SUTD alumni group project recognised by the Global Undergraduate Awards (GUA) 2026

A group of SUTD alumni has been recognised under the Highly Commended in the Computer Science category at the Global Undergraduate Awards (GUA) 2026 for their research project, “Investigating Cross-Lingual Alignment and Semantic Drift in GPT-2 Fine-Tuning.”

The alumni students are:

• Alen Syzdykov

The Global Undergraduate Awards is a leading international academic awards programme that recognises outstanding undergraduate research from universities worldwide. The team’s project was recognised among the top 10% of submissions worldwide in the Computer Science category. The research originated from and was further developed through their final project of the 50.040 Natural Language Processing course. Exploring challenges in multilingual artificial intelligence, the project examines language model behaviour across different languages and reflects SUTD’s emphasis on rigorous, research-driven learning.

ISTD Pillar congratulates the team on this achievement and wishes them continued success in their academic and professional journeys.
