Our Work
Artificial intelligence
Grey Matters Defense Solutions has great expertise in processing large amounts of data and has utilized
- Supervised learning – Training data is labeled with the desired output. Supervised machine learning requires large amounts of labeled data to accurately train neural networks to solve a particular problem.
- Semi-supervised – Structure in data is leveraged to create automated pseudo-tags
- Unsupervised learning – Learning from untagged-data (ie: machine does 90% of the work) This method enables the team to use much less “known or tagged” data to train the neural network. The amounts vary with the complexity of the problem.
The Grey Matters Defense Solutions team applies these techniques to:
- Machine learning algorithms and models like principle component analysis, gradient boosting machines, random forests, and cluster analysis
- Leading-edge deep learning methods for training neural networks to achieve State-of-the-Art performance on natural language processing, computer vision, automatic target recognition, and super-resolution
- Training artificial intelligence agents for optimal decision making in complex and dynamic environments
- Applying advanced machine learning techniques, to help overcome the problem of producing results with a limited training set.
Collection Synchronization
GMDS has operationally focused tools providing target-focused dynamic tasking. The tools coordinate tasking across multiple collection platforms, all of which are designed to enhance rapid decision making in response to high-priority threats in time-critical environments. The end result provides users with situational awareness and target-focused dynamic tasking across multiple platforms. Grey Matters Defense Solutions provides advanced machine-to-machine communication methods to rapidly move data to users that need it, effectively decreasing the collection cycle. Tactical reporting across the enterprise; shortening the tasking, collection processing, exploitation, and dissemination timeline and allowing the ability to support object custody workflow management.
