The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $188,145 on October 1, 2025, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop machine-in-the-loop writing assistants that integrate text generation systems with human authors to improve writing quality and support writing pedagogy. The project develops platforms leveraging online author communities to design and evaluate writing assistants, advances neural language models to improve generated text quality, and enables assistants to rewrite and reorganize human-authored text through automatic paraphrasing. Writing assistants developed through the work are deployed in K-12 classrooms to advance writing instruction. The project incorporates undergraduate students, including those outside computer science, into natural language processing research and provides outreach to underrepresented minorities. The University of Maryland, College Park executes the award with collaboration from Protagonist Labs, which operates online platforms for collaborative storytelling in creative and pedagogical settings and has incorporated systems built by the investigator's team into user-facing interfaces. User interaction on these platforms enables fine-grained evaluation of novel text generation methods. Performance occurs in College Park, Maryland, with a period of performance through December 31, 2026.
