This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $676,344 to the University of Massachusetts for research advancing conversational information retrieval. Specifically, the awardee will develop theoretical foundations and machine learning models for mixed-initiative interactions in information-seeking conversations that go beyond...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with a total funding of $175,000, aims to develop more reliable and trustworthy question-answering AI systems by integrating large language models with structured knowledge graphs. The research at the University of California, Merced will create novel computational methods to ensure AI outputs are grounded in verified knowledge, reducing errors and improving...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of a structure-guided reasoning approach for multi-hop, complex reasoning using large language models (LLMs). The project aims to create a framework integrating three key tasks: retrieving task-focused data and information, structuring the retrieved data and knowledge, and reasoning on the structured data and knowledge. It will...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research to improve the evaluation and functionality of large language models (LLMs). The University of Texas at Austin will lead this 3-year collaborative research project to identify a taxonomy of "evaluation concepts" for assessing LLM responses and develop technology to automatically evaluate and improve LLM performance based on...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports a study at Georgetown University to develop an evaluation methodology for measuring the impacts of implementing large language model (LLM)-based tools to assist human experts working in federal, state, and local government programs. The project will compare the performance of LLM-only, human-only, and human-LLM hybrid responses across key metrics...
This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered products that enable humans to interact and converse with books and other documents. The key products being developed include: Technology to represent the informational content of books and document discussions as a knowledge graph, which will then be used to ground large...
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $299,990 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a prototype system using large language models to assist in the review process for releasing government records. The project aims to determine the additional data and training required to achieve acceptable levels of accuracy in using large language models to identify information that is already in the public domain, in order to streamline the document review process. The iterative system...
This Project Grant award, valued at $347,549, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program. The award supports research by New York University (NYU) to develop interactive language systems that can critically reason about textual sources to provide high-quality, up-to-date information. The key focus areas include: (1) expanding the definition of document relevancy to incorporate...
This $400,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The objective of the award is to leverage and evaluate large language models (LLMs) as "tools for thought" that can support creative, open-ended, and collaborative work across various applications such as scientific writing, text analysis, and design ideation. The key products and services to be developed and...
