REU Site: Exploring the Limits of Intelligent Systems (#2243941)As machine learning and AI systems become ever more common, encroaching on every aspect of society, the need for understanding the systems and their fundamental limitations becomes even more pressing. This project promotes the progress of science and supports education and diversity by training undergraduate students to research questions on the limits of intelligent systems. It builds a cohort of undergraduate students who can develop research ability, presentation skills, and further interest in research-related computing careers. The project focuses on understanding the boundaries in what intelligent systems can achieve both theoretically and in complex real-world scenarios with non-expert users. By educating undergraduate students to probe and understand the limits of these systems, the project helps build an empowered citizenry capable of grappling with the complex ethical and social issues these systems present. Through this award, students will work on cutting-edge subprojects in computer vision, programming language analysis and synthesis, human-robot interaction, and information-theoretic understanding of machine learning systems. These research topics give students valuable academic and industry skills that extend beyond current AI models and frameworks towards the broader reaches of what computing may achieve in the future. The topics for this project are designed to be modular and hierarchical to enable successful undergraduate research milestones. Students will be housed at Harvey Mudd College, an undergraduate-only institution, and experience the most compelling aspects of a graduate school environment during a ten-week summer program. Students will actively engage with the entire research process, from literature search, to articulating problems of interest, to investigations of specific pieces of these problems, and focusing results for presentation and publication.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

REU网站：探索智能系统的极限（#2243941）随着机器学习和人工智能系统变得越来越普遍，渗透到社会的各个方面，理解系统及其基本限制的需求变得更加迫切。该项目通过培养本科生研究智能系统局限性的问题，促进科学进步，支持教育和多样性。它培养了一批能够发展研究能力、演讲技巧和对研究相关计算机职业的进一步兴趣的本科生。该项目的重点是理解智能系统在理论和非专业用户的复杂现实场景中可以实现的边界。通过教育本科生探索和理解这些系统的局限性，该项目有助于建立一个有能力应对这些系统所带来的复杂伦理和社会问题的赋权公民。通过该奖项，学生们将在计算机视觉、编程语言分析与综合、人机交互以及机器学习系统的信息论理解等前沿子项目上工作。这些研究课题为学生提供了宝贵的学术和行业技能，超越了当前的人工智能模型和框架，走向未来计算可能实现的更广泛的范围。这个项目的主题被设计成模块化和分层的，以使成功的本科生研究里程碑。学生将被安置在Harvey Mudd学院，这是一所只招收本科生的机构，并在为期十周的暑期课程中体验研究生院环境中最引人注目的方面。学生将积极参与整个研究过程，从文献检索到阐明感兴趣的问题，再到对这些问题的具体部分进行调查，并将结果集中在演示和出版上。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
