This Project Grant award of $175,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research by San Diego State University Foundation to develop new technologies that enable Spatial-Temporal Imitation Learning (STIL) models to selectively remove or "unlearn" specific user data without retraining from scratch.

The goal is to address key challenges in STIL, such as handling overlapping and dispersed user trajectories, spatial-temporal data sparsity, and lack of formal unlearning guarantees. The research will develop innovative methods including negation trajectory generation, reward shaping, spatial-temporal partitioning, and differential privacy techniques. These capabilities will help ensure that AI systems used in urban intelligence applications, like ride-sharing and traffic planning, are not only effective but also privacy-preserving and legally compliant. The project will also integrate the unlearning research into university educational programs.
