Natural Language Processing (NLP) enables computers to communicate with people using everyday language. Large language models (LLMs), in particular, are key drivers of language-based interaction, potentially including extra data modalities such as structured data or images. Such systems also enable sophisticated tasks such as language translation, semantic understanding, text summarisation, and natural language dialogue.

As we look to the future, our department at MBZUAI will continue to be a driving force in shaping the next generation of NLP technologies. We will generate new knowledge, explore new frontiers, and contribute to solving some of the most pressing challenges in the world today. Whether it’s in the realms of large language models, dialog systems, chatbots, Arabic NLP, machine translation, speech recognition, multimodality (language +speech/images/video), or understanding the subtleties of language, our department will be at the forefront of innovation.
Applicants should have a completed degree in a STEM field such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or other relevant Science or Engineering major that demonstrates academic distinction in a discipline appropriate for the doctoral degree.
