Reinforcement Learning for Information Asset Valuation and Selection
About the Research
This research opportunity is to develop a novel method for information asset selection, filtering, prioritization. Specifically, this opportunity will develop and validate a concept and approach for selecting the most relevant and valuable information for presentation and sharing from a collection of streaming sensor data. This project focuses on utilizing state-of-the-art reinforcement algorithms to 1) dynamically learn from multi-agent actions and context, 2) evaluate the environment and uncertainty, and 3) optimize information sharing and consumption. The key technical areas in this project include reinforcement learning, graphical neural network, information theory, probability, and stochastic process.
About CISD
The Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD) conducts research in a variety of disciplines relevant to achieving and implementing the so-called digital battlefield. Problems address the sensing, distribution, analysis, and display of information in the modern battle space. CISD research focuses on four major areas: communications, atmospheric modeling, battlefield visualization, and computing.
