GEOSummit – Webinar – Vom Punkt zur Information

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am 12. Mai 2022.

Punkt-basierte Auswertungen sind schon immer Teil von räumlichen Analysen gewesen. Mit den technologischen und methodischen Entwicklungen können nicht nur Punktdaten mit neuen Verfahren erhoben, sondern auch über stark erweiterte Auswerte- und Interpretationsmöglichkeiten in einem neuen Massstab ausgewertet werden.

In diesem Webinar geben drei Kurzvorträge aus Industrie und Forschung einen Einblick, wie mit Punkten als Informationsträgern gearbeitet werden kann und was das Potenzial moderner punkt-basierter Analysen ist. Dabei wird der Bogen gespannt von multi-sensoriellen Aufnahmeverfahren über räumliche Verteilungsmuster bis hin zur Charakterisierung von Punkteigenschaften über die Zeit.

Weitere Details folgen in Kürze.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Photonics: is it the golden goose?

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am 10. Mai 2022.

Methods of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning provide a powerful set of tools, which today can increasingly be used in production processes.

Well-known applications include visual quality inspection and predictive maintenance. But it turns out that AI tools can do much more. These tools are about complementing and expanding specific expertise that can be used for continuous process improvement or even for the development of customized client solutions.

When is it worthwhile to leverage these potentials or the “golden eggs”? What are the prerequisites for this and which experts can help? We would like to explore these questions in this NTN Innovation Booster Workshop. Users and AI experts are invited to discuss together the benefits, potential challenges and prerequisites for the successful use of AI in photonics for production processes. In addition, best practice examples will be shown where AI is already successfully adding real value in photonics applications.

Smart Services Summit: Smart Services creating sustainability

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am 4. Mai 2022.

As the adoption of Smart Services continues to accelerate, we see an opportunity to apply the emerging technology to provide new value propositions and business models that provide tangible sustainability outcomes that help us and the planet. In 2021 we held the Smart Service Summit “in person” at a fantastic location overlooking the lake of Zurich. The focus was on the impact of COVID-19, and in hindsight, we were between two outbreaks. This year we would like to leave COVID-19 behind us and look to build a brighter future. We are this year going to focus on sustainability as we think it is time to give equal weight to the social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainability.

The summit in 2022 aims to assess new and emerging services that are enabled by technology and where the services are co-delivered to support sustainability. In doing so, we hope to answer some of these questions:

how is the service quality and value impacted through digital technologies?
how can you transform the customer (or a third party) into a service partner?
how does collaborative working impact value co-creation?
what is the impact of smart services on customer experience?
how does the nature of the service delivery change?
how can organizations be enabled to foster digital value co-creation?

All of the papers should consider one or more of the three pillars of sustainability (i.e., social, economic, and environmental). This is important as this consideration will allow us to build a sustainable future.

As with previous years, we are looking for early-stage research and will again publish the proceedings with Springer. Furthermore, we will use industry to set the scene and the context from their position and follow them with impactful academic presentations. We anticipate that we will have a physical summit in Zürich!

All papers will undergo a blind peer-review process. The articles will be published again with Springer. Accepted papers will be presented in person in Zurich.

Data Science Workshop – Focus on Sales & Marketing

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am 4. Mai 2022.

Zielpublikum: Professionals aus den Bereichen Sales & Marketing

Der Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) hat in den letzten Jahren global sowie auch in der Schweiz ein starkes Wachstum erlebt und ist zu einem der grössten Treiber der Digitalisierung geworden. Ein Grossteil der Schweizer Firmen planen kurzfristig den Einsatz von KI oder nutzen sie bereits. Welche Bereiche von KI gibt es? Welche Probleme können damit im Bereich Sales & Marketing (S&M) gelöst werden? Durch verschiedene interaktive Tasks führen wir die beiden Bereiche KI und S&M zusammen, finden heraus welche Probleme mit KI gelöst werden können und welche nicht, und erhalten einen vertieften Einblick über Anwendungen von KI in den Bereichen.

Expert Group Meeting – Natural Language Processing in Action

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am 3. Mai 2022.

It is our pleasure to invite you to an upcoming event organised by the data innovation alliance and SwissNLP, the Swiss Association for Natural Language Processing (https://swissnlp.org/) on Tuesday, May 3rd at Nüü (Lagerstrasse 45, 8004 Zurich, ground floor).

We will combine an NLP Expert Group Meeting on Multimodal AI with the SwissNLP General Assembly 2022, followed by an apéro and socialising/networking.

16:00 – 17:00: SwissNLP General Assembly 2022
- Annual and Financial Report 2021
- Budget & activities for 2022
- Board elections for 2022
- Discussions & Varia
17:15 – 18:30: Expert Group Meeting on Multimodal AI
An exciting new research direction, Multimodal Artificial Intelligence concerns the creation of AI models which can jointly process different types of inputs such as images, text, audio, video, or structured (tabular or graph) data. This opens up possibilities for applications which can interact with the world in new ways and address much more complex use cases.

A recent example is MUM [1], Google’s “Multitask Unified Model”, which can answer multimodal search queries such as “Are these hiking boots [see picture] suitable to hike Mount Fuji?”

In the meeting, we plan for 1-2 short presentations (10min each), followed by an open discussion of the topic. One potential (and intended) outcome is ideas for joint projects!

Looking for Speakers: If you would like to share your experience in Multimodal AI with the group, please let us know. The presentation may include a success story, a collection of best practices, an open problem, or even an outline of a project that would benefit from Multimodal AI. It would be great to discuss positive experiences, as well as blockers and limitations. If you would like to present, please send us your presentation titles (email to ciel@zhaw.ch, natalia.korchagina@pwc.ch). Deadline is Monday, April 25.
From 18:30: Apéro & socialising/networking
Join us to exchange & mingle over drinks & snacks!

It would be great to see many of you in person, but online participation is also possible for both events.

Please register using the link from the invitation mail.
Deadline for registration: Wednesday, April 27.
