Hi! 你好
We're the DeCLaRe Lab
We are a research group at NTU Singapore, working across Safety, Trustworthiness, Multimodality, AI for Science, Efficiency, and Embodied AI.
- Safety Is AI safe to deploy at scale?OffTopicEval Can alignment survive fine-tuning?RESTA
- Trustworthiness Epistemic actions in multi-agent systems?Epistemic Context Learning Can citations be trusted?Trust-Align
- Multimodality Can models solve abstract puzzles?Puzzle Prodigies Can AI reason at the pixel level?MIRAS
- AI for Science Can agents find new ideas?IDEAgent Are novel ideas sound?LLM-as-Judge for Novelty
- Efficiency Can memory stay compact?delta-mem How to continually learn with memory?Sigma-Mem
- Embodied AI Can we scale post-training for VLAs?NORA 1.5 Is VLA a data problem?10 Open Challenges for VLAs

About DeCLaRe
DeCLaRe, short for Deep Cognition and Language Research, was founded by Soujanya Poria at the Singapore University of Technology and Design in 2019 with Navonil Majumder, Devamanyu Hazarika, and Deepanway Ghosal. The lab moved to Nanyang Technological University in 2025.
The robot forms 宣 (xuān), “to declare,” carrying the lab's name directly into its visual identity.
