The Atfinity software is a Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) solution that enables the faster and cheaper implementation and maintenance of digital processes. The company Atfinity currently focuses on banking as market segment, but it is expected that the Atfinity software has a much bigger impact potential…

AI-SQUARE aims to develop a decision-support platform for software staging management. We use ML and NLP techniques together with Knowledge Graphs to integrate heterogeneous data sources and implement reinforcement learning from human feedback for context-specific adaptations.

The employee survey 2022 shows that the cooperation between institutes and departments is not satisfactory. The project aims to develop a proof-of-concept for a user-centered app that allows ZHAW members to connect. The matching system is inspired by dating apps: user profiles with interests and…

in order to offer a better individualized training environment and to be able to close individual gaps through exercises tailored to the needs.

Tracing functional and non-functional requirements within user interface test cases

The DOSSMA project will investigate suspicious and malicious behaviour on social media platforms. In a first phase, we will compile an extensive survey report on the areas that are currently being researched, including the respective state-of-the-art, existing solutions and initiatives. This report…

LEDCity is a Zurich based cleantech start-up and develops an autonomous plug and play lighting system to reduce the energy consumption of lighting by 90% compared to conventional lights. LEDCity’s AI-based optimization of lighting systems (OLS) is a radical new approach to sensor controlled lighting…

Much of the increasing complexity of ICT systems is being driven by the more distributed and heterogeneous nature of these systems, with Cyber Physical Systems accounting for an increasing portion of Software Ecosystems. This basic premise underpins the COSMOS proposal which focuses on blending best…

For Switzerland, the reputation of stable long-standing financial institutions has always represented a crucial advantage for the acquisition and retention of customers. However, as the financial service industry becomes more global, clients expect personalized offerings and inclusiveness of service…

Automating the task of requirements specification

This project aims to fully digitize and automate the transcription of spoken dialogues. We will implement a software system, Interscriber, that takes an audio recording as input and creates text using algorithms for Speech-to-Text and Speaker Diarization. The text is further processed and corrected.…

If children are questioned in preliminary proceedings about their own experiences or observations relevant to criminal law, it depends decisively on the quality of the questioning whether their statements can be used in criminal proceedings or whether decisions can be made on this basis and…

This demonstration shows to the participants the exciting possibilities of machine learning applied to speech, showcasing their benefits in various scenarios like helping regain the voices of the speech-impaired and improvement of dubbing technologies. Also, crucially, it helps demonstrate the…

The project implements an online service for companies to monitor suppliers for violations ofenvironmental, social, or governance norms. To do so, a vast variety of sources, such as news outlets, is monitored using machine learning and natural language processing with near human-level accuracy.

Tamedia would like to develop a software system that automatically generates news articles from hockey game data.ZHAW will explore the different state-of-the-art technologies to evaluate the feasibility of developing a natural language system that generates rich contextual ice hockey game report…
