This project concerns the use of large foundation AI models for new tasks by modifying them instead of creating new models from scratch. These foundation models take a lot of computing power to train, but they show good, 鈥渙ut-of-the-box鈥� baseline performance in many tasks. The project aims to take these pre-trained models and improve and adjust them for new tasks, a process called 鈥渢ransfer learning." The goal is to create tools that help apply this method to real-world problems, such as analyzing medical and remote-sensing images, by starting with large models trained on different types of data and improving them for specific tasks.

David Sweet, M.S. in Artificial Intelligence, aims to improve a method called Bayesian Optimization, which helps design and enhance systems like AI models, social media platforms and pharmaceuticals by running experiments. These experiments are essential for seeing how well a system works, but they can be expensive and time-consuming. His project will focus on dealing with complex systems that have many variables, or dimensions. More dimensions usually mean more experiments, but his goal is to reduce the number of experiments needed while still finding the best solutions. He and his eam are developing a new algorithm to make this process faster and more efficient, especially for systems with many variables.

This interdisciplinary project that seeks to compile comprehensive information on rare diseases that is currently difficult to find and access into an interactive, centralized digital platform. The hub will streamline access to information for patients, caregivers and healthcare providers, improving the likelihood of diagnosis and treatment for rare diseases affecting over 300 million people worldwide.

This project will investigate a new approach to treating diseases, such as cancer, inflammatory and immune disorders, by targeting proteins that are traditionally considered 鈥渦ndruggable.鈥� These proteins are difficult to attack with regular drugs because they lack suitable sites for binding or can鈥檛 interact with the enzyme Ubiquitin ligase, which helps degrade and remove unwanted proteins in cells. To solve this problem, Viswanathan鈥檚 team is using a new technique involving small molecules called molecular glue degraders. These molecules help bring the problematic protein, called the protein of interest, and the enzyme Ubiquitin ligase, called the effector protein, close together. The project aims to find the best molecular glue from a library of small molecules that can form this ternary complex and effectively degrade the target protein.

This project aims to change healthcare delivery by creating a digital platform that increases access to care in underserved areas. In communities with limited access to healthcare, environmental health records make it easier to provide consistent care and track patients鈥� conditions over time. By incorporating telemedicine, mobile health apps and electronic health records, the system seeks to improve patient outcomes and address healthcare inequities. This project is expected to serve 200 to 300 patients each month.

The collapse of one financial institution can result in the failure of many others since banks possess assets in other banks, and the effects of the loss of value of one of them has consequences for the others. Dr. Cwilich and his team are trying to model this effect of cascading failures through the tools of network theory, which have been used successfully to model other cascading phenomena in electric energy distribution, communication networks and epidemics. For the first time, they are incorporating the real cross-holdings of the different banks in the design of the model of the network, as well as the further depreciation of assets that ensues after the public loses confidence in the solvency of the failing banks.
