CipherBot: An AI-based Bilingual Interactive Platform for Supporting Progressive Education through Collaborative Storytelling

Partnering with Academyati to enhance progressive education setting, we will develop CipherBot, an AI-based platform that uses machine learning models at the backend to prepare story-based projects for students and encourages them to learn various concepts through these projects. The platform will allow educators to design learning material in English and translate it to Arabic […]

Oral Cancer Artificial Intelligence Screening System

QCRI, Qatar University (QU), Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC), Complutense University – Madrid in Spain, University of Oviedo in Spain, Allied Hospital of Faisalabad in Pakistan, and McGill University in Canada has joined forces to develop a generalizable oral cancer AI screening system using multi-ethnic cohorts and to evaluate its diagnostic […]

Fanar

Fanar is an Arabic AI Large Language Model developed by the Qatar Computing Research Institute at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science, and Community Development. It is sponsored by the Qatari government through the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. Fanar bridges Arabic language and culture with the latest […]

Aircraft Predictive Maintenance Project

This joint project between QCRI and Boeing Company aims to predict aircraft parts that need replacement before failure occurs. This involves finding the possible physical parts that may have caused the maintenance messages (MMSGs) to appear in the flight leg, even before flight deck effects (FDEs) alerts utilizing embedding space coupling with graph theory algorithms. […]

Fanar Arabic-Centric Large Language Model

An Arabic-Centric end-to-end multimodal LLM that will become Qatar’s flaghip foundational model https://elmi.hbku.edu.qa/en/projects/fanar-arabic-centric-large-language-model

Progressive Education

Design and implement targeted surveys of learners (and potentially educators) at different levels in Qatar Foundation, and at different stages of the “applicant-to-alumni” journey. Analyze the results of these surveys using machine learning tools, and potentially augment the survey data with available data from other sources such as learning management systems. The goal will be […]

Privacy Personas in the MENA Region: A Large-Scale Analysis of 21 countries

Previous research has established that social media users in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have distinct behaviors that separate them from other regions of the world, e.g., relating to profile pictures, the role of family, and cultural norms. However, the social media privacy behaviors and needs of users in the MENA region […]
