REU Site: Beyond Language: Training to Create and Share Vector Embeddings across Applications

Data management plan for the grant "REU Site: Beyond Language: Training to Create and Share Vector Embeddings across Applications." This three-year Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) site project at University of North Texas will support 10 students for 10 weeks each summer and teach them how to build modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems capable of communicating their acquired knowledge across domains. Knowledge is about much more than what can be described in language, and we aim to train students to handle this new way of communication.
