This $350,796 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the development of novel statistical methods and algorithms to improve the handling of "few-shot" or "one-shot" learning problems. The research aims to create flexible models that can better characterize and detect latent subpopulations within large, sparsely-sampled datasets. The project will leverage parameter pooling techniques to enable stable estimation of second-order moments shared across classes with few observations, and will address spatiotemporal dependencies to enhance applications in domains like forensics and geospatial intelligence. The research outputs are expected to result in trustworthy, explainable models that can avoid biases, particularly for underrepresented populations, and will be disseminated through publications, conferences, and open-source software. South Dakota State University is the prime awardee on this two-year grant, with plans for sub-awards to support the project.
