Noah Friedland, program manager at Vulcan Inc., is currently developing the “Digital Aristotle”—a staged, long-term research and development initiative that aims to develop an application capable of answering novel questions and solving advanced problems in a broad range of scientific disciplines.
The Digital Aristotle is being developed with a focus on two primary functions: as a tutor capable of instructing and assessing students in the sciences, and as a research assistant with broad, interdisciplinary skills to help scientists in their work.
Friedland holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland, where he studied under the late Azriel Rosenfeld.

Similarly, in Project Halo's first contest, Noah Friedland, the program manager responsible for the project at Vulcan, stuck to a very well-defined problem, the chemistry advanced-placement exam.
One way Halo exemplified an advance in methodology, Friedland notes, was that in the chemistry test, the AI systems had to explain their answers.
Friedland says, "If the systems can produce comparable results to Halo I, that would be a major achievement.

 The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Vulcan project aims to build 'Digital Aristotle'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Noah Friedland, Vulcan's program manager and a computer scientist who has worked on projects for the military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, said the project is moving to a second early stage of development.
But there were two weaknesses: It cost $70,000 a page to input, and while engineers were good at making the computer reason and respond to questions, they didn't know enough chemistry to help it get a better grade.
Friedland said the first test showed the computer was good at answering quantitative questions, such as: If you mix two chemicals in a solution, what will be its pH?

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has claimed preliminary success in Project Halo, a hitherto secret project to enable computers to answer questions they've never seen before and to state their reasoning.
The project's early phases are limited to facts in hard science, so Allen's Vulcan Inc. investment arm stands a better chance of success than did earlier, sweeping AI projects seeking to reduce all human knowledge to computer-readable form, said project manager Noah Friedland.
The project may result in technology that could, for example, replace the one-third of the work force at Amazon.com handling customer service, he said.

 "Digital Aristotle" Project Moves To Phase 2
Three AP Chemistry teachers were called in to administer the tests, which went surprisingly well: scores averaged about a 3, ranging from 1 to 5.
The team structures have expanded since the first phase of the project, Friedland said, to reflect the greater breadth of the second phase.
If the standardized tools are developed, Friedland said, the researchers must then convince scientists to use them.

 Allen claims success in work on computers that can reason
By limiting the amount of knowledge to be encompassed, and confining it to facts, Allen's privately held Vulcan Inc. investment arm stands a better chance of success than did earlier, sweeping AI projects seeking to reduce all human knowledge to computer-readable form, said project manager Noah Friedland.
But embracing all knowledge is indeed the project's long-term goal, Friedland said.
That alone cost about $10,000 per page per team, a price that will have to come down for the technology to be practical, Friedland said.
