Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) | HBKU

Research at QCRI

Ensuring that the Arabic language flourishes in the digital world is a priority area of QCRI’s research. We are dedicated to promoting the Arabic language in the information age. Some of our current research projects address the challenges related to lack of content and equally important, extracting that content, analyzing and transforming it.

Founded in 2018, the Research Engineering Group was established with the vision of becoming an innovation hub that generates transformative solutions addressing real-world challenges of both local and global significance. Our mission is to transform QCRI research outcomes into robust, commercially viable products.

We are living in a time of a paradigm shift towards cyber security attacks on targets such as critical infrastructure, governments and sensitive data.

QCRI’s Qatar Center for Artificial intelligence Group research expertise transcends the data science stack - from data extraction and cleaning to analytics, retrieval, inference and prediction.
