About
The Multimodal and Multilingual Learning Technologies Lab (M2L2) is dedicated to advancing research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and education. Our work focuses on building learning technologies that are informed by education research and designed to serve diverse, multilingual communities.
We develop tools and systems that leverage multimodal data — text, speech, images, and interaction patterns — to create more effective and inclusive educational experiences. Our research aims to facilitate access to emerging technologies and STEM education for historically underrepresented communities.
