The Trustees of Indiana University were awarded a $492,552 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for a project titled "A MULTIDIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ORDER OF COMPOSITION OF HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS FROM TEXTUAL AND MATERIAL EVIDENCE." The grant will fund research from July 2021 through June 2023 to develop new techniques for determining the order in which historical manuscripts were composed by...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
The Trustees of Indiana University were awarded a $499k Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2024. The grant funds the "Designing Autonomy-Preserving Interactions in Intelligent Assistants for Older Adults" project being conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana. The project aims to develop intelligent assistant technologies that preserve user...
This Project Grant award of $43,823 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a collaborative effort to accelerate research on artificial and natural intelligences. The project, titled "ACCELNET-DESIGN: Accelerating Research Collaboration on Artificial and Natural Intelligences (ARCANI)," aims to build dialogue between major disciplines studying natural and artificial intelligence, produce a roadmap for...
This Project Grant award of $350,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (CFDA 47.075) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program aims to develop a simulation infrastructure to model the dynamic flow of information through human networks. The project will use agent-based modeling techniques to incorporate features of information flow, network structures, and agent characteristics in order to understand how information propagates and can be influenced. The primary benefit is to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $238,206 to develop the first digital resource charting the phonological structures of an extensively used yet underexplored spoken language variety. The project aims to advance knowledge of how speech evolves over time and across different regions, offering insights into how mobility, geography, and societal change influence language. The research will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research to develop a computational model that mimics how the human brain detects and repairs speech errors. The $686,537 project, awarded to Trustees of Indiana University, will build the largest publicly available multilingual database of speech errors and repairs across four languages - English,...
Bowdoin College received a $179,765 project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program to conduct collaborative research modeling word search processes in the mental lexicon. Over a three-year period from June 2023 through May 2026, the College will develop a unified computational framework to study lexical search and retrieval. Researchers from psycholinguistics, network science, and language modeling will design a gamified, web-based...
The Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, was awarded a $269,390 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049) federal grant program. The grant will fund research from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026 mapping semigroups and classifying conformal dynamical systems. Dynamical systems model phenomena like neural networks, epidemics, and weather patterns. This project...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $174,967 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to the Trustees of Indiana University. This 2-year project, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, aims to study how well machine language tools can grasp cultural nuances to enhance cross-cultural communication. The project will focus on developing a new knowledge base...
