IHMC researchers are working on natural language computer interfaces and digital companions for conversational understanding, with the aim of developing computerized assistants that accommodate a range of abilities, desires, and needs of users through adaptable natural language processing.  Managing a variety of both spoken and written natural language phenomena and adaptation to conversational conventions are central foci of research led by James Allen, Bonnie Dorr, and the late Yorick Wilks, and a team of internationally recognized scientists: Archna Bhatia, Adam Dalton, Greg Dubbin, Lucian Galescu, Kristy...

IHMC’s has pioneered the notion of Agile Computing – an approach to creating distributed networked systems that are adaptive, resilient, and opportunistic. Research in this area has ranged from intelligent network transport protocols to novel distributed coordination algorithms. Much of this research has been in support of austere networking environments such as disaster recovery...

IHMC’s has pioneered the notion of Agile Computing – an approach to creating distributed networked systems that are adaptive, resilient, and opportunistic. Research in this area has ranged from intelligent network transport protocols to novel distributed coordination algorithms. Much of this research has been in support of austere networking environments such as disaster recovery and tactical military networks. Exploiting research in intelligent systems and software agents contribute significantly to enhance performance of the overall system. At IHMC, this research is led by Niranjan Suri. Research in software agents and mobile agents were the foundation...

Advances in technology have made it ever easier to collect and store data.  While the amount of data has increased tremendously, data collection is often opportunistic: There is only limited control over what, when, and how much data is collected, leading to inconsistency and fragmentary and uneven coverage.  In addition, the connections one might...

Advances in technology have made it ever easier to collect and store data.  While the amount of data has increased tremendously, data collection is often opportunistic: There is only limited control over what, when, and how much data is collected, leading to inconsistency and fragmentary and uneven coverage.  In addition, the connections one might seek from the data are almost always non-deterministic and uncertain. Traditional statistical and logical analyses are inadequate in many of these situations. IHMC researchers James Allen, Greg Dubbin, Clark Glymour and Choh Man Teng work on a...
