This $400,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The objective of the award is to leverage and evaluate large language models (LLMs) as "tools for thought" that can support creative, open-ended, and collaborative work across various applications such as scientific writing, text analysis, and design ideation. The key products and services to be developed and...
This $334,731 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program aims to leverage grammar books to develop language technologies for data-scarce languages. The project will (1) build datasets to explore the meta-linguistic capabilities of large language models, (2) explore building large language models for new languages using grammars, (3) make theoretical connections to learning paradigms and model...
This $499,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support collaborative research to investigate the theoretical foundations of compositional learning in large language models (LLMs) based on transformer architectures. The research aims to advance the understanding of how LLMs, such as GPT-4, LLAMA 2, and CLAUDE 3, can decompose complex tasks into simpler intermediate steps to...
This $400,000 Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct collaborative research on the theoretical foundations of compositional learning in large language models based on transformer architectures. The research aims to investigate three key areas: model expressivity, statistical learning theory, and optimization, with...
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 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...
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems. The grant will support MIT's "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NCS-FO: STUDYING LANGUAGE IN THE BRAIN IN THE MODERN MACHINE LEARNING ERA" project from September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2025. Under this award, MIT researchers will study human language processing and representation in the brain using modern machine...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) CISE Federal Grant Award (CFDA 47.070) in the amount of $200,000 will fund a collaborative research project between U.S. and Indian researchers to develop energy-efficient computation and communication methods for large language models (LLMs). The project aims to enhance the efficiency of training and inference for LLMs, which are crucial for advanced AI applications but are energy-intensive. By leveraging emerging high-speed networks and Compute Express...
