The Data Science & AI Lab, or dlab for short, is a research group in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Our research lies at the intersection of

  • artificial intelligence (AI),
  • natural language processing (NLP), and
  • computational social science (CSS),

with a focus on building AI that is safe for humanity.

If you’re interested in working with us, get in touch!

And if you want to distract yourself for a minute, consider playing our games with a purpose:

or watching the talks posted on our YouTube channel.

Our work is partly funded by grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Swiss AI Initiative, Horizon Europe, and by a generous award from Coefficient Giving.

We also gratefully acknowledge prior funding from the Swiss Data Science Center, CROSS, Innosuisse, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.
