MERaLiON / A*STAR IAIC
MERaLiON is a Singapore model research programme developed by A*STAR's Institute of Advanced Intelligence and Computing, or IAIC. It began at the Institute for Infocomm Research, known as I2R. The team develops models for regional speech and language tasks. MERaLiON is an institutional project, not a separately identified startup.
