Semantic Forensics (SemaFor)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks to develop technologies through the Semantic Forensics program to automatically detect, attribute, and characterize falsified multi-modal media assets such as text, audio, images, and video. Proposals are due by November 21, 2019 for consideration for multiple awards in detection and challenge areas and single awards in explanation and evaluation. Technologies must establish semantic methods for analyzing media to determine if content was generated or manipulated, attribute media to particular organizations or individuals, and characterize whether media was generated or manipulated for malicious purposes. Evaluations will assess progress towards analyzing large-scale falsified communications over 3-5 years.
There is no set-aside designation for this pre-solicitation notice. The NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is R425. Awards are expected to range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per year for 3-5 years. The program intends to issue multiple awards for detection technologies and challenge curation, with single awards for explanation of results and evaluation of progress towards analyzing large-scale falsified communications over 3-5 years.
