This two-year, $198,375 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems will support the development of scalable and robust computational methods to advance artificial intelligence through innovations in deep learning with big imbalanced data. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, the grant aims to address data imbalance challenges that occur when training data for AI models does not adequately represent certain properties. The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station will investigate robust loss functions for deep learning through activities including developing scalable algorithms for non-decomposable robust losses, efficient online algorithms for distributionally robust optimization problems, and strategies for training neural networks by solving the considered non-decomposable robust losses. The algorithms will be evaluated on large, imbalanced datasets such as images, graphs and text to more effectively enable AI learning from big data with class imbalance.
