1 – LightAI4Comfort

This project aims at developing an AI-driven lighting control system adaptable to different office spaces. This system is conceived to manage the solar admission through electric blinds and the electric lighting in order to maximize the use of daylight, while avoiding direct sunlight as a potential source of glare. Unlike other systems, our setup does not include any sensor nor camera inside the space, thus enforcing privacy preservation for the user(s) and reducing infrastructure costs.

2 - MHTI

The objective of the project "Mental Health in Tech Industry" is to provide the general public with a prediction model based on the data from OSMI (Open Sourcing Mental Illness) of possible mental health disorders, as well as an indication to consult professionals in the area or point out improvements in the working conditions of a particular company.

3 - BISS

BISS (Bugzilla and Intranet Semantic Search) aims to provide a simple interface to help Idiapers find important information on Intranet and Bugzilla. The interest of this type of search lies in the fact that we will use semantic search to offer relevant results. It can be extended to other companies looking for ways to make their internal knowledge more accessible to their employees.

4 – LaternaMagica

LaternaMagica is an interactive beamer that can project on different surfaces in an indoor environment. The interaction capability will be achieved through natural gestures and gaze by using different existing AI techniques. The proposed device will be conceived with a motorized mirror coupled with a beamer/projector and an RGBD camera.

5 – SolveHR: Natural language inference for professional search

During ICC we will build an AI-based model which can flexibly match job descriptions (and selection criteria) to people's CVs. The project will deliver a platform which allows HR professionals to state their selection criteria preferences, and using natural language inference, to find a best-matching set of candidates (and transparently, provide a supporting explanation).

6 – TRANSACT

Targeted anticipation of customer expectations through a holistic and systemic approach to data.

1 – innovAItor

Creating new ideas, products, or services that hit the market is a challenge. Innovation teams have a hard time trying to think out-of-the-box and coming up with exactly that novel product that fills the users’ needs. We will create a AI tool that helps companies to innovate by learning from large time-stamped corpora how new concepts are created and building a model that incorporates domain-specific knowledge and relevant social media context to track trends and users' needs and wishes.

2 - AICIdemo

Can AI really replace quality optics in our photo cameras? We are developing a hands-on demo around AI-based computational imaging. The demo will both illustrate the imaging process (from training to testing) as well as highlight the feats and limitations of this technology.

3 - MyLinguist

These master movements can be extracted from sources like YouTube or recorded videos of experts. This allows the user to have an interactive learning experience without the need for a coach.

Deep Image Priors
In this project, the team takes on a crucial question: can today's machine learning programs be trusted not to be fooled by ill-intentioned actors and algorithms? The team focuses on identifying ways to discriminate edited and tampered images from real ones, in order to tackle trust and reliability issues with current and future automated computer vision based applications which often have critical real-world consequences.

CMIR
In the medical field, images are produced in ever increasing quantities and used for diagnostics and therapy. Content–based handling of medical images could improve the process of clinical decision–making and the integration of content-based access methods into Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) have already been created. Pushing this idea to built a human-centered AI system could bring advances in diagnostics, teaching and research.

Homemade
Homemade is an app which assists you in the process of cooking at home and generating awareness around it.

trIAge
The system for triage and prioritizing care in the medical emergency mostly follows the Manchester protocol, which organizes the patient service queues for medical care. Still, it can reverse priorities and put people's lives at risk. Therefore, we are proposing a new AI-based triage system that considers individual factors such as medical history, disease evolution from exams, genetics, real-time vital signs coming from wearables, besides contextual factors like local legislation, health plan, and age.

Virtual Fitting Room
The project aims to provide a simulated fitting room experience for online clothes shopping by letting users apply new clothes into their own image captured by webcam or phone camera. With the recent advantage of deep learning, GAN-based style transferring, and web technologies, client-side AI processing, our project targets not only user experience but also preserving user privacy.
