KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Nanyang Technological University, Singapore partners with Theta Labs to enhance AI research capabilities.
- NTU’s Speech and Language Laboratory will leverage Theta EdgeCloud’s decentralized GPU infrastructure for advanced multilingual speech recognition.
- This collaboration supports Theta Labs’ 2025 Roadmap, aiming to expand its decentralized edge network globally.
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has joined Theta Labs’ EdgeCloud platform as a new academic partner. This collaboration aims to enhance NTU’s capabilities in speech and language AI research. NTU is ranked among the top two universities in Singapore and holds the 15th position globally in the QS World University Rankings 2025.
The partnership involves NTU’s Speech and Language Laboratory, which has been a leader in multilingual speech recognition and AI-driven language models since its inception in 2007. The lab, led by Professor Chng Eng Siong, collaborates with industry partners and has secured over S$18 million in research funding. This collaboration is expected to further NTU’s research in areas such as speaker extraction and real-time transcription systems.
Leveraging Theta EdgeCloud’s Infrastructure
NTU’s Speech Lab will utilize Theta EdgeCloud’s decentralized GPU infrastructure to advance its research. This platform will enable the lab to train and fine-tune multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) models at scale. Additionally, it will support the development of robust systems for noise reduction and speech identification.
Theta EdgeCloud is recognized as a hybrid cloud-edge GPU platform, suitable for advanced AI research in speech and language processing. This partnership aligns with Theta Labs’ 2025 Roadmap, which includes the Beta release of its fully hybrid cloud-edge computing platform in June 2025 and the expansion of its decentralized edge network to over 30,000 nodes globally.
