Digital Transformation of Automotive Industry: Action Design Researchand Startup for Last Price Recommendation Engines

The Automotive Industry is one of the most mature and has undergone several waves of digital transformation. We focus on one segment of the value chain where IT adoption has not yet had the expected impact, namely dealer-prospect relationship management. While Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions and methods have been widely adopted, there remains several […]

Large Scale Simulations of Photonic Quantum Computers

Current quantum computers are in the “NISQ”, or Noisy-Intermediate-Scale-Quantum regime. The true potential of quantum computing will only be realized when noise levels are reduced or controlled, and large scale is achieved. Xanadu’s approach is to use photonic technology as the building blocks of their machines. This project addresses two related questions concerning the future […]

Named Entity Recognition (NER) autodetection and Adverse Events (AEs) prediction from Social Media and scientific journals using a Deep Learning approach

Social medias data bases are important for continuous and automated Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) surveillance. Predicting ADRs can reduce the related mortality. A systematic review of the medical scientific literature is required for tracking and identifying the risk/benefit ratio of drugs and safety issues. The implementation of means of standardizing patient’s language used in social […]
