RADAR - Reflective Agents with Distributed Adaptive ReasoningThe RADAR project is building and empirically evaluating a cognitive assistant that learns to help a human user in situations of intense information overload. The specific kind of information overload considered by RADAR is a flood of inbound email messages in a "crisis" situation.The DetailsRADAR's user is constantly bombarded with situation reports, requests for briefings, and various other requests for information and information-related work products. Inbound email messages contain updates of constraints and other information that the human user must identify, understand, and process to execute his or her job. This sort of information overload in a crisis situation is representative of a large class of problems that arise in both the military and commercial worlds. RADAR can be viewed as a cognitive prosthetic. It does not get in the way of its user in situations where the user has strengths or where the user wants to take control. But RADAR does provide cognitive assistance in those situations in which the user has limited capacity to handle information or in which the user has no interest in exercising control.
