2024 SBIR Topics Round 2

SBIR/STTR Topics

The second round of SBIR Topics for DoD were released last week. As usual, we will go through any that are labeled as Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence – which looks like 13 SBIR and 9 STTR out of 176 total topics.

You can find the full list below in the Links, just search for Learning or Artificial.

2024 AI Symposium

The sessions from the Space and Rocket Center AI Symposium were recorded and just released on YouTube! Based on my notes from the sessions that I was able to attend, they range from high level overviews to in-depth use of AI. I believe that all of them would be considered practical rather than theoretical. Again – look for the link below.

Series (picking back up next week):

Over the next several sessions, we will be diving deeper into separate components needed for RAG – hopefully resulting in a chat-based Q&A service for the NASA Technical Report Server.  We were introduced to this data during our submission for the 2022 NASA SpaceApps Challenge – where we placed 2nd. Our submission was a semantic search based on the abstracts for the NSTR dataset of 10,000 papers.

Sessions from this series so far are being posted at https://hsv.ai/videos
