UC Office of the President Awards Research Grant to UC-wide Team - Leveraging California's linguistic diversity to improve large language models

Linguists from six UC campuses, including UC Davis, were awarded a multi-campus grant through the UC Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives. Together with linguists from UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC Merced, UC Irvine, and UCLA, they will be studying the intersection of language technology and language diversity. They will be asking how new language technologies such as ChatGPT respond to diverse language varieties, and how we can improve such technologies to better support the language diversity of the California population. At UC Davis, the team includes Emily Morgan, David Corina, Georgia Zellou, Matthew Traxler, Fernanda Ferreira, Masoud Jasbi, Kenji Sagae, Tamara Swaab, and Santiago Barreda-Castanon.
