UF has launched a major initiative to engage intellectual interest in AI with the objective of becoming a national leader in AI research and education. As part of this initiative, the AI Research Catalyst Fund is intended to jump start research and collaboration in AI and promote the use of UF’s new computing infrastructure. The AI Research Catalyst Fund Awardees are developing projects that (a) strive to develop new machine-learning and deep-learning algorithms; (b) use AI/ML to develop ways of analyzing heterogeneous data or novel methods for analyzing existing datasets; (c) introduce AI and ML to investigators with little experience in AI/ML; and (d) address foundational issues in AI, its applications to science and engineering problems, and its impacts to society.
