"objective": "Coordination of different players in active distribution systems by increasing the penetration of distributed energy resources and rapid advances on the aggregators, microgrids and prosumers with private territory individuals establishes new challenges in control and management systems from the owners’ point of views. Undertaking digitalization of future distribution systems, GiSTDS introduces an edge computing framework based on GridEye, the core production of DEPsys, which provides real time visibility and monitoring. Relevant drawbacks in the distribution system management platforms in handling the scalability of players, look ahead preventive management systems regarding contingency condition and lack of physical boundaries for third party entities (aggregators) will be addressed by GiSTDS. The main novelties of this project in comparison to the GridEye are: 1) Developed P2P trading module provides automated double auction negotiation in real time fashion which enables all private entities with and without specific physical boundaries to participate in local and flexible electricity markets. 2) Modification of GridEye’s modules to address the scalability and resilient operation in both the normal and contingency conditions. 3) To present a look ahead energy managements schemes for the operators, GiSTDS will be equipped to the forecasting module based on auto-regressive with exogenous variables (ARX) and machine learning techniques such as long short term memory (LSTM) and recursive neural network (RNN). Therefore, GiSTDS based on modified and developed modules explores comprehensive distributed framework for control, monitoring and operation of energy systems with multiple dispersed players in different scales. The edge computing solutions in GiSTDS eectively digitalis energy systems and creates major opportunities in terms of avoiding big data concerns and getting a bottom-up monitoring approach for the network supervision.",

"objective": "In the last decade, machine learning (ML) has become a fundamental tool with a growing impact in many disciplines, from science to industry. However, nowadays, the scenario is changing: data are exponentially growing compared to the computational resources (post Moore's law era), and ML algorithms are becoming crucial building blocks in complex systems for decision making, engineering, science. Current machine learning is not suitable for the new scenario, both from a theoretical and a practical viewpoint: (a) the lack of cost-effectiveness of the algorithms impacts directly the economic/energetic costs of large scale ML, making it barely affordable by universities or research institutes; (b) the lack of reliability of the predictions affects critically the safety of the systems where ML is employed. To deal with the challenges posed by the new scenario, REAL will lay the foundations of a solid theoretical and algorithmic framework for reliable and cost-effective large scale machine learning on modern computational architectures. In particular, REAL will extend the classical ML framework to provide algorithms with two additional guarantees: (a) the predictions will be reliable, i.e., endowed with explicit bounds on their uncertainty guaranteed by the theory; (b) the algorithms will be cost-effective, i.e., they will be naturally adaptive to the new architectures and will provably achieve the desired reliability and accuracy level, by using minimum possible computational resources. The algorithms resulting from REAL will be released as open-source libraries for distributed and multi-GPU settings, and their effectiveness will be extensively tested on key benchmarks from computer vision, natural language processing, audio processing, and bioinformatics. The methods and the techniques developed in this project will help machine learning to take the next step and become a safe, effective, and fundamental tool in science and engineering for large scale data problems.",

"objective": "In the last decade there has been an explosion in Online Travel Agents (OTAs) worldwide. OTAs undertake the mammoth task of undercutting the flight prices of major airlines through the use of Bots (an internet Bot, also known as web robot, WWW robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs automated tasks (scripts) over the Internet.). Bots are used to scrape airlines for valuable data to benchmark aggregate flight costs, which drives down prices for the consumer.\n\nWhilst beneficial to consumers, scraping harms travel companies because:\n•\tBots can engage with a websites’ server hardware and cause website traffic to run slower, in some cases causing server downtime and Direct Denial of Service (DDoS)\n•\tLong term Search Engine Optimization (SEO) damage; distorting analytical marketing metrics.\n•\tDiverting customers to purchase products via third party resellers, limiting chances for up-sell and cross sell opportunities. \n\nThis problem is tackled by anti-scrape approaches. However, current anti-scrape/booking bot solutions are only capable of distinguishing between human traffic and bot traffic through supervised algorithms that do not work to the degree of efficacy required. \n\n\nOur proposed solution is BotStop an algorithmic approach to identifying Bots and scrapers and to policing malicious application traffic. eDNA will provide a solution which reintroduces transparency into the process of purchasing flights and will streamline customer website experience to ensure a more stress-free experience",

