This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) totaling $300,000 will support a partnership between the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez (UPRM) and the AI Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI). The project aims to develop AI techniques to enhance data transformation and analysis for high-energy physics experiments, with a focus on areas such as optimal transport in deep learning, physics-informed uncertainty quantification, sparse dictionary learning, and computational aspects of deep learning. The collaborative research will leverage ongoing work at UPRM on the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider as well as IAIFI's expertise in advancing foundational AI. A key goal is to significantly increase UPRM's participation in AI research, education, and workforce development. The project will also build new centers of excellence in AI where such activities were not previously well-developed. Sub-awards are planned under this grant.
