This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) provides $790,797 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on understanding and addressing multiplicity in machine learning pipelines. The project will develop frameworks and formal techniques to audit how multiplicity in dataset creation and modeling impacts the final deployed machine learning models. This is particularly important for domains where machine learning models directly affect humans, to ensure the fairness and robustness of these systems. The research will integrate formal methods and robust machine learning approaches to help determine whether model outcomes are reliable or just artifacts of multiplicity. The project runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 and does not involve any sub-awards.
