Natural language processing (NLP) is the branch of artificial intelligence that deals with computational processing of text. Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionised NLP. At Âé¶¹Éçmadou, we are building new benchmarks and pre-training/fine-tuning for several foundation NLP problems, alongside applications in defence and health. In particular, we are pioneering a unique research agenda to enhance LLMs for varieties of English spoken in Australia. We also collaborate with other research groups to develop novel LLM-based techniques.
