This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) to George Mason University aims to develop novel neuro-symbolic learning-to-rank models to deliver interpretable, balanced, and robust rankings for critical applications such as search engine results, news/social media curation, and decision support systems.

The project will leverage neuro-symbolic learning to create transparent ranking algorithms that can identify and address issues of prediction imbalance and safety. Key research thrusts include: 1) Introducing logic neural networks and a neuro-symbolic representation learning technique to enhance model expressiveness and accuracy; 2) Utilizing the inherent transparency to improve ranking balance for users and items; and 3) Fortifying robustness against shortcut features, exposure differences, and data poisoning attacks. The research will be validated through real-world applications in organ transplantation management and research paper recommendation.
