The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to Rutgers, The State University located in Piscataway, New Jersey. The three-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will fund research to develop novel statistical inference tools and computationally efficient approaches for reinforcement learning in high-dimensional, non-identically distributed data settings. Key focus areas include statistical inference for reinforcement learning under high-dimensional scenarios and the design of efficient online and offline reinforcement learning algorithms. The project aims to advance the application of machine learning, including deep learning and reinforcement learning, to diverse problem domains such as healthcare, education, and engineering, while addressing fundamental challenges around model interpretability, reproducibility, and adaptivity. The funding will provide interdisciplinary research training and professional development opportunities for the next generation of statisticians and data scientists.
