This Project Grant award for $499,637 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will fund a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies. The REU site will engage 10 undergraduate students per summer in collaborative research teams focused on intelligent interactive experiences, including projects in natural language dialogue, affective computing, intelligent human perception, adaptive teaming, and learning sciences. The activities will combine hands-on research with training in best practices, mentorship, and peer feedback. The research projects aim to advance the state-of-the-art in creating compelling synthetic environments and characters with applications in domains like training, education, rehabilitation, medicine, and entertainment. This effort has the potential to prepare undergraduates for independent research and increase enrollment and retention in computing doctoral programs.
