AI REGIO PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

 Experiment of Intellimech from Lombardy: Natural Language Processing for Troubleshooting
Intellimech is leading the experiment “Natural Language Processing for Troubleshooting”, focused on Product Engineering & Lifecycle Management wihtin AI REGIO.
 
 
       The Challenge:
Troubleshooting systems can bring significant benefits in the management of machines, hindered by the increasingly high complexity of industrial assets. However, the available tools are often reduced to rigid decision trees, featuring poor usability and requiring significant efforts to manage and continuously update the knowledge base.
 
 
       Progress of Intellimech:
Intellimech has already developed an early-stage prototype applied to discriminate among the failure modes of a crane that exploits machine learning algorithms to improve the troubleshooting systems flexibility. However, this tool relies on closed-ended questions built upon a limited source of knowledge whose quantity, quality and intelligibility highly affect the system performance.
Please, message us via the AI REGIO contact from, if you want to know more about this experiment.
 Further development:

This experiment will exploit NLP algorithms to achieve a troubleshooting system featuring an advanced human-machine interaction based on free text or speech dialogue, enabling the system to accommodate mistakes and adapt to the competencies of the specific user.
 
Moreover, the system is intended to be integrated with a self-learning mechanism that will automatically enrich its knowledge over time by processing the ongoing issues. This structured data collection can enable enterprises to identify unconsidered faults, as well as new associations between system malfunctions and component failures and, on this basis, optimize the assets design and integrate the maintenance manuals.

The Vanguard Initiative has started a brand-new pilot on Artificial Intelligence
The AI Pilot is jointly lead by Region Baden-Württemberg and Region Emilia-Romagna, and to date 12 Vanguard Regions are participating in the new pilot activities.

AI Pilot activities aim at showcasing the advantages of Artificial Intelligence in the industrial sector, while taking into account defining topics, such as the impact of AI on competitiveness and revenues, workers and employees and the social environment and ecosystems.

To get to know the activities planned for this year and to learn more about how to be part of them, make sure to join the kick-off meeting on 17th May 2021.

AI-DLDA 2021 International Summer School on Artificial Intelligence: from deep learning to data analytics
The fourth edition of AI-DLDA 2021, the International Summer School on Artificial Intelligence, is set to take place from June 28th to July 2nd 2021.
The Summer School is addressed to all the young researchers, Ph.D. Students and industry practitioners who wish to stay updated about the most recent advances in the area of Artificial Intelligence, ranging from deep learning to data analytics.
 
The school will give an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research and will cover a large spectrum of current research activities and industrial applications deal with big data, computer vision, human-computer interaction, biomedical informatics, deep learning, and serious games.
 
AI-DLDA 2021 is promoted by Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) of Udine, DITEDI – ICT Cluster of Friuli Venezia Giulia, University of Udine and Area Science Park within IP4FVG, regional digital innovation hub which supports the digital transformation of the companies.
 
Due to the persistence of the Covid-19 pandemic emergency, this edition will be held exclusively online.

DIVE INTO #AI
A bonus material worth sharing! Explore interesting materials on AI development around the globe and keep up with the news: 
 
TED Talk: How bad data keeps us from good AI
 
The future economy won’t be built by people and factories, but by algorithms and artificial intelligence, says data scientist Mainak Mazumdar. But what happens when these algorithms get trained on biased data?
 
Drawing on examples from Shanghai to New York City, Mazumdar shows how less-than-quality data leads to AI that makes wrong decisions and predictions — and reveals three infrastructural resets needed to make ethical AI possible.
