Overview: The U.S. Office of Naval Research Training Technology R&D

摘要

The U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) has a long, continuous, and distinguished tradition of support for research and development of advanced technologies for application to military training. This paper provides an overview of the history and structure of those research programs with emphasis on areas of major current activity: (1) basic research on tutorial dialog aiming for true natural language interaction capability for artificially intelligent training systems; (2) effective instructional strategies for artificially intelligent coaching in dynamically evolving situations such as instrument flying, shipboard command information center tasks, and shipboard damage control and (3) the integration of artificially intelligent coaches into virtual reality simulators.
