HYPER-AI
The HYPER-AI project aims to revolutionize the field of distributed computing by addressing the complexities of integrating Internet of Things (IoT), Edge, and Cloud computing domains. It focuses on the creation of smart virtual computing nodes, optimizing data-processing applications across a distributed network to enhance performance and efficiency. HYPER-AI leverages autonomous, self-organizing computing swarms, enabling ... Read moreCoORDinance
CoORDinance - Shaping A Code of Conduct Concerning the ORD of the Indoor Positioning Research Field The CoORDinance project aims to develop a comprehensive Code of Conduct for Open Research Data (ORD) in the Indoor Positioning (IP) field, addressing the current lack of standardized ORD practices and its fragmented ORD landscape. CoORDinance builds on the findings of ... Read moreCoORDinates
CoORDinates – Towards a Consensus-based ORD Standard for the Indoor Positioning Community The community of indoor positioning research has identified the need for a paradigm shift towards more reproducible and open research. Over the last years, a slowly increasing tendency of openly sharing data and code has been observed in field, facilitating the establishment of baselines ... Read moreLearning generative models for molecules
Drug discovery is a well-known and challenging problem. Typically, one needs to navigate through a vast chemical space of up to \( 10^{60} \) small organic molecules to find a potential drug candidate with desired properties. Such a trial-and-error process is often cumbersome and error-prone. However, there is an abundance of molecule-related data in the ... Read moreAutomated Bridge Defect Recognition
Infrastructure assets, such as bridges, need to be inspected regularly. Our objective is to reduce the need for human involvement, minimize risks to health and safety, decrease the impact of subjective engineering assessments, digitize asset management, and promote sustainable inspection practices. By achieving these goals, we aim to develop optimal maintenance strategies for infrastructure assets, ... Read moreMIGRATE – A Multidisciplinary and InteGRated Approach for geoThermal Exploration
To mitigate climate change, our society must reduce its carbon footprint coming from fossil fuel energies and favor green energy solutions instead. Geothermal energy is a resource this available in abundance. However, the development of this sector is hindered by the insufficient subsurface information, resulting in high exploration risks. To overcome these obstacles and enrich ... Read moreInterpretable Condition Monitoring for Complex Engineering Systems
Just as it is important for us to monitor our own body in order to maintain good health, we should have an accurate understanding of the state of engineering systems in order to prevent failures. In this project, entitled "Interpretable Condition Monitoring for Complex Engineering Systems", we investigate machine learning methods to build a condition ... Read moreEO4EU: AI-augmented ecosystem for Earth Observation data accessibility with Extended reality User Interfaces for Service and data exploitation
A vast amount of Earth Observation (EO) data is produced daily and made available through online services and repositories. Contemporary and historical data can be retrieved and used to power existing applications, to foster innovation and finally improve the EU citizens’ lives. However, an undersized audience follows this activity, leaving huge volumes of valuable information ... Read moreLiBertaS: Enhancing Location Based Services by tackling the market barrier of costly data collection requirements of fingerprinting positioning systems
LiBertaS aims to liberate the access of Location Based Services (LBS) to the highly accurate fingerprinting methods in business practice, by greatly downscaling the data volume needed for their operation. Location Based Services (LBS) have recently undergone a tremendous increase in popularity. Despite the proven superiority of the fingerprinting methods in terms of localization accuracy, ... Read moreEratosthenes: Deep generative modeling for indoor and outdoor positioning with fingerprinting methods
Eratosthenes is a research project funded under the Spark funding scheme of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The aim of the Spark is to fund postdoctoral researchers to implement "projects that show unconventional thinking and introduce a unique approach". The relevant criteria for the award of Spark grants are the originality/novelty of the idea, the unconventionality of the proposed research project, the ... Read more
