This $562,856 federal Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) grant program (CFDA 47.070), will fund the development of adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) systems to improve the accessibility of non-speech audio elements in online video content. The project aims to create tools that can identify and caption important non-speech sounds, such as environmental cues and music, to make digital media more accessible for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and older adult viewers. The research will involve user studies, dataset creation, and the development of a machine learning framework to prioritize and translate non-speech audio into text and visual formats tailored to individual viewer needs. The award will provide funding from July 2025 through June 2028 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a public polytechnic research university. This project supports NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and technological innovation in computing and information science.
