The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $472,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, a non-profit 1862 land grant college, to develop a general framework for designing and analyzing decentralized and federated learning systems. The proposed work aims to unify various distributed algorithms and provide insights to streamline their design and analysis across a range of applications beyond machine learning, such as control theory and signal processing. The project will also engage undergraduate students in cross-disciplinary research and K-12 outreach activities. This award reflects NSF's mission to foster innovation, creativity, and excellence in engineering research and education, and has been deemed worthy of support through the agency's merit review process.
