We provide organizations with the highest-performing – as well as the safest – machine learning (ML) technology, by staying at the forefront of scientific research in the field.


Dr. Mirza Omer Beg --- Associate Professor

Natural Language Processing and Data Analytics

Mirza Omer Beg is currently appointed as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences Islamabad. He is heading the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Lab. His current research work focusses on Text Mining and Green Computing. The Text Mining project aims to decipher language semantics from human conversations on social media using natural language. Green Computation attempts to connect optimization techniques with programming languages, compilers and computer architecture. It attempts to develop tools and techniques to help developers improve the energy consumption of software on power-constrained devices.
