91Ƶ computer scientist receives Sloan grant for “tacit knowledge” research
This Story is featured on 91Ƶ News
Bernadette Boscoe, an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at 91Ƶ, recognizes a shared need in fields as dissimilar as astronomy, environmental science and violin acoustics, and a new grant will pay for research that may benefit those and other academic disciplines.
Boscoe has received a $250,000 grant from the that will fund her study of tacit knowledge in research settings – gathering, storing and retrieving the unspoken practices of academic teams that sometimes are lost when a project is disrupted or ends. She will use a Large Language Model (LLM) of artificial intelligence to archive the protocols of scientific groups researching environmental science at 91Ƶ, astronomy at UCLA and violin acoustics at Cornell University.
