We’re excited to launch the 2019 Yahoo Faculty Research and Engagement Program (FREP). The program is designed to produce the highest-quality scientific collaborations and outcomes through Yahoo scientists engaging with top faculty members to advance Web science. These collaborations will solve problems of mutual interest. Outcomes from the research would ideally be joint papers, advances in algorithm design, new software systems and experimental results.
We’re accepting proposals on:
Content Understanding & Recommendation
Computational Advertising
Natural Language Processing
Online Privacy/Security
Microeconomics and Mechanism Design
Image and Video Understanding
Machine Learning, Deep Learning & AI
5G/Multi-access Edge Computing
Augmented Reality
Reinforcement Learning
On-line/Large-scale/Distributed Systems
And other related areas
To start the submission process, please review the FAQ’s for more information. We encourage you to explore and work with a potential collaborator at Yahoo Research to complete and submit the proposal. Here’s the links to our team and their research areas.
Here are the components of the FREP proposal that you will need to submit. (Note: this is not the actual submission form; it’s here to help you prepare all the material for submission in advance).
Once you’re ready to submit your application, please use this submission form.
Please review the legal agreement that will need to be signed if your proposal is accepted.
