The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, specifically for the topic of "Generative Text Engine for Form Completion". The Navy branch of the DOD is interested in exploring the application of Generative Text artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate the filling in of text-based data collection forms. The desired solution should generate a general-purpose curation/creation text engine that can complete a variety of text-based forms and incorporate technical terminology appropriate for specific usage domains. The engine should be designed to be useful with minimal compute and without immediate or sustained connection to cloud-based processing resources. The proposal should describe the key technologies being used and the associated data usage rights. The concept being proposed should demonstrate the use of generative text algorithms to curate text entries as they are being created. The solution should focus on a workflow/process for a prompting dialog between the generative text engine and the user, rather than developing large language models. The solution should be scalable for use on PCs, tablets, and phones with limited connectivity to a local server and be cloud-connected, but not cloud-dependent. The project will be conducted in two phases, with Phase I involving research in open source Large Language Models (LLMs) and Phase II involving the development of a viable prototype tool for form completion. The developed tools are expected to have dual-use applications and be applicable to a broad range of form completion applications. The proposal submission deadline is February 21, 2024.
