AI4DI-UE
Within the MIAI chair : Digital Hardware AI Architectures
The EU-funded AI4DI project aims to transfer machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) from the cloud to the digitising industry. It will use a seven-key-target approach to evaluate and improve its relevance within the industry. The project plans to connect factories, processes and devices within the digitised industry by utilising ML and AI. AI4DI's mission is bringing AI from the cloud to the edge and making Europe a leader in silicon-born AI by advancing Moore's law and accelerating edge processing adoption in different industries through reference demonstrators.

AQUAPRO
Within the MIAI chair : Contextual Recommendations in Action - Bridging AI and Real-Life Economics.
Coordinators: Sihem Amer-Yahia (CNRS) & Laks V.S. Lakshmanan, University of British Columbia, Canada.
Subjective data links people to content items and reflects who likes or dislikes what. The valuable information this data contains is virtually infinite and satisfies various information needs. Yet, as of today, dedicated tools to explore this data are lacking. In this project, we develop a framework for Subjective Data Exploration (SDE). SDE enables the joint exploration of items, people, and people's opinions on items, in a guided multi-step process.

SPRING : Socially Pertinent Robots for Gerontological Healthcare
Within the MIAI chair : Audio-visual machine perception and interaction for companion robots
Coordinator: Xavier Alameda-Pineda (Inria)
In the past five years, social robots have been introduced into public spaces, such as museums, airports, commercial malls, banks, company show rooms, hospitals, and retirement homes, to mention a few examples. In addition to classical robotic skills such as navigation, grasping and manipulating objects, i.e. physical interactions, social robots must be able to communicate with people in the most natural way, i.e. cognitive interactions. Nevertheless, today’s Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) technology is not well-suited to fulfil these needs. Indeed, socially assistive robots (SAR) that are currently available suffer from two main bottlenecks: (i) they are limited to a handful of simple scenarios which leads to (ii) SARs not being well accepted by a large percentage of users such as elderly adults. These limitations are largely due to the fact that both their hardware and supporting software have been designed for reactive single-user interaction mostly based on keyword spotting where the robot waits to be instructed what to do based on a limited set of scripted actions. In a nutshell, SPRING’s research question is how to develop robots able to move, see, hear and communicate with several actors, in complex and unstructured populated spaces, so that they can to properly fulfil social roles and successfully execute social tasks. Overcoming these limitations raises difficult scientific and technological challenges with tremendous social impact and economic value.

SDE
Within the MIAI chair : Contextual Recommendations in Action - Bridging AI and Real-Life Economics.
Coordinators: Sihem Amer-Yahia (CNRS) & Tova Milo, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
The question of answering queries over ML predictions has been gaining attention in the database community. This question is challenging because the cost of finding high quality predictions corresponds to invoking an oracle such as a human expert or an expensive deep neural network model on every single item in the DB and then applying the query. We develop AQUAPRO, a unified and novel framework that enables Approximate QUery Answering with PRoxy and Oracle to minimize the cost of finding high quality answers for both precision-target and recall-target queries.
