Phase I IUCRC Oregon State University: Center on Pervasive Personalized Intelligence (PPI)

物联网（IoT）是指计算设备（例如，手机、家用电器、车辆等）的生态系统。通过互联网相互连接。该中心的目标是使下一代物联网系统更加主动和个性化，而不影响安全和隐私，从而改善决策，提高效率并实现新型计算应用。这种普遍的个性化智能（PPI）将由工业界和俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）之间的合作研究努力带来，这将推进人工智能，计算机安全和隐私以及可视化领域。OSU的研究人员将在三个方面调查基础研究。首先，在人工智能的推动下，研究人员将在异常检测、迁移学习、时间序列分析和可解释的人工智能方面开发新的人工智能算法。第二，为了安全和隐私，研究人员将探索私有计算的方法，其中几个参与者在计算中使用私有数据，并且只学习计算的结果，而不学习任何其他私有信息。最后，在可视化的推动下，研究人员将探索帮助数据利益相关者、研究科学家和政策制定者理解他们的数据和/或理解人工智能系统所做决策的方法。物联网的进步将影响日常生活的许多方面。PPI中心探索人工智能，可视化和计算机安全与隐私方面的研究方向，这些研究方向广泛适用于物联网系统以外的各种其他科学领域，如环境科学，农业，生物学和机器人技术。研究成果将通过出版物、向工业界和学术界的研究报告、开源代码和工业合作传播。该中心将通过与工业合作者相关的项目的实践经验来培训研究生。 教育活动包括通过与俄勒冈州立大学的项目合作为行业工程师和K-12推广暑期学校。PPI中心将维护一个可公开访问的项目库，该库将存储开放源代码，公开可用的数据集，论文和其他可以向公众传播的研究成果。该存储库将在中心的整个生命周期内进行维护，URL将是http://ppicenter.org.This奖项反映了NSF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。

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ecosystem of computing devices (e.g. cellphones, household appliances, vehicles, etc.) connected to each other via the internet. The goal of the Center is to enable the next generation of IoT systems to be more proactive and personalized without compromising security and privacy, thereby improving decision making, increasing efficiency and enabling new types of computing applications. This Pervasive Personalized Intelligence (PPI) will be brought about by collaborative research efforts between industry and Oregon State University (OSU), which will advance the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Security and Privacy and Visualization.Researchers at OSU will investigate foundational research under three thrusts. First, under the AI thrust, investigators will develop new AI algorithms in anomaly detection, transfer learning, time series analysis and explainable AI. Second, for the security and privacy thrust, investigators will explore methods for private computation, in which several parties use private data in a computation, and learn only the result of the computation without learning any other private information. Finally, under the visualization thrust, investigators will explore methods to help data stakeholders, research scientists, and policymakers to understand their data and/or make sense of decisions made by AI systems.Advances in IoT will impact many facets of everyday life. The PPI Center explores research thrusts in Artificial Intelligence, Visualization and Computer Security and Privacy that are broadly applicable beyond IoT systems to a variety of other scientific domains such as environmental science, agriculture, biology and robotics. The research outputs will be disseminated through publications, research presentations to industry and academia, open-source code and industrial collaborations. The Center will train graduate students through hands-on experience on projects relevant to industrial collaborators. The educational activities include summer schools for industry engineers and K-12 outreach through partnerships with OSU’s programs.The PPI Center will maintain a publicly-accessible project repository that will store open source code, publicly available datasets, papers and other research outputs that can be disseminated to the general public. This repository will be maintained for the lifetime of the center and the URL will be http://ppicenter.org.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.
