The University of California, San Diego received a $375,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "Towards Holistic Bias Mitigation in Computer Vision Systems" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The award is funded through the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education in all areas of computing, communications, and information science and engineering.
Under this award, UC San Diego researchers will develop methods to identify and mitigate biases in computer vision systems. They will conduct research to advance the holistic understanding of biases in visual data and machine learning models used in applications such as facial analysis, object detection, and image captioning. The three-year award will support research to help make computer vision technologies more broadly beneficial to society.
