DARPA, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has funded some portion of the development of almost every major NLP application, including machine translation, information retrieval, speech recognition, information extraction, text summarization, sentiment analysis,
and dialogue processing. To address important needs with new capabilities DARPA needs to look beyond the cutting edge for key enabling technologies. This talk outlines the some of the directions that DARPA researchers are currently exploring.
