Clean, reliable data is crucial to an increasingly digitized financial industry. We currently observe a lack of consistent, high-quality data across asset classes which requires costly and time-intensive human intervention. We propose an AI-driven solution to address this issue.

This project is about analyzing the ETHZ Video Paella Player as well as other video editing tools regarding accessibility and advising the corresponding development team.

The project aims to improve the accessibility of teaching at Swiss universities and to guarantee it in the long term. One of the main problems is the lack of awareness among responsible faculty and staff of the diversity needs of their students, which is why the development of an online training and short films to ...

The aim of this research is to develop concepts for accessible urban trip-planning and navigation for pedestrians with visual and mobility impairments, and to implement two proof-of-concept mobile application for accessible trip-planning and map exploration.

In this project, various technical aspects for tracing functional/non-functional requirements within user interface test cases were investigated. Originally, this project aimed to detect bugs in user interfaces automatically by using machine learning algorithms. During the execution of the project, we decided to ...

Optimizing the brain of databases with machine learning: Query optimization is one of the hardest problems of database systems research. A query optimizer can be considered as the “brain” of the system that makes sure that queries are executed efficiently. Even after several decades of research, many sub-problems of ...

Researchers in an applied sciences context, including at Zurich University of Applied Sciences, have no adequate means to gain insights into their past e-mail and chat communication. Usually this communication archive is a treasure - a hidden gem - when trying to remember contacts, project opportunities, ...

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 will serve as a ...

In this R&D project, scanmeter - a service for the automated security analysis of IT systems - is being extended by three innovative components. This will significantly increase the level of automation and test coverage, significantly improve customer benefits, and expand the fields of applications. Specifically, ...

PDF is the most popular document format to provide and distribute information on the internet. It was developed by Adobe 1996 but has been an open format since 2008. It was estimated in 2015 that more than 2.5 trillion PDF documents exist on the internet, covering all aspects of life and research, and their number ...

The RACOON project explores novel methods to compose online applications across the engineering lifecycle. In particular, it extends beyond the state of technology in user-friendly cloud application design, implementation and deployment. Furthermore, it investigates application scenarios for turning such methods ...

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 systems. OLS can ...

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 practices DevOps ...

Writing in most contexts today is done with digital, computer-assisted support. Technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) such as intelligent tutoring (IT), automated writing evaluation (AWE) and machine translation (MT) present new opportunities, perspectives, and risks for tertiary education. The ...

In this project, a «Digital Mobility/Logistics Hub» with different traffic modalities will be realised in robotic model format and combined with cameras and digital components (simulators, device models, cloud platforms, real-time injection of open data, reservation system, application scenarios). A logistics ...

This project is part of a wider swissuniversities initiative called “Swiss Digital Academy”, which deals with open educational resources and open educational platforms. The specific goal of the project “Mastering Accessibility of Open Educational Resources” is to provide knowledge of accessible open educational ...
