Research Areas
From Bangla language models and applied research to sovereign infrastructure and partner programs, the lab covers the full path from research question to deployed system.
Bangla AI
Language, speech and multimodal models built from the ground up for Bangla and other low-resource settings.
We train our own models rather than only fine-tuning someone else's. Our flagship Sangbad-SLM, a 0.8B-parameter Bangla news language model, is built on a corpus we collected and cleaned ourselves, and it runs on modest hardware.
- Sangbad-SLM & Bangla Language Models
- Bangla Corpus Engine
- Low-Resource Training Methods
- Speech & Dialect Research
- Sovereign Benchmarks
- Efficient Inference
Applied AI Research
Turning research into working systems for documents, vision, data and decision-making.
The lab's applied group takes models from the bench into the field: document intelligence for Bangla and English paperwork, computer vision, forecasting and retrieval-augmented assistants, each measured against real-world data.
- Document & Data Intelligence
- Computer Vision
- Predictive Modelling
- Retrieval & Generative Systems
- AI Evaluation & Safety
- Experimental Prototypes
Sovereign AI Infrastructure
On-shore, private infrastructure so institutions can run their own models on their own data.
Owning a model is only useful if you can run it. We research and build the inference pipelines, deployment blueprints and governance needed to operate AI on your own servers or private cloud, inside your borders.
- National Inference Pipeline
- On-Premise & Private Cloud
- MLOps & Model Monitoring
- Data Governance & Privacy
- Compute Strategy
- Open Standards & Interoperability
Innovation Programs & Partnerships
Joint research, pilots and capacity building with government, academia, NGOs and industry.
We work best alongside partners who bring a hard problem and real data. Our programs range from short pilots and proofs of concept to multi-year joint research, with training so partner teams can carry the work forward themselves.
- Joint Research Projects
- Pilots & Proofs of Concept
- AI Readiness & Strategy
- Capacity Building
- Data Partnerships
- Long-Term Support
