Discovery Machine®

What Discovery Machine® does

Discovery Machine® is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Company founded in 1999. They build operational systems utilizing patented technology and methodology to deploy captured mental models in situationally aware, goal-directed, voice-enabled AI Constructs that replicate human experts. Their solutions provide on-demand, high fidelity behaviors to enhance performance support, mission rehearsal, planning, wargaming, and training. They offer comprehensive services from initial solution scoping to delivery, maintenance, and support, aiming to deliver efficiency gains, reduce operating costs, and enhance team experiences. Discovery Machine leverages a wide range of AI techniques from knowledge acquisition (KA) to machine learning (ML) to develop AI for training, decision support and automation, overcoming limitations of ML in sparse data environments by capturing mental models from subject matter experts.

Products

• Knowledge Service Engine (KSE)An AI engine that enables AI constructs (agents) to perform cognitive decision-making in data-sparse environments. It provides an execution engine for Discovery Machine AI Constructs, enables trust in AI with traceable, explainable, and visual model execution, and supports on-prem and cloud deployment options. It also supports the Multi-level Universal Standard for Intelligent Constructs (MUSIC) specification for interoperability. Each seat supports up to 500 AI Constructs running concurrently in a single event.
• Human Communication Recognition (HCR) SystemAn add-on for KSE that supports fully conversational AI Constructs, leveraging machine learning for natural language understanding and generation.
• Spatial Awareness Active Reasoning (SpAAR)An add-on for KSE that empowers AI Constructs to interpret their surroundings by providing real-time spatial information to enhance AI cognitive decision-making.
• DMI DashboardOffers user interfaces and insights into AI Construct behavior.
• Custom MUSIC SimulationsImmersive training simulations that can be deployed in an open framework (MAES2TRO®) for deploying AI constructs and simulations in various environments.
• AI Constructs (AI agents)AI agents that perform cognitive decision-making, including AI Role Players, AI Instructors, AI Advisors, and AI Commanders.
