This $450,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports a collaborative U.S.-Swiss research project focused on developing novel theory and methods for effective, informed graph generation at scale.

The key objectives of the project are to: (1) build discrete diffusion processes for progressively adding or removing edges from random graphs to reduce the combinatorial complexity of exploring the graph space; (2) learn generative models for small graphs that can be transferred to larger graphs, reducing the computational complexity of training diffusion models; and (3) incorporate user-specified constraints into the generative models to guide the diffusion process towards graphs satisfying certain requirements. The research aims to advance the state-of-the-art in generative artificial intelligence for graphs, with potential applications in areas like drug discovery, communications, robotics, and circuit design. The project will also impact the AI curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania by incorporating the research into an introductory machine learning course.
