Researching language technologies for multilingual, low-resource and real-world settings.
We develop Natural Language Processing methods, datasets, language resources and AI systems spanning multilingual NLP, large language models, text summarisation, information extraction and applications in areas including finance, healthcare, education and public policy.
NLP @ VinUniversity is the Natural Language Processing research group at VinUniversity. Our work combines core NLP research with multilingual and low-resource language technology, open language resources and applied AI.
Our research asks how language technologies can become more capable, reliable and useful beyond the small number of languages and domains that dominate mainstream AI development. This includes building datasets and benchmarks, developing new NLP methods, adapting large language models, and evaluating systems in linguistically and culturally diverse settings.
The group works across computational linguistics, machine learning and generative AI. We are particularly interested in multilingual NLP, under-resourced languages, language resources, text summarisation, information extraction, machine translation, retrieval and reasoning, as well as responsible evaluation of modern language models.
We collaborate with academic institutions, research communities, government and industry partners internationally, while developing research programmes that connect VinUniversity to the wider NLP community.
Dr Mo El-Haj leads NLP @ VinUniversity and works on multilingual and low-resource NLP, Arabic language technology, text summarisation, information extraction, financial NLP, language resources and large language models.

PolicyVerse develops multilingual retrieval, policy world models and evidence-grounded multi-agent reasoning for analysing complex policy information across languages.
Explore PolicyVersePolyDrift investigates how multilingual instruction-tuned language models change their language behaviour after adaptation, including when models drift away from the language requested by users.
