·
Designed and implemented
a Link Analysis Workbench (LAW). LAW helps analysts and decision makers
identify security threats in very large data sets (evaluated on 10,000,000+
link data), by efficiently finding inexact matches to complex graphical
patterns. LAW has been deployed in an experimental interagency laboratory
within the intelligence community, and a paper describing LAW was named Best
Analysis in the 2005 Intelligence Analysis conference.
Implemented for LAW a web-based Graphical User Interface to edit patterns,
control the matching process and visualize the results.
·
Developed an algorithm
catalog for the intelligence community. This system selects and combines
appropriate IC data analysis algorithms (Pattern Matching, Group Discovery,
etc.) into complex workflows for the purpose of threat detection. Implemented
using Semantic Web technologies.
·
Prototyped a
combinatorial optimization algorithm, which selected questions as part a Task
Learning system for medical evacuations.
·
Implemented the scoring
of a Machine Learning platform designed to assist humans in everyday tasks by
learning from that individual person's actions.

·
Implemented the
underlying Ontology of a Structured Argumentation Collaborative platform.
·
Designed, developed and
integrated a system that allowed Subject Matter Experts to graphically and
rapidly populate large Knowledge Bases.
·
Developed a
cross-platform Knowledge Base Editor applicable to different Knowledge
Representation Systems.
·
Developed a generic
Ontology API, which was interoperable on different multiple KRS, written in
languages as different as Java and Lisp.
