This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $150,000 to support the development of Algorithm-Informed Neural Networks (AINNs). The project aims to enhance the transparency, reliability, and efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI) systems by systematically integrating well-established algorithmic logic into neural network architectures. Key research tasks include designing algorithm-mapped neural models that leverage predefined logical rules to improve interpretability and reduce data requirements, as well as developing a novel latent behavior analysis method to detect and trace input-specific anomalies in neural subnetworks. This project, awarded to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027 and is expected to produce AI systems with greater transparency, lower data dependency, and enhanced reliability for real-world applications across diverse domains.
