Projects

We participate in competitive projects of various national plans, such as the Avanza Plan (Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism/Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade), the INNPACTO Program or Knowledge Generation Program (Ministry of Science and Innovation), in regional programs of the Community of Madrid and in our own programs of the Francisco de Vitoria University.

We participate in European projects of the INTERREG-V/FEDER program and we are currently involved in several Horizon Europe proposals.

We also carry out projects within our research lines with the sponsorship of private entities or with our own funding.

Artificial Intelligence

MELANOMA: Deep Learning for the improvement of diagnosis and anticipation of immunotherapies in melanoma.

Development of Artificial Intelligence models based on histopathological images and clinical data to distinguish between a melanoma and a non-melanoma skin lesion and to anticipate the behavior of the different immunotherapeutic treatments that can be applied to each patient. The use of hybrid models is proposed in order to make a diagnosis between nevus and melanoma and to measure the efficacy of a therapy. These hybrid models will use on the one hand convolutional networks to process the images and multilayer perceptrons for the patient's own data.

ARCHER: Virtual Reconstruction of Architectural Cultural Heritage through Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing

ARCHER’s proposal focuses on the generation of images using Natural Language Processing or NLP models combined with a generative model (GAN) so that, using a text input entered by a user, the image of a singular building of the architectural heritage is generate. The resulting NLP-GAN model will be able to restore photorealistic images in real time, thus facilitating the use of this technology in both professional (architects, public administrations, and heritage restoration companies) and tourist-cultural (museums, archaeological site interpretation centers or heritage buildings) environments.

ARQGAN 2

In this project a PLN model will be implemented, and combined with a generative model (GAN), to generate images of a Greek temple from a text with its description provided by the user. The PLN model should be able to extract the most relevant information from the text and adapt it for input into the GAN network, which will be based on the ArqGAN model previously developed by the CEIEC team to reconstruct Greek temples from an image of their partially collapsed structure.

PLN techniques applied to biomedical signals

The analysis of biomedical signals, especially related to the field of neuroscience, has brought new solutions to the diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases. PLN techniques offer a tool capable of processing sequential data, and can be adapted to process this type of signals, favoring the development of diagnostic biomarkers and to assess the staging of the disease.


ARQGAN

During the last decades, three-dimensional computer modeling tools have made it possible to address the virtual reconstruction of buildings. The problem is that the 3D models respond uniquely to each case study, making the workflow for obtaining reconstructed images slow and laborious. The ARQGAN project proposes the application of GAN (Generative Adversary Networks) to obtain virtual reconstructions of historical buildings from virtual images.

Cost-effective breast cancer screening using mammography, ultrasound and thermography

Development of a comprehensive decision support system for breast cancer screening, through a cost-effectiveness analysis taking into account all its risk factors. The system will include not only mammography and ultrasound, as in other studies, but also breast thermography, a technique whose cost and effectiveness has never been analyzed. For this, recent advances in Deep Learning for the interpretation of medical images will be applied.

MOGA-TR: Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm

The MOGA project seeks to improve energy efficiency in buildings by automating the monitoring of their HVAC systems. To achieve savings, several research areas are necessary, such as the development of prediction models, control engineering, the use of optimization tools, the handling of building management systems and knowledge of the most innovative aspects of the HVAC area. The proposed research focuses on calculating the optimal control parameters needed to achieve the mode of operation that at any given time guarantees comfort, leads to maximum energy savings, reduces the cost of the electricity bill and makes the equipment work at its maximum performance.
