This $333,667 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will support the development of a novel neurosymbolic programming framework called "Foundation Model Programming." This framework aims to generate symbolically interpretable scientific hypotheses from high-dimensional observational data across disciplines such as neuroscience, genomics, biomechanics, and ecology.

The key objectives are to create methods that can jointly reason over the most useful symbolically interpretable concepts or motifs extracted from raw data, and compose those concepts into coherent hypotheses. This mirrors how humans develop hypotheses by establishing a vocabulary of concepts from continuous high-dimensional descriptions and then reasoning over those concepts. The project will benchmark the developed methods on several scientific tasks and domains in collaboration with other institutions. The award period runs from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2028.