"objective": "Bringing a new drug to the European market takes at least 10 years and 2.5 BEUR of R&D effort. Computational methods significantly shorten this journey but they require knowledge of the structure and interactions of the involved biomolecules - most often proteins. In recent years, a tremendous progress has been made in the field of a single protein 3D structure prediction. However, predicting protein assemblies -the most crucial step - still remains very challenging. The aim of this IF project is to revolutionise protein complexes prediction methods. This will be achieved first by developing novel, effective and fast approaches for the calculation of the vibrational entropy, key to protein-protein docking mechanisms. Then, in an innovative and multi-disciplinary approach, the Experienced Researcher (ER) aims to combine advanced physics-based models with machine learning methods using data from structural and sequence databases. Finally, this project will link all the pieces together and release them in the form of a web-server in order to allow the community to benefit from the results of this research.\nThe ER will carry out the fellowship in the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique - CNRS in Grenoble, France. CNRS carries out research in all scientific fields of knowledge and the Supervisor is a renowned expert in data science, computing, and software engineering. Through a well-thought two-way knowledge transfer and training plan, this project will benefit both the host institution and the ER in terms of scientific knowledge, network and open the path for new applications to potentially exploit at the European or global level. The project will also place the ER as a highly visible researcher in the field and ideally set her as a valuable resource for European industrial actors.",

"objective": "Natural enzymes have evolved to perform their functions under complex selective pressures, being capable of accelerating reactions by several orders of magnitude. In particular, heteromeric enzyme complexes catalyze an enormous array of useful reactions that are often allosterically regulated by different protein partners. Unfortunately, the underlying physical principles of this regulation are still under debate, which makes the alteration of enzyme structure towards useful isolated subunits a tremendous challenge for modern chemical biology. Exploitation of isolated enzyme subunits, however, is advantageous for biosynthetic applications as it reduces the metabolic stress on the host cell and greatly simplifies efforts to engineer specific properties of the enzyme. Current approaches to alter natural enzyme complexes are based on the evaluation of thousands of variants, which make them economically unviable and the resulting catalytic efficiencies lag far behind their natural counterparts. The revolutionary nature of EnzVolNet relies on the application of conformational network models (e.g Markov State Models) to extract the essential functional protein dynamics and key conformational states, reducing the complexity of the enzyme design paradigm and completely reformulating previous computational design approaches. Initial mutations are extracted from costly random mutagenesis experiments and chemoinformatic tools are used to identify beneficial mutations leading to more proficient enzymes. This new strategy will be applied to develop stand-alone enzymes from heteromeric protein complexes, with advantageous biosynthetic properties and improve activity and substrate scope. Experimental evaluation of our computational predictions will finally elucidate the potential of the present approach for mimicking Nature’s rules of evolution.",

"objective": "The popularization of information technology and the Internet has resulted in an unprecedented growth in the scale at which individuals and institutions generate, communicate and access information. In this context, the effective leveraging of the vast amounts of available data to discover and address people's needs is a fundamental problem of modern societies.\n\nSince most of this circulating information is in the form of written or spoken human language, natural language processing (NLP) technologies are a key asset for this crucial goal. NLP can be used to break language barriers (machine translation), find required information (search engines, question answering), monitor public opinion (opinion mining), or digest large amounts of unstructured text into more convenient forms (information extraction, summarization), among other applications.\n\nThese and other NLP technologies rely on accurate syntactic parsing to extract or analyze the meaning of sentences. Unfortunately, current state-of-the-art parsing algorithms have high computational costs, processing less than a hundred sentences per second on standard hardware. While this is acceptable for working on small sets of documents, it is clearly prohibitive for large-scale processing, and thus constitutes a major roadblock for the widespread application of NLP.\n\nThe goal of this project is to eliminate this bottleneck by developing fast parsers that are suitable for web-scale processing. To do so, FASTPARSE will improve the speed of parsers on several fronts: by avoiding redundant calculations through the reuse of intermediate results from previous sentences; by applying a cognitively-inspired model to compress and recode linguistic information; and by exploiting regularities in human language to find patterns that the parsers can take for granted, avoiding their explicit calculation. The joint application of these techniques will result in much faster parsers that can power all kinds of web-scale NLP applications.",

