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 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 $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 $244,516 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program documents three languages with unusual grammatical structures to expand existing language databases and advance the understanding of language evolution, structure, and function. The project leverages automatic speech recognition technologies and supports student training opportunities. The products include grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts,...
This $56,465 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a multi-year study analyzing the determinants that shape language restoration and development within communities. The research aims to provide empirical data to test current hypotheses and theoretical discussions on the emergence and formalization of language, including its grammatical forms,...
This three-year $800,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to advance understanding of large language models through mathematical and conceptual analysis. The Trustees of Princeton University will receive funding to develop simplified generative text models, analyze how language models are trained on such generated texts, examine why learned models can perform downstream tasks, and design new adaptation methods with...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $116,990 supports research into deconstructing wordlikeness judgments through interconnected experimental and computational studies. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will provide research training and mentoring opportunities for graduate students in modern experimental and computational methods related to phonotactic knowledge and language sciences. Specifically, the City University...
This Project Grant award, valued at $250,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The project aims to study the neural bases of bilingual language production, specifically how the brain processes and produces words with different grammatical rules across multiple languages. The research involves measuring brain responses using magnetoencephalography (MEG) while bilingual individuals produce words that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, aims to investigate the factors that influence how humans speak and understand language. The $407,738 award to Vanderbilt University supports two main experiments examining the impact of an individual's language exposure and cognitive abilities on preferences and performance when processing complex English sentence structures. The findings will help inform...
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...
