Bootstrap Learning: The Bootstrapped Learning Project

The Bootstrapped Learning Project seeks to develop an electronic student capable of being taught new concepts through natural human instruction. There are many facets to the challenge of building an instructable student, and we are participating in a multi-team DARPA program focussed on this problem. We are developing algorithms to notice information and patterns that are not the explicit subject of the lesson being taught, both in teacher/student dialog and world events.
