This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of a structure-guided reasoning approach for multi-hop, complex reasoning using large language models (LLMs). The project aims to create a framework integrating three key tasks: retrieving task-focused data and information, structuring the retrieved data and knowledge, and reasoning on the structured data and knowledge. It will...
This $400,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The objective of the award is to leverage and evaluate large language models (LLMs) as "tools for thought" that can support creative, open-ended, and collaborative work across various applications such as scientific writing, text analysis, and design ideation. The key products and services to be developed and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) award of $799,999 to the University of Washington provides funding for a 4-year collaborative research project focused on developing tools and methods to leverage large language models (LLMs) in support of divergent, convergent, and cooperative work. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) Develop design guidance and workflows for building more reliable and...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports a study at Georgetown University to develop an evaluation methodology for measuring the impacts of implementing large language model (LLM)-based tools to assist human experts working in federal, state, and local government programs. The project will compare the performance of LLM-only, human-only, and human-LLM hybrid responses across key metrics...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, aims to understand the effects of large language models (LLMs) on the work of online information professionals. The $370,692 award to the University of Washington will fund research to develop an epistemological framework for characterizing the risks posed by LLM-generated content, as well as proactive and reactive approaches to assessing...
This Project Grant award, valued at $158,664 and awarded on June 15, 2025, is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The primary objective is to develop methods for using large language models (LMs) to apply existing written guidelines, such as grading rubrics and job listings, to assist with decision-making tasks like essay grading and resume screening. The project will first create datasets and annotation tools to capture how humans link...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $175,000 to the University of Massachusetts Boston to develop a continual collaborative framework for knowledge graph reasoning. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award (8/1/2025 - 7/31/2027) include: Enabling continual local updating of knowledge graph reasoning models to address the challenge of...
This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered products that enable humans to interact and converse with books and other documents. The key products being developed include: Technology to represent the informational content of books and document discussions as a knowledge graph, which will then be used to ground large...
This $499,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support collaborative research to investigate the theoretical foundations of compositional learning in large language models (LLMs) based on transformer architectures. The research aims to advance the understanding of how LLMs, such as GPT-4, LLAMA 2, and CLAUDE 3, can decompose complex tasks into simpler intermediate steps to...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research at Cornell University to develop improved evaluation concepts and technologies for large language models (LLMs). The project aims to discover a taxonomy of "evaluation concepts" that can assess LLM responses for criteria like factuality, level of detail, and alignment with user needs. It will then develop customized reward...
