This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award provides $399,994 to The Johns Hopkins University from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant is funded under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports research and education in computing, communications, and information science.

The project aims to develop a rigorous mathematical theory to explain the phenomenon of "neural collapse" in deep learning models, and use this to quantify generalization performance and improve model transferability. Key research thrusts include analyzing convergence guarantees for training overparameterized deep models, using neural collapse to provide tighter generalization bounds, and leveraging progressive neural collapse to understand and improve model transferability to new domains and tasks. The project also includes an integrated outreach and education plan to promote awareness of computing and STEM concepts for K-12 students.
