A Deeper Dive
Crucible seeks to further explore speech to data and/or text technologies, developing concepts, or platforms to improve communication during missions and operational transcription such as AI/Machine Learning.
Potential areas include (but are not limited to): Natural language processing: chatbots, virtual assistants, speech recognition; computer visualization: object detection, image classification; deep learning: neural networks, advanced algorithms, fraud detection
As external threats persist we must remain constant in our efforts to compete and advance against adversaries for our warfighters. In many instances consideration for base communication is critical. For example an evaluation of data intake from analysts of the Naval Destroyer during a performance assessment highlighted the laborious human data collection process which often caused missed communication, and a lag in transcription.
