A-YZ Corp., Winchester Mass., has been awarded a $7,166,660 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to create the capability to perform inference on real-world problems with 100 times “bigger” models than previously known to be achievable.  “Bigger” models can translate into orders of magnitude, less training data required, less computation required for inference, and more accurate results.  The contractor will develop and deliver a software prototype that will offer inference performance equal to or greater than 1e6-1e9 Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MH MCMC) samples per second and approximately 1e2-1e5 greater inference performance than existing systems.  The innovations that will enable this capability are new forms of map-reduce based parallel inference on the cloud leveraging both a diversity of existing solvers as well as exploring the assimilation of certain core solvers into a more mathematically integrated and computationally efficient form.  Work will be performed at Winchester, Mass., and is expected to be complete by Aug. 30, 2017.  This award is the result of a competitive acquisition via an open Broad Agency Announcement, DARPA BAA No. 13-31; offers were solicited electronically, and 78 offers were received.  Fiscal 2013 research and development funds in the amount of $311,842 are being obligated at time of award.  Air Force Research Laboratory/RIKF, Rome N.Y., is the contracting activity (FA8750-14-C-0001).
