We develop a distributed machine learning system to sort out defect plastic parts during production. Main challenge is the transferability of learnt process know-how from case to case; the solution builds on domain adaptation, continual data-centric deep learning and federated edge computing.  ...

The goal of this project is to lay the technological foundations for empowering various stakeholders to make fact-based decisions to achieve sustainable consumption and production. In particular, we will evaluate how various data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence methods can be used to extract ...

The PRISM project focuses on detecting radicalization events in Social Media networks. Overall, we are interested in unveiling the mechanics that lead to the event of extremist ideology being transferred and incorporated into a social media user’s world view. Specifically, the proposed project aims to identify ...

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.

Monitoring diverse sensor signals of patients in intensive care can be key to detect potentially fatal emergencies. But in order to perform the monitoring automatically, the monitoring system has to know what is currently happening to the patient: if the patient is for example currently being moved by medical staff, ...

Interactive dashboards are a great tool to display research data, both for experts and the general public. Yet, many researchers lack the required skills to create them. We offer a solution by developing a simple framework enabling researchers to create and deploy such dashboards with their data. We will use the ...

This project investigates the application of recent findings in Speech Translation to Swiss German. Speech Translation (ST) is the task of translating spoken utterances in one language into written text in a different language. It serves as an essential tool for breaking down language barriers in various ...

The project partner received two layout proposals for a new production line and wanted to compare them in terms of their suitability and performance. In the injection molding process, failure of individual injection molding cavities can occur, which leads to systematic or random missing parts. The system's modules ...

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 ...

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 ...
