NAVY TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATION - Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Develop Capabilities and Impact Mission Success

Consistent with the Navy objective, Oceanit is working from foundations in cognitive science, philosophy, and themathematics of computability theory to create anthronoetic AI (a.k.a. strong AI): human-level/human-style AIcapacitated with the linguistic competence to generate causal explanatory models via the Popperian philosophy of critical rationalism: given a set of big or small data, Oceanit’s AI—named NoME (the noetic mathematical engine)—constructs a Chomskyan “grammar” (i.e., explicit theories/programs) to model causal relations, thereby transcending (but obviously including) descriptions that answer what is being observed, transforming data into evidence for/against conjectured explanations that answer why and how the data—or, to be precise, the phenomena underlying the data—exist and behave.
