Salar Fattahi, University of Michigan Industrial and Operations Engineering (U-M IOE) assistant professor, is the lead Principal Investigator of a team that has received a multi-institute research award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) – Division of Mathematical Science in the amount of $399,998.

U-M IOE is leading the research in partnership with, Arvind Rao, U-M Medical School associate professor, and Andres Gomez, University of Southern California assistant professor.

“This award is a result of a multi-institute effort that will give rise to computational methods and models that are interpretable by domain experts and will lead to a rich set of publicly-available datasets that can be used as test-bed for different inference methods, resulting in broader AI-human collaborations,” said Fattahi.

This project will aim at developing efficient computational tools for the inference of spatio-temporal graphical models that are not only provably optimal, but also adaptive, parallelizable, and implementable in meaningful scales.
