Summary

The project aims to develop an innovative artificial intelligence-based educational platform for students in the Republic of Moldova. It will provide personalised information aligned with the school curriculum, using intelligent agents capable of interacting in Romanian.

The project will produce reusable regional language resources accessible to educators and researchers. Open-source AI models will cover speech recognition, Romanian speech synthesis and large language models, alongside texts drawn from national cultural heritage and school textbooks.

Planned scientific dissemination includes one article in a Web of Science-indexed journal, two articles in international conference proceedings and participation in at least six national and international scientific events.

The initiative supports the preservation and promotion of Bessarabian cultural heritage and public access to these resources through digital media.

The project contributes to the Republic of Moldova’s Digital Transformation Strategy for 2023–2030, which aims to develop an innovative and inclusive digital society.

The research also supports the Digital Europe Programme 2021–2027, including artificial intelligence and natural language processing for education in Romanian.

The intended results support personalised learning, the modernisation of education and the preservation of local linguistic heritage through advanced technologies.
