The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $329,183 Project Grant to the College of William & Mary under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will fund the development of a framework and methodology to enable researchers and software engineers to better interpret the behavior of AI-powered developer tools that leverage neural language models for source code. The project aims to generate global and local explanations of model behavior, and create techniques to allow for feedback and improvement of the models over time. The research is intended to build trust in the use of these AI tools for software development and maintenance, and develop educational materials on best practices for their use. This award reflects NSF's mission to support research and education that advances the field of computing and information science.
