Carnegie Mellon University was awarded a $193,532 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields.
Under the grant, Carnegie Mellon University will conduct research to improve techniques of automatic speech recognition and transfer learning using documentary linguistic corpora. The goal is to contribute to scientific knowledge in these areas over the course of the three-year project period ending May 31, 2025. As the sole sub-awardee, Carnegie Mellon University will leverage its expertise in linguistics and machine learning to deliver research products and services aimed at advancing techniques for processing and analyzing large sets of linguistic data through automated means.
