The University of Pennsylvania has been awarded a $528,331 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2029. The grant will support the development of novel algorithms that can provide provable guarantees on machine learning model performance, even when faced with distribution shifts in the data during deployment. This is a critical challenge in applications like healthcare and autonomous systems, where erroneous predictions can have severe consequences. The research aims to enable ML models to either make reliable predictions or recognize when the data is too different and abstain from making a prediction. The project will also contribute to training the next generation of researchers in this area and disseminate findings through workshops and educational resources.
