About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to President And Fellows Of Harvard College on August 1, 2020. With a potential value of $1,000,000, this other transaction authority contract has no set-aside designations and aims to advance federated machine learning techniques for speech recognition while maintaining two-sided privacy.
The statement of objectives indicates this contract will develop new methods for distributed deep learning that enable multiple parties to collaboratively train artificial intelligence models on speech data without exposing their private training datasets. By partitioning model parameters and gradients across participating organizations, the prime contractor will design a federated learning system capable of training acoustic and language models at scale while cryptographically guaranteeing no individual samples or updates are shared in the clear. This supports DARPA's goals of harnessing artificial intelligence for national security applications without compromising proprietary data sources or individual privacy. Performance is expected to take place at locations controlled by President And Fellows Of Harvard College.