"objective": "Vacuum pumps are used in thousands of industrial applications, playing a vital role in food processing, semiconductors, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and many other manufacturing and assembly processes. However, today’s pumps are currently unable to provide any type of insights that could help users anticipate a pump malfunction, plan maintenance procedures or setting the adjustments. Pump malfunctions or breakdowns, due to unplanned maintenance or improper settings, cost millions of euros in lost revenues every year as production and logistic lines lie idle waiting for pumps to be fixed, and when they are not optimized their productivity decrease or their energy consumption go up. \n\nBut now, DVP, a vacuum pump manufacturer, has developed the solution to these challenges through StarLink, the world’s first intelligent vacuum pump system. StarLink is a patent-pending system that uses data analytics and machine learning to identify pump malfunctions before they happen, propose actions to be taken, and automatically adjust the operation parameters if the problem relates to the setting. This will reduce pump downtime-related costs by 30%, increase their productivity by 50% and make easier the operation manager tasks. \n\nThe combination of our deep knowledge of vacuum pumps needs with the machine learning expertise of the university of Ferrara will create the most intelligent device to improve the competitiveness of European companies. Additionally, StarLink will contribute to DVP’s growth in terms of employees and product portfolio since we will be able to offer a wider range of products and services related to vacuum pumps, which will allow us to enter new markets and sell more units. By 2023, it will generate €3M in yearly revenue with net profits of €2M to our company.",

"objective": "General awareness about the smart grid technologies has improved in the last decade due to various energy liberalization actions taken by the European Union. However, the lack of well-developed technologies, has been main cause of slow acceptance of smart grids. This calls for the identification of unexplored research areas in smart grids. Positive outcomes of the research can help in laying down new and well-defined standards for the smart grids and associated intelligent technologies. A convenient and easily integrable product can also help in encouraging various distribution system operators to accept the new technologies. Massive amount of data is already being collected from the distribution networks using smart meters. Rapid advancements in machine learning research have opened up new avenues for data utilization in smart grid. \nForerunners like DEPsys (a smart grid technology company based in Switzerland), have now simplified the distribution system data for further analysis and research. A critical concern raised by DEPsys customers, is their inability to trace the source of power quality issues in the distribution network, which in-turn leads to both energy and economic losses over time. This project builds up on existing infrastructure of DEPsys and aims to be an AMROUR (by improving robustness) for distribution networks against power quality events. The main objectives are: (i) leveraging machine learning for condition monitoring and tracing power quality events, and (ii) to develop a smart grid technology which assists the distribution system operators in prevention and diagnosis of power quality events.",

"objective": "Drug efficacy is cornerstone for successful drug discovery programs. Considering that, on average, FDA-approved drugs modulate dozens of off-targets it remains imperative to find strategies to overcome adverse drug reactions correlated with pernicious polypharmacology. In fact, several chemical entities displaying promising anticancer are discontinued from drug development pipelines due to narrow therapeutic windows in pre-clinical models. Here, we propose the development of antibody-drug conjugates exploring the unique bioactivity profile of the naphthoquinone natural product-lapachone (Lp) against acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an unmet medical need. Using a machine learning method, we disclosed Lp as an allosteric modulator of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), correlated its anticancer activity with 5-LO expression in blood cancers and showed its efficacy in a disseminated mouse model of AML.\n\nIn this project, a comprehensive investigation of novel means for the targeted delivery of Lp to leukaemia cells is sought after, considering both the promising bioactivity profile but also the significant toxicity in untargeted dosage forms. We apply state-of-the-art synthetic medicinal chemistry to design and access cleavable linkers, and site-specifically conjugate Lp to an anti-IL7R antibody, a validated biomarker in AML and other leukaemia’s. We aim at employing biophysical and chemical biology approaches to validate quantitative and fast release of Lp with accurate spatiotemporal control in in vitro disease models. Finally, we will validate the deployment of the constructs through preclinical in vivo models of AML. We foresee broad applicability of the developed technology, which may have profound implications in drug discovery. Upon successful completion of this research program, we hope to yield a new targeted drug to treat AML patients with improved efficacy and reduced side-effects.",

