. The engine is expected to be applicable to multiple input modalities given only changes to the inputs preprocessing, and is expected to be able to learn important characteristics of the inputs and produce useful representations solely on the basis of unlabeled inputs. Accomplishing many of the tasks set by the program will require that the engine be able to produce and utilize sophisticated spatio-temporal representations. |
