DARPA Launches ‘Big Code’ Initiative

May 5, 2014 |

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is attempting to take big data analytics to the next level through a “big code” project designed to improve overall software reliability through a large-scale repository of software that drives big data. Read more…

DARPA Seeks to Unlock Big Data Mechanisms

Feb 24, 2014 |The world is awash in data, and yet the ability to connect it all in meaningful ways seems to be drifting further out of reach. Enter the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which last month announced a new project aimed at building new models that drive insight into the inner workings of complicated systems, such as ecosystems, brains, and economic and social systems. Read more…

Bringing Dark Data to Light

May 8, 2013 |One of the chief challenges of big data, especially where established science and research is concerned, is bringing what is called “dark data” – the data that is hidden in tables and texts of the massive stores of scientific journals – to light. A research team is working on this problem combining several research areas into a potentially powerful tool. Read more…

How DARPA Does Big Data

Aug 15, 2012 |This week we step back to see how the recent U.S government's push to further big data technologies is panning out--and how a military intelligence research agency like DARPA is addressing their own set of specific challenges. We zoom in on a number of specifics projects, including Mind's Eye, PROCEED, XDATA and others to gain a.... Read more…

7 Big Winners in the U.S. Big Data Drive

Apr 5, 2012 |Last week the U.S. announced a formalized approach to big data through its newly-minted Big Data Initiative. Under the new program, a number of unique projects that focus on data management, collaboration, analytics, visualization and more have received the breath of life. We've narrowed down seven out of the dozens that.... Read more…
