Research Focus Areas
The Technosocial Predictive Analytics Initiative (TPAI) is organized into the four research and development areas described below.
Technosocial Modeling
Projects in the Technosocial Modeling area will develop, implement, and evaluate new mathematical and statistical methods in predictive modeling for real-world scenarios.
Current projects:
- Vulnerability of Food Security and Energy Infrastructures to Climate Change and Terrorism
- Dynamic Scenarios for Organizations in Infrastructures
- Predicting the Impact of Climate Change on U.S. Power Grids and Its Wider Implications on National Security
- Impact of Energy Consumption
Knowledge Inputs
Projects selected for the Knowledge Inputs area will 1) leverage computer aided content/signal extraction and analysis for marshaling actionable evidence and 2) use knowledge-representation methods to encapsulate and access expert knowledge and marshaled evidence.
Current project:
Cognitive Enhancement
Work in the Cognitive Enhancement area will exploit visual interactivity and enhanced cognition techniques within a serious gaming paradigm to empower the user in the modeling task.
