Past Projects

	Aquaint: From Question-Answering to Information Seeking Dialogs From question-answering to information-seeking dialogs.
	A System for Representing Textbook Knowledge The goal of the project is to demonstrate the current state-of-the-art in knowledge representation by attempting to answer the questions in an advance placement test in chemistry.
	Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes As part of DARPA’s Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program, SRI and team members are working on developing a next-generation "Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes" (CALO).
	FASTUS A system for extracting information from free text.
	Knowledge Creation Tools for DAML This project is building ontologies and tools in support of the Semantic Web, as part of the DARPA Agent Markup Language program.
	Taskable Reactive Agent Communities (TRAC) The TRAC project developed mixed-initiative technology that enables flexible tasking and direction of agents by a user. Within TRAC, a user assigns tasks to agents along with guidance that imposes boundaries on agent behavior. During execution, the user manages agent activities in accord with a level of involvement that suits his individual needs. In essence, our work can be viewed as providing a form of process management technology that enables ready human control of agent communities.