"objective": "Children today are natives of technology, having frequent access to digital devices both at home and at school. Digital devices are today even more used than TV. Worryingly, the offering of high quality educational apps is very limited and expensive. Parents and educators are concerned about this and are actively searching for better alternatives.\n\nTo help resolve these issues, Smile and Learn places technology at the service of education with the mission of helping children 2 to 12 years old learn while having fun using digital devices. Like the north American educational philosopher John Dewey, we believe that “if we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” Our vision is to become the global leader in Edutainment (Entertainment plus Education). To do so we have developed the Smart Digital Library, a single platform of interactive games and stories that, as of today, provides access to up to 30 individual proprietary apps (100 apps by end 2018). The “Library” can be used at home, on the go or at school and provides “smart” recommendations to children, their parents and educators.\n\nIn August 2016, Smile and Learn successfully completed phase I of SME Instrument, finalizing our first release of the Smart Library rolled out in real production environments both at pilot schools (today more than 100 schools use the Library, including 10 special education schools) and with families (+7,000 active users) in different markets, including the US, Spain, the UK, France, Mexico and Colombia, with very positive feedback. We already have more than 30,000 users worldwide with no marketing expenditure.\n\nWe are now moving forward to make the Smart Library a global state-of-the-art product in the edutainment industry by scaling it up and rolling out a powerful dissemination plan, that we expect to conduct with the support of Phase 2 H2020",

"objective": "Ice sheets regulate Earth’s climate by reflecting sunlight away, enabling suitable temperatures for human habitation. Warming is reducing these ice masses and raising sea level. Glaciologists predict ice loss using computational ice sheet models which interact with climate and oceans, but with caveats that highlight processes are inadequately encapsulated. Weather forecasting made a leap in skill by comparing modelled forecasts with actual outcomes to improve physical realism of their models. This project sets out an ambitious programme to adopt this data-modelling approach in ice sheet modelling. Given their longer timescales (100-1000s years) we will use geological and geomorphological records of former ice sheets to provide the evidence; the rapidly growing field of palaeoglaciology.\n\nFocussing on the most numerous and spatially-extensive records of palaeo ice sheet activity - glacial landforms - the project aims to revolutionise understanding of past, present and future ice sheets. Our mapping campaign (Work-Package 1), including by machine learning techniques (WP2), should vastly increase the evidence-base. Resolution of how subglacial landforms are generated and how hydrological networks develop (WP3) would be major breakthroughs leading to possible inversions to information on ice thickness or velocity, and with key implications for ice flow models and hydrological effects on ice dynamics. By pioneering techniques and coding for combining ice sheet models with landform data (WP4) we will improve knowledge of the role of palaeo-ice sheets in Earth system change. Trialling of numerical models in these data-rich environments will highlight deficiencies in process-formulations, leading to better models. Applying our coding to combine landforms and geochronology to optimise modelling (WP4) of the retreat of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets since the last glacial will provide ‘spin up’ glaciological conditions for models that forecast sea level rise.",

"objective": "The INSENSION project will create an ICT platform that enables persons with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) to use digital applications and services that can enhance the quality of their lives, increase their ability to self-determination and enrich their lives. The target end users of the proposed solution are capable of using only nonconventional, nonsymbolic means of interaction with their environment. Therefore, the platform aims to provide technological means for seamless, and adaptable recognition of a range of highly individual nonsymbolic behavioral signals of people with PMLD to detect behavioral patterns happening in the context of specific situations. These patterns are translated into the affective ‘intents’ of the end user (their approval or disapproval to the given situation) and allow to communicate them to assistive services. This way an individual with PMLD gains a possibility to seamlessly influence their living environment, through new means of communication with other people, changing conditions of their environment or use new types of assistive digital applications. The project employs recent advances in a range of ICT disciplines equipping the proposed assistive ICT platform with natural behavior recognition mechanisms based on gesture, facial expression and vocalization recognition technologies. This is complemented by novel techniques of artificial intelligence and state-of-the-art Internet of Things models. The research and development of the project is conducted within the inclusive design paradigm, with individual with PMLD and their caregivers directly participating in the R+D process throughout the whole duration of the project. This process links a highly interdisciplinary team of experts of ICT specialists and researchers and practitioners of disability studies and care, with due participation of an assistive technology industry representatives.",

