These labs, housed at Block A Level -1 in the Faculty of ICT building, are specifically designed to bring together researchers working on the main areas of research tackled within the department while providing a collaborative environment are always buzzing with activity.
All the labs can also serve as multipurpose rooms with equipment being easily reorganised in order to tackle challenges that require an inter-disciplinary approach. These research labs are also designed to host ideation activities such as design sprints and focus groups.
The web serves as the largest collection of data and information the world has ever seen. This research lab focuses on the exploration of this technology and the various ways we can navigate through this massive source of information.
Automation is redefining tomorrow’s businesses and homes and we believe that our students and researchers need an adequate space where to explore topics related to this field. With the emergence of the Voice User Interface, users are expecting to use natural language to communicate with machines and assign tasks. This research lab brings together a collection of equipment that allows researchers to explore topics related to the internet of things (IOT) and natural interfaces such as computer vision and natural language processing.
Since we are operating within a small country that boasts its own unique language, we dedicated one of our laboratories to the study of natural language processing and related technology. One of the main challenges in this field of research is the availability of data and its collection when required. This research lab aims to facilitate this process while providing the right controlled space for the exploration of this area.
