Automated Data Curation, Crosslinking & Document Generation
Customer Challenge
The Air Force requires a digital transformation solution to empower Program Management Offices in acquisition life cycle management by consolidating, curating, and crosslinking source documents feeding the myriad of reports, reviews, and milestone requirements within the DoD weapon system life cycle. Presently, developing and managing milestone documentation is time- and person-power intensive, with limited enabling technologies to assist.
Innovative Solution
Illumination Works is developing our artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Odin™ solution for Acquisition Milestone Documentation Automation (Odin-AMDA) to apply intelligent curation and data fusion techniques to organize and rapidly link documents to their role in milestone reports/activities. The Odin-AMDA human-machine teaming interface provides users a single location for collaborative development of milestone documents, with initial content autogenerated via AI and supplemented by a human-in-the-loop. The interface also serves as a program management tool, delivering intuitive visualizations for understanding program health, monitoring and versioning data, and managing users.
Benefits/Outcomes
- Applies AI-enabled processes to mine metadata and organize, curate, and version-control documents
- Leverages natural language processing (NLP) to crosslink feeder data to their role in milestone documents/events
- Applies AI and NLP to generate initial content for milestone documents based on the connected source data
- Combines AI and enterprise solution architecture to deliver a holistic, enterprise-level program management capability
- Provides Q&A-based AI assistant leveraging a RAG framework that allows users to ask questions using normal language and receive answers with the linked documents from which the answer is based
