The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,479 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division. The grant supports the development of a new statistical machine learning framework called "minipatch learning" to enable faster computation and improved statistical efficiency when analyzing massive datasets commonly found in fields like biomedicine, genomics, and neuroscience. The project aims to create open-source software implementing these new methods and apply them to large biomedical datasets. The effort will also provide training and professional development opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has a performance period from February 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025.
