]> 2004-09-10T13:00:00-05:00 Our new office agenda combines work in a number of disciplines, looking to build integrated intelligent systems that improve their performance over time in many different ways. We also seek to improve our understanding of how to evaluate progress in this multidisciplinary area, and to determine and resolve the most important technical risks to the long-term vision. I will outline our overall vision of cognitive systems as systems that truly know what they're doing, and show how our current and emerging funding programs fit into the overall vision. I will also present briefly some of our newer programs and potential upcoming opportunities for the research community to work with our office to help us realize our ambitious goals. ]]>
