Our Research Vision in Low-Resource Environments
Our lab is dedicated to solving challenges and exploring opportunities within low-resource environments. By focusing on efficient and innovative approaches in data augmentation, natural language processing (NLP), and multimodal AI, we aim to make AI technologies more accessible and impactful. Our mission is to develop solutions that are practical, inclusive, and capable of addressing real-world constraints, particularly in scenarios with limited resources.
Research Focus Areas within the Low-Resource Framework
- Language Processing in Low-Resource Languages
- We are advancing the frontiers of multilingual and low-resource language processing by developing inclusive technologies that enhance accessibility and usability across diverse languages and dialects. Our work includes reducing linguistic bias, improving grammatical accuracy, and enabling more equitable language technologies.
- Data Augmentation for Low-Resource Scenarios
- To overcome the challenges of data scarcity, we design innovative data augmentation techniques for both text and images. These strategies include methods that progressively improve model robustness and performance, ensuring adaptability to low-resource environments while minimizing resource consumption.
- Enhancing AI Efficiency for Low-Resource Applications
- Our research focuses on optimizing the efficiency of AI systems through robust training methods and model compression techniques. By addressing computational and data limitations, we aim to ensure that AI systems remain sustainable and practical in real-world applications, even with constrained resources.
Through these focus areas, our lab contributes to making AI technologies more accessible and equitable, fostering solutions that address the global challenges of inclusivity and resource scarcity. By combining innovation with practical impact, we aim to drive the development of AI that benefits communities worldwide and meets the pressing needs of diverse, real-world applications.
