The University of Chicago received a three-year, $275,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to address challenges of distribution shift in statistical learning. The university will investigate appropriate assumptions on distribution shifts that allow efficient knowledge transfer between distributions while being practical. Researchers will characterize information-theoretic limitations of learning under distribution shifts to determine when learning is and is not possible. Efficient and adaptive learning methods with optimal finite-sample guarantees adjusting to unknown distribution shift amounts will be developed. New tools in high-dimensional statistics, information theory, and sequential decision making will also be created. The grant provides research training opportunities to enhance interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate education.
