About this award
This is a $6,811,083 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the U.S. Army Office of the Chief of Staff to SRI International, a non-profit research institute, for the TROJAN DETECTION USING ATTRIBUTION, COUNTERFACTUALS, AND TOPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS (DECANT) program. The contract, which has no set-aside, funds the development of techniques to automatically inspect artificial intelligence (AI) systems for the presence of Trojan attacks that could cause the systems to misclassify inputs. SRI International is collaborating with the University of Houston and Stony Brook University as subcontractors to deliver the research and development work, which focuses on feedforward and recurrent neural networks used for tasks like image, audio, and text classification. The contract stems from a Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Army Materiel Command seeking proposals to advance methods for detecting Trojans in AI as part of the TrojAI program led by the Army Research Office and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity.
