ABOUT US

NExT is a joint collaboration between the National University of Singapore and Tsinghua University on heterogeneous data analytics and associated AI research.

​

For a decade, we have done serious research on Explainable AI, Multimodal Data Analytics, Semantic Video Understanding, Multimodal Conversational, and Recommender Systems. The progress has made us a world-leading research centre and cemented closer links between
NUS and Tsinghua University.

​

With our deep expertise, we will do our part to contribute to the technology landscape and
talent development in Singapore and the world.

For PhD applicants:

For those who are aiming to pursue PhD in our Lab, you are advised to first apply directly to a PhD program in NUS. There are 2 programs that you can apply to: (1) NUS School of Computing; and (2) NGS (NUS Graduate School on Integrative Science and Engineering), or IDS (Institute of Data Sc). Once admitted, you have up to 1 semester to look for a suitable adviser. We can then discuss your interests and possible Lab rotation in our Lab.

For Visiting PhD Students/ Interns:

Because of space limitation in NUS School of Computing, we have implemented a quota system for all visitors. Students interested to visit our Lab under CSC or other forms of support are required to first approach a Post-Doc or a Senior PhD within the Lab to explore common interests and possible collaboration. We are only able to accept a small number of visitors with strong match to our research interests.
