Abstract

Text classification and machine learning technologies are being investigated for use in supporting knowledge management requirements in military command centers. Military communities of interest are beginning to use blogs and related tools for information sharing, providing a comparable environment to the use of blogs for system requirement discussions. This paper describes the work in the area being performed under the Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Comparisons are then made to how the technology could provide similar capabilities for a requirements analysis environment. An additional discussion of how the task learning capabilities from PAL could also benefit requirements analysis in a rapid prototyping process is provided.
