Research into accessible technology for all.

GigaBD is a multidisciplinary university research group made up of teaching staff, research staff, students and technicians, specialising in the study and application of technologies accessible to all.

Our work

At GigaBD, we work as a team and collaboratively to generate rigorous knowledge and solutions with social impact. We also train new generations of students and researchers. Our research work focuses on developing applications based on deep learning and enrichment techniques, as well as processing data and texts to make them more accessible and understandable, while striving to ensure their reliability. Therefore, accessibility and clear language are two of the key pillars in the development of applications for the digital environment based on natural language processing.
