OTED AI Research Initiative
An internal computer science research program developing and evaluating practical AI methods for languages and communities that receive limited attention in mainstream technology research.
Current and planned work
OTED is beginning with a focused multilingual model-evaluation project. The additional cards describe planned research areas, not completed studies, and will receive dedicated protocols before work begins.
Multilingual AI Reliability
Measuring factual accuracy, translation quality, citation reliability, and response consistency in Dari, Pashto, and matched English tasks.
Low-Resource Speech Recognition
Evaluating how speech-recognition systems handle Dari and Pashto across accents, recording conditions, and everyday devices.
AI-Assisted Learning Evaluation
Testing whether AI-supported learning tools improve understanding while controlling for inaccurate, misleading, or culturally mismatched guidance.
Digital Access and Human-Centered AI
Studying usability and access barriers for AI tools on constrained devices, slower connections, and multilingual interfaces.
Program charter and research protocol
The charter defines the initiative’s governance, initial research questions, methods, safeguards, documentation standards, and planned public outputs.
