This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) and is focused on developing an evaluation methodology for implementing large language model (LLM)-based tools to support human experts working in federal, state, and local government programs. The project aims to conduct a study that evaluates the trade-offs of using LLM-based tools, such as their cost, error rates, and impact on human...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to improve the evaluation and functionality of large language models (LLMs). The key products and services to be delivered include: Identifying a concept taxonomy to assess areas where LLMs are failing, such as lacking detail in responses. 2) Developing reward models to automatically evaluate and improve LLM responses according to the identified...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070). The three-year award will support research and education activities to develop conceptual and mathematical understanding of large language models. Specifically, the university will conduct research analyzing simplified generative text models and language models trained on such data to gain insights into their inner...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to understand the effects of large language models (LLMs) on the work of online information professionals. The $370,692 award, which runs from June 2025 to May 2030, will develop models and tools to help these professionals assess and manage the risks posed by LLM-generated content, which can sometimes contain false or misleading information....
