This $392,993 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to develop more accessible and reliable machine translation technology. The University of Maryland, College Park will work with sub-awardee University of California, Berkeley to advance natural language processing and human-computer interaction techniques. Specifically, the project will create a conversational bot to guide lay users through text-based machine...
This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
This $244,516 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a 3-year effort to document and analyze three languages with unusual grammatical structures. The project aims to expand existing language databases and advance understanding of language evolution, structure, and function. Key products include grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts, which will be leveraged to facilitate comparative...
This $155,811 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how people adapt to patterns in language use and reference. The project examines how human learners extract and utilize common reference patterns to develop robust language processing strategies, which could explain generational shifts in communication styles. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying language...
This $424,019 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a multi-year research project on the crosslinguistic components of clausal complementation. The project investigates the variation in how languages accomplish clausal embedding, or the ability to embed one sentence within another, through naturalistic data collection and linguistic fieldwork. The research team will document and describe the...
This $285,326 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds a 3-year community-driven documentation project focused on critically endangered, rarely studied, and infrequently documented languages. The project aims to produce transcribed and translated narratives in an open-access, permanently archived collection, develop a research-enriched, community-based interactive multimedia learning site, and conduct...
This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Southern California to develop innovative domain-specific architectures for enabling simultaneous translation at the edge. The goal is to design hardware accelerators for transformer-based simultaneous translation models that can reduce computation requirements by orders of magnitude while maintaining translation accuracy. Specific lines of research include input-centric dataflow and data reuse,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
This $830,432 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, aims to better understand the brain mechanisms that support language production and comprehension in humans. The project will leverage advanced neuroimaging and computational techniques to create high-resolution maps of language-related brain activity during production and comprehension tasks. The insights gained will be used to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
