Featured Project Demonstrations

Live showcases of three AI-powered learning systems developed to accelerate and localize technical training.

Demo 1: Multilingual Personalized Vocational Training

Adapts learning pathways via learner profiling and recommendation intelligence. Uses bilingual datasets to support automated creation of culturally relevant quizzes, tutorials, and microlearning modules across multiple delivery modes.

Demo 2: HunarmandAI Intelligent Tutoring

Designed for underserved, low-literacy Urdu speakers. Features multimodal text/speech interaction and fine-tuned language models for interactive learning, contributing curated low-resource Urdu datasets to the vocational domain.

Demo 3: Robust Perception-to-Instruction Pipelines

Converts degraded, scanned industrial manuals into reliable instructional content. Uses instruction-tuned language models to preserve procedural meaning, technical terminology, and usability even under heavy OCR noise.

Program Schedule

Theme: Digitization of TVET through AI-driven adaptive tools, multilingual tutoring, and robust machine translation pipelines.
