The project aims to develop a systematic framework for visualizing, understanding, and rewriting the learned computations of multimodal generative AI models that can generate both text and images. Key objectives include: Developing new methodologies...
This NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant, awarded to Arizona State University in the amount of $598,123 on July 15, 2024, will develop new algorithms to enable AI systems to autonomously learn hierarchical world models and high-level actions. The goal is to create AI systems, such as hospital robots and disaster-recovery support systems, that can plan reliably and efficiently to accomplish complex user-desired tasks, without requiring...
This $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports a collaborative research effort between Oakland University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The project aims to increase awareness and promote broader adoption of the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) pilot. It will organize two 12-workshop series over two years, providing hands-on training for emerging researchers to...
This Project Grant award, valued at $400,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070). The award supports a collaborative research project led by Northeastern University to develop new methodologies for visualizing, understanding, and rewriting the internal computations of large-scale multimodal generative AI models. The goal is to increase the accountability and safe use of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) supports research into probing the inner workings of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and comparing them to human cognition during speech recognition. The $50,000 award to the University of Southern California (USC) will fund the development of novel mathematical models and experimental methods to examine how AI...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to adapt foundation models, a type of artificial intelligence, for multimodal sequential decision-making applications. The project aims to develop novel techniques to leverage foundation models in areas such as smart manufacturing, multi-agent systems, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the state of AI ethics education interventions across diverse higher education institutions in the United States. The $111,984 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will fund a collaborative research effort to: (a) map existing AI ethics education interventions, (b) develop a framework for understanding faculty...
