Our Research Projects
Enhancing Legal Document Services with Accessible and Private LLM Technology
This research focuses on developing a local, privacy-preserving Large Language Model (LLM) for legal document services. By eliminating reliance on external servers, the proposed solution enhances user privacy, efficiency, and reliability. The study addresses challenges related to memory and computational constraints through optimisations, aiming to provide accessible and secure document processing.
Operating System Support for Large Memory Systems
This project tackles performance limitations in large server systems with extensive memory. It proposes OS-level solutions to optimize memory access for both traditional Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems and emerging disaggregated memory architectures. The goal is to improve performance, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for data centers.
NUS-NCS Joint Laboratory
NCS Pte. Ltd. (NCS) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have established a joint research lab that is hosted in NUS to conduct research, develop capabilities and innovative digital solutions to protect individuals, businesses and public agencies in Singapore from a wide range of cyber threats. The joint lab is governed by a Management Committee comprising members from NUS and NCS.
