More than 50 participants meet in the first AI4EOSC platform user’s workshop in Bratislava
More than 50 people attended the first AI4EOSC platform user’s workshop which was held in hybrid format at the Institute of Informatics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (IISAS) in Bratislava and organised by the IISAS and KIT partners. The aim of the event was to promote collaboration between the different partners involved, as well as the sharing of advances, available resources, how to use them, corresponding demonstrations, and in short, general knowledge exchange between the AI4EOSC platform developers and providers and use cases of the AI4EOSC and iMagine projects. This two-day event has allowed to bring AI4EOSC platform users, supporters, researchers and developers together to share their experiences and upcoming updates of the platform. People involved in the European project had participated as well as iMagine project partners, an EU-funded project which makes active use of the computing resources deployed with AI4OS, with the mission to deploy, operate, validate,…
DeepR, a Code For Earth challenge using the AI4EOSC platform
The recently presented DeepR 2023 ECMWF Code For Earth challenge outcome was made possible thanks to the use of the AI4EOSC platform. “This project wouldn’t have been possible without the computational resources provided by AI4EOSC and the European Weather Cloud”, said Mario Santa Cruz, one of the researchers involved in DeepR. “It allowed us to train AI models that can now be used by anybody”, he added. DeepR deals with the use of Artificial Intelligence for generating high resolution reanalysis datasets and was developed by Spaniards Antonio Pérez, Mario Santa Cruz (both with Predictia, an AI4EOSC partner) and Javier Díez (with IFCA, the AI4EOSC coordinator), mentored by Mariana Clare, Matthew Chantry, Andras Horanyi and Cornel Soci. Santa Cruz and Pérez presented the outcomes of their challenge on 20th September 2023 in the Italian city of Bologna. You can learn more about DeepR and other 2023 Code For Earth challenges here.…

AI4EOSC participates in AIHUB CSIC Summer School
Last week researchers from IFCA-CSIC attended the AIHUB CSIC Summer School in Barcelona, Spain. Specifically, IFCA researchers presented three posters related to different research projects in the area of artificial intelligence. One of them, entitled "Application of federated learning to medical imaging scenarios'' is part of the AI4EOSC project. One of the goals of AI4EOSC is to allow the creation of AI systems on distributed datasets, with a special focus on federated learning. The aim of the project is to support the management of experiments through the platform dashboard. Some of the results obtained in the publication entitled “Study of the performance and scalability of federated learning for medical imaging with intermittent clients”, published in the journal Neurocomputing, and funded within the AI4EOSC project framework, were presented. The use case presented in the poster covers a medical image analysis of chest X-ray images using a federated learning architecture. Applying this…
Horizon Europe INFRAEOSC project coordinators meeting to collaborate on the EOSC
AI4EOSC recently participated in a productive two-day meeting in Brussels organized by the EOSC Association and the European Commission (EC). The gathering served as a platform to discuss various crucial aspects of the project's contributions towards the European Open Science Cloud Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) and the ongoing development of the EOSC. The event brought together project coordinators, representatives from INFRAEOSC projects, experts from the European Commission's DG-CNET and DG-RTD, as well as the Research Executive Agency (REA). The core part of the meeting consisted of lively discussions surrounding the INFRAEOSC projects' individual contributions to the SRIA, focusing on how they align with the overarching goals of research and innovation in the EOSC. To this aim, the EOSC-Focus project is developing a macro-roadmap view of the overall contributions, a commendable effort that will make it easier to get insights of the current EOSC advancement. Project coordinators had the opportunity to share insights, experiences, and…
