Information Innovation Office (I2O)

I2O Office Header Image

The Information Innovation Office (I2O) develops game-changing information science and technology to ensure information advantage for the U.S. and its allies. To accomplish this, I2O sponsors basic and applied research in three thrust areas: Cyber, Analytics, and Symbiosis. More

Highlights

Cyber Grand Challenge

Cyber Grand Challenge

DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge is a first-of-its-kind tournament designed to speed the development of automated security systems able to defend against cyberattacks as fast as they are launched.
DARPA Perspective on AI

DARPA Perspective on AI

DARPA's Information Innovation Office (I2O) has created a perspective on AI that describes the powerful new developments, current research challenges, and how DARPA is advancing the state of the art.
XAI is addressing the need for machine-learning systems able to explain their rationale, characterize their strengths and weaknesses, and convey an understanding of how they will behave in the future.

Insight

Mr. Steve Jameson
Military intelligence analysts face the monumental and escalating task of analyzing massive volumes of complex data from multiple, diverse sources such as physical sensors, human contacts and contextual databases. These analysts consume and process information from all available sources to provide mission-relevant, timely insights to commanders. To enhance this largely manual process, analysts require more effective and efficient means to receive, correlate, analyze, report and share intelligence. More

Leveraging the Analog Domain for Security (LADS)

Dr. Angelos Keromytis
LADS will develop a new protection paradigm that separates security-monitoring functionality from the protected system, focusing on low-resource, embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The program will explore technologies to associate the running state of a device with its involuntary analog emissions across different physical modalities including, but not limited to, electromagnetic emissions, acoustic emanations, power fluctuations and thermal output variations.

Low Resource Languages for Emergent Incidents (LORELEI)

Dr. Boyan Onyshkevych
The U.S. Government operates globally and frequently encounters so-called “low-resource” languages for which no automated human language technology capability exists. Historically, development of technology for automated exploitation of foreign language materials has required protracted effort and a large data investment. Current methods can require multiple years and tens of millions of dollars per language—mostly to construct translated or transcribed corpora. More

Media Forensics (MediFor)

Mr. David Gunning
Historically, the U.S. Government deployed and operated a variety of collection systems that provided imagery with assured integrity. In recent years however, consumer imaging technology (digital cameras, mobile phones, etc.) has become ubiquitous, allowing people the world over to take and share images and video instantaneously. Mirroring this rise in digital imagery is the associated ability for even relatively unskilled users to manipulate and distort the message of the visual media. More
