SGT Star
The SGT Star project brings the web-based character from GoArmy.com to a life-sized, realistic looking character who can visit conferences and travel in theArmy adventure vans. The character has revised content as well as different NLP technology behind his question-answering. The project directly follows SGT Blackwell, using the same classification approach to question answering.
