- This five-year, $548,928 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will support research into developing robots that can learn about their environments through natural spoken language interactions with diverse groups of people. The principal investigator at the University of Maryland Baltimore County will study how robots can acquire an understanding of...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Southern California to develop innovative domain-specific architectures for enabling simultaneous translation at the edge. The goal is to design hardware accelerators for transformer-based simultaneous translation models that can reduce computation requirements by orders of magnitude while maintaining translation accuracy. Specific lines of research include input-centric dataflow and data reuse,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Project Grant award (CFDA 47.070) for $385,000 will enable the University of Maryland, College Park to develop artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can provide personalized, appropriate responses to users based on their individual background and needs. The project aims to first construct a diverse dataset to characterize preferred responses from different user groups, and then use this to train AI...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. This 3-year award aims to integrate semantic knowledge from large language models, such as ChatGPT, into automated decision-making and control systems to leverage their predictive capabilities while maintaining reliability and robustness. The...
- This three-year $800,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to advance understanding of large language models through mathematical and conceptual analysis. The Trustees of Princeton University will receive funding to develop simplified generative text models, analyze how language models are trained on such generated texts, examine why learned models can perform downstream tasks, and design new adaptation methods with...
- This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
- This $400,000 Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct collaborative research on the theoretical foundations of compositional learning in large language models based on transformer architectures. The research aims to investigate three key areas: model expressivity, statistical learning theory, and optimization, with...
This $392,993 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to develop more accessible and reliable machine translation technology. The University of Maryland, College Park will work with sub-awardee University of California, Berkeley to advance natural language processing and human-computer interaction techniques. Specifically, the project will create a conversational bot to guide lay users through text-based machine translation. The bot will help users write appropriate inputs, understand outputs, and recover from detected errors. It will rely on new quality estimation models to produce guidance. The resulting data, models, and design recommendations will expand the scope of explainable AI and interface design to better support users of language generation tools. The three-year project began March 1, 2022 and aims to conclude by February 28, 2025.
