Future infrastructures will be adaptive to comply with security policies established at the time of deployment and to allow systems to autonomously learn, by example, about acceptable changes in configuration and applications. Policies and trust inferences will be based on distributed similarity estimates within hierarchical functional groups which are autonomously formed as nodes exchange information about their configuration and state. These self-regulating and self-healing infrastructures will provide the much needed flexibility and robustness to enable system security and information assurance capabilities for future military and civilian tactical infrastructures. To realize this vision, IHMC research scientists...

IHMC researchers are working on natural language computer interfaces and digital companions for conversational understanding, with the aim of developing computerized assistants that accommodate a range of abilities, desires, and needs of users through adaptable natural language processing.  Managing a variety of both spoken and written natural language phenomena and adaptation to conversational conventions...

IHMC researchers are working on natural language computer interfaces and digital companions for conversational understanding, with the aim of developing computerized assistants that accommodate a range of abilities, desires, and needs of users through adaptable natural language processing.  Managing a variety of both spoken and written natural language phenomena and adaptation to conversational conventions are central foci of research led by James Allen, Bonnie Dorr, and the late Yorick Wilks, and a team of internationally recognized scientists: Archna Bhatia, Adam Dalton, Greg Dubbin, Lucian Galescu, Kristy...

A human-centered approach to visualization amplifies and extends human perceptual, cognitive, and performance capabilities, casting information into a form that exploits the unique properties of our perceptual system’s information processing capabilities. New visual displays being developed by IHMC researchers Larry Bunch, Tom Eskridge, Jeff Bradshaw, David Still, Matt Johnson, and...

A human-centered approach to visualization amplifies and extends human perceptual, cognitive, and performance capabilities, casting information into a form that exploits the unique properties of our perceptual system’s information processing capabilities. New visual displays being developed by IHMC researchers Larry Bunch, Tom Eskridge, Jeff Bradshaw, David Still, Matt Johnson, and Michael Vignati exploit current vision and neuroscience research to reinvent the presentation of information by harnessing the sophisticated processing power of the human visual system. These displays present data in a manner that allows the operator to understand the...
