The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the University of Illinois. The 3-year grant, effective October 1, 2023, will fund research on reconstruction of diffusion history in cyber and human networks, with applications in epidemiology and cybersecurity. The research aims to develop fundamental theories and efficient, data-driven algorithms for identifying diffusion processes that best explain observed data, such as the spread of information on social networks, infectious diseases like COVID-19, and computer viruses. The proposed research is expected to advance the state-of-the-art in accuracy, scalability, and applicability of diffusion process reconstruction. Additionally, the project will integrate the developed deep learning algorithms and their applications into university courses to enhance STEM education. No subawards are planned under this grant.
