Big Data technologies at the service of the citizens!

Welcome to the first Newsletter of MARVEL, an EU H2020 funded project striving to create a framework that will empower smart city authorities to better support their citizens, utilizing a set of technologies in the area of AI, analytics, multimodal perception, software engineering and High-Performance Computing as part of an Edge-Fog-Cloud Computing Continuum paradigm.

MARVEL will collect, analyse and data-mine multimodal audio-visual streaming data, to improve the quality of life and services to citizens within a smart city, without violating ethical and privacy limits, in an AI-responsible manner.

17 Partners started this challenging journey and, within a short period of four (4) months, have already made significant steps forward.
