- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded North Carolina State University $300,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop methods for generalizable editing of foundation models, including large language models. The project investigates knowledge augmentation frameworks that enable foundation models to update stored facts more reliably and apply edits across related...
The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the University of Delaware $606,404 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop novel artificial intelligence retrieval methods that enable large language models to interpret pediatric health information within the context of a child's growth and development. The project, running through July 31, 2029, advances context-aware neural architectures for pediatric clinical decision support by creating methods to represent developmental trajectories and longitudinal health records, investigating retrieval techniques that dynamically identify and integrate medical knowledge relevant to a patient's developmental status and risk profile, and exploring adaptive language-generation methods that produce clinically precise explanations for healthcare providers while delivering accessible guidance to families. The resulting algorithms for context-sensitive representation learning, personalized knowledge retrieval, and audience-aware communication will be released as open-source resources. The research is conducted at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, and includes training opportunities for students.