"objective": "Curbing greenhouse gas emissions is a challenge of the utmost importance for our society future and requires urgent decisions on the implementation of clear-cut climate economic policies. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) allow to explore alternative energy scenarios in the next 30-70 years. They are key to support the design of climate policies as they highlight the nexus between climate modelling, social science, and energy systems. However, the use of IAMs to inform climate policies does not come free of controversial aspects. Primarily, the inherent uncertainty of IAMs long-term outputs has created several difficulties for the integration of the modelling insights in the policy design. Modelling outputs diverge across IAMs models quite dramatically when they are asked for example to quantify the uptake of key technologies for the decarbonisation, such as renewables and carbon capture and storage. Uncertainty in IAMs descends from lack of knowledge of the future and from IAMs incomplete representations of the future. Uncertainty cannot be removed, but reduced, understood, and conveyed appropriately to policy makers to avoid that different projections cause delayed actions. \nThis project aims to fill this gap providing a methodology which defines the sources of uncertainty, either due to IAMs inputs or IAMs structure, and quantify their relative importance. The methodology will be embodied in an emulator of IAMs, MANET (the eMulAtor of iNtegratAd assEssmenT models) formulated using machine learning techniques to reproduce IAMs outputs. The project will provide a proof of concept of MANET focusing on the uptake of key decarbonisation technologies. The emulator will provide a simplified version of the IAM outputs as a response surface of the model to any variation of the inputs. MANET will be a flexible tool for policy makers and scientists for a direct comparison of IAMs with no limitation of the solution domain.",

"objective": "With the extensive range of document generation devices nowadays, the establishment of computational techniques to find manipulation, detect illegal copies and link documents to their source are useful because (i) finding manipulation can help to detect fake news and manipulated documents; (ii) exposing illegal copies can avoid frauds and copyright violation; and (iii) indicating the owner of an illegal document can provide strong arguments to the prosecution of a suspect. Different machine learning techniques have been proposed in the scientific literature to act in these problems, but many of them are limited as: (i) there is a lack of methodology, which may require different experts to solve different problems; (ii) the limited range of known elements being considered for multi-class classification problems such as source attribution, which do not consider unknown classes in a real-world testing; and (iii) they don’t consider adversarial attacks from an experienced forger. In this research project, we propose to address these problems on two fronts: resilient characterization and classification. In the characterization front, we intend to use multi-analysis approaches. Proposed by the candidate in his Ph.D. research, it is a methodology to fuse/ensemble machine learning approaches by considering several investigative scenarios, creating robust classifiers that minimize the risk of attacks. Additionally, we aim at proposing the use of open-set classifiers, which are trained to avoid misclassification of classes not included in the classifier training. We envision solutions to several printed document forensics applications with this setup: source attribution, forgery of documents and illegal copies detection. All the approaches we aim at creating in this project will be done in partnership with a document authentication company, which will provide real-world datasets and new applications.",

"objective": "When we drive, our safety is protected by a set of technologies that silently watch over the car’s behaviour, intervening to\nminimise the risk of accidents. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is by far the most impactful safety technology in cars,\nhaving reduced by around 40% the number of fatal accidents caused by the vehicle’s loss of control. Although effective, any\nESC on the market suffer from one significant flaw: it cannot directly measure the sideslip angle, which is the key indicator of\nskidding, namely the situation when the car deviates from the driver’s intended direction. The result is that present ESC can\ndetect up to 80% of skidding events, thus still leaving room for improvements that can save lives. To address this issue and\ncatch a huge market opportunity, Modelway has developed a machine learning technology able to accurately estimate the\nvehicle’s sideslip angle in real time. And without adding any new sensor to the car. The key to obtain this result is the\nproprietary and patented Direct Virtual Sensor technology, which can be embedded in standard ESC units to further improve\nthe vehicle’s capacity to detect a skidding event. The DVS technology has been prototyped and extensive tests have been\ncarried out with car manufacturers and their Tier-1 suppliers, showing that the performances are already in line with the\nexpectations of a highly regulated industry as automotive. Now the development roadmap focuses on understanding the\nfeasibility of the integration of the DVS technology in commercial ESC units (Phase 1), to enable a co-development effort\nwith global ESC manufacturers (e.g. Bosch, Magneti Marelli) leading to a pre-commercial validation test-bed (Phase 2). In\nterms of business potential, with around 100 million cars sold each year globally and around 50 in Europe and the US where\nthe use of ESC is mandatory since 2014, we target more than 4 million DSV installed in cars by 2025, leading to more than\n28 M€ of revenues.",
