Our Mission

Putting Bengali Language Research on the map

Bangla (বাংলা) has a rich heritage of literature that dates back to almost a thousand years. Even with a huge number of native speakers, Bengali is lagging behind in Natural Language Processing (NLP). From government services to education, from agriculture to healthcare, Bengali-NLP research would make lives easier for everyone.

We are working on a variety of projects to advance AI research in Bengali language and computer vision.

Bangla OCR

Morbi viverra dui mi arcu sed. Tellus semper adipiscing suspendisse semper morbi. Odio urna massa nunc massa.

Bangla Handwriting Recognition

Sit quis amet rutrum tellus ullamcorper ultricies libero dolor eget. Sem sodales gravida quam turpis enim lacus amet.

Bangla Text-to-Speech

Quisque est vel vulputate cursus. Risus proin diam nunc commodo. Lobortis auctor congue commodo diam neque.

Bangla LLMs

Arcu egestas dolor vel iaculis in ipsum mauris. Tincidunt mattis aliquet hac quis. Id hac maecenas ac donec pharetra eget.

Computer Vision

Computer Vision in Bengali

Today, computers are smart enough to analyze an image and return information on the visual content. With Computer Vision, we can

Detect printed or handwritten text in images:
Extract text from documents, signs, and handwritten notes with high accuracy.
Detect and Recognize Objects:
Identify multiple objects, their locations, and classifications within any image.
Recognize Celebrities or Landmarks:
Identify famous personalities and historical landmarks from images with precision.
Describe images with meaningful sentences:
Generate natural language descriptions explaining the content of any image.
Computer Vision: Detect printed or handwritten text in images

The caption for this picture would be:
"একজন সানগ্লাস পরিহিত পুরুষ রিক্সা চালাচ্ছেন"
