- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Cornell University $367,129 on July 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for research and educational work on AI alignment responsive to heterogeneous user preferences. The project develops theoretical understanding of how disagreements among users with different preferences can cause AI systems to adopt unbalanced or erratic behavior, then designs...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Cornell University $222,569 on October 1, 2025, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop machine perception systems that form cross-modal associations between vision, touch, and sound to learn material properties and microgeometry of physical objects. The award funds research across four thrusts: capturing 3D multimodal representations by registering...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded New York University $351,857 on May 15, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to research the alignment of computational efficiency and human visual perception in generative artificial intelligence models. The project develops a research framework to measure, model, and optimize the relationship between computational cost and human visual perception for...
The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Cornell University $413,823 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to conduct collaborative research on generative AI's impact on online communities. The project studies how generative AI adoption affects content creation, community participation, governance practices, content evaluation, and outcomes across multiple widely-used online community platforms. The research team will employ mixed methods including qualitative semi-structured interviews with participants and community leaders alongside quantitative techniques such as interrupted time series analysis of community activity logs. Because detection and identification of AI-generated content remains unresolved, the project will employ temporal analysis, community responses, and expert judgment by community leaders as key indicators. The research framework addresses shifts in participation, governance, content evaluation, and community outcomes to generate generalizable insights applicable to both online community design and AI system development. Performance takes place in Ithaca, New York, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is a Project Grant, classified as assistance funding to the recipient.
