High prEcision and Robust Blind guidance System – HERBS
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of visually impaired people is expected to triple by 2050, reaching 588M in the world. Today, in France, this population represents 1.8 million people. They remain poorly integrated in our society, in part due to mobility constraints. In f
Socio-Inspired Neural Networks for Conversational Systems – SINNet
A single lack of social tact from a conversational system (chatbot, vocal assistant, social robot) can provoke a decrease in the user’s trust and engagement towards the system. This lack of social intelligence hampers a large audience’s willingness to deem conversational systems acceptable. In order
Neuro-Incremental Reinforcement Learning from Human Preferences – NeuRL
In the near future, intelligent agents will be ubiquitous in our daily lives, replacing or assisting humans on a variety of tasks. Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a framework for learning such sequential decision making tasks from data. RL has had several achievements, particularly in game domains,
Artificial Intelligence design and synthesis of nanoparticles and nanoMaterials – AIM
Silicon (Si) cores coated with a thin shell (=10 nm) of a metallic coating (Au or Ag) are interesting for optical applications, particularly if they can be organized into metasurfaces. The strong magnetic dipole resonance of the silicon particle can be coupled to the electric dipole resonance of the
Head & nEck canceR treatment through AI-based magnEtic reSonance-guided Photon/Protontherapy – HERESP
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Radiation therapy is used in more than 50% of patients treated for cancer. Head and neck tumors have the sixth most frequent cancer prevalence and are often associated with poor outcomes and lifelong sequels. Radiation therapy is parti
Silent Pitch – SilentPitch
Speech prosody, which includes intonation, rhythm and voice timbre, carries both expressive and speech structuring information. Pathologies (e.g. throat cancer) that affect vocal fold vibration and deprive patients of their control of intonation thus severely impact their intelligibility and social
Producing Alternative Sustainable food bio-based PACKaging from Mediterranean agri-food by-products and waste – PASPACK 4.0
PASPACK 4.0 aims to produce an innovative and sustainable bio-based food packaging from Mediterranean agri-food by-products and waste, especially pomegranate (peel and seeds) and dates (date pits, molasses), to contribute to addressing the dilemma of food waste and the overuse of plastic in food pac
Validation of bio-monitoring integration in a smart hood in critical aquatic and airborne environments – VIGILENS
The safety and performance of operators in extreme environments in the world of modern challenges such as mastering the seabed and space make human bio-monitoring indispensable. Sensors integrated into operators' suits and peripherals, rapidly detecting any life-threatening anomalies, are particular
An innovative instrument for real-time and high frequency monitoring of mineral dust contribution to PM10 – AERODUST
Mineral particles predominate in atmospheric aerosol, and drought episodes due to climate change significantly increase dust emissions or resuspension, with negative consequences for air quality. The WHO's target thresholds for air quality, and specifically for fine particulate matter, are leadi
optical physics and artificial intelligence for diagnosis – OPAID
The OPAID project proposes the development of an original extended microscopy solution for reading blood smears and classifying circulating cells (white blood cells / WBC). The challenge is to overcome the limits of current solutions and avoid any return to manual reading under a microscope. The p
