The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $425,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop theoretical foundations and algorithms for multiclass classification in machine learning. The project extends margin-based theory from two-class classification to many-category problems, focusing on surrogate loss functions and relative comparisons among class scores. Research targets statistical theory for multiclass classification including settings with very large numbers of classes, with applications to species identification from recordings or images, biological cell recognition, material detection from sensor measurements, and nanoparticle classification from chemical and physical properties. The work will produce research articles, tutorial materials, and open-source software alongside student training. Performance occurs at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
