This $431,480 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a research team at the University of Michigan in mitigating bias in artificial intelligence (AI) systems used in astronomy and medical imaging.

The key objectives are to: 1) identify, characterize, and mitigate "gold standard" labeling bias in galaxy shape classifications, which can impact downstream AI models; and 2) apply the developed bias mitigation techniques to improve AI-assisted tumor detection in medical imaging data. The research will train an AI system to predict stellar properties inside galaxies from imaging data, aiming to significantly expand the sample sizes used for galaxy evolution studies. A critical component is quantifying and mitigating labeling bias, which has been shown to affect existing human-based morphology datasets. The 3-year project period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
