Information Processing Technology Office

The Information Processing Technology Office is an agency of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency whose stated mission is:

[To] create a new generation of computational and information systems that possess capabilities far beyond those of current systems. These cognitive systems - systems that know what they're doing:

  • will be able to reason, using substantial amounts of appropriately represented knowledge;
  • will learn from their experiences and improve their performance over time;
  • will be capable of explaining themselves and taking naturally expressed direction from humans;
  • will be aware of themselves and able to reflect on their own behavior;
  • will be able to respond robustly to surprises, in a very general way.

IPTO Research Projects

  • LifeLog, an IPTO project "to trace the 'threads' of an individual's life in terms of events, states, and relationships" by creating "an ontology-based (sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one person’s experience in and interactions with the world in order to support a broad spectrum of associates/assistants and other system capabilities."
