The challenges of the extreme-scale multi-modal analytics applications
A MARVEL Workshop at the Data Week 2022
MARVEL is organizing “The challenges of the extreme-scale multi-modal analytics applications”, a workshop at the DataWeek 2022.
The aim of this workshop is to explore the latest EU research outcomes related to Extreme Data Analytics applications in a variety of sectors and environments and focuses on the key challenges addressed in each sector related to AI methodologies and algorithms, Data Management and orchestration, federation of data experimentation infrastructures and ecosystems. Ways each project addressed those challenges or ways they are planning to address them are going to be presented in combination with some brainstorming for common areas of interest. The audience will have the opportunity to participate, raise their concerns as well as provide suggestions for tackling those challenges.

The Special Session is supported by the EU H2020 project Multimodal Extreme Scale Data Analytics for Smart Cities Environments (MARVEL) under GA No 957337.
ExaMode
ExaMode: Extreme-scale Analytics via Multimodal Ontology Discovery & Enhancement.
Exascale volumes of diverse data from distributed sources are continuously produced. Healthcare data stand out in the size produced (production is expected to be over 2000 exabytes in 2020), heterogeneity (many media, acquisition methods), included knowledge (e.g. diagnosis), and commercial value. The supervised nature of deep learning models requires large labeled, annotated data, which precludes models to extract knowledge and value. ExaMode solves this by allowing easy & fast, weakly supervised knowledge discovery of exascale heterogeneous data, limiting human interaction.
OpenDR
OpenDR: Open Deep Learning toolkit for Robotics
The aim of OpenDR is to develop a modular, open, and non-proprietary toolkit for core robotic functionalities by harnessing deep learning to provide advanced perception and cognition capabilities, meeting in this way the general requirements of robotics applications in the applications areas of healthcare, agri-food, and agile production. The term toolkit in OpenDR refers to a set of deep learning software functions, packages, and utilities used to help roboticists to develop and test a robotic application that incorporates deep learning. OpenDR will provide the means to link the robotics applications to software libraries (deep learning frameworks, e.g., Tensorflow) and to link it with the operating environment (ROS). OpenDR will develop, train, deploy and evaluate deep learning models that improve the technical capabilities of the core technologies beyond the current state of the art. It will enable a greater range of robotics applications that can be demonstrated at TRL 3 and above, thus lowering the technical barriers within the prioritised application areas. OpenDR aims to an easily adopted methodology to adapt the provided tools in order to solve any robotics task without restricting it to any specific application.
VesselAI
VesselAI aims at realising a holistic, beyond the state-of-the-art AI-empowered framework for decision-support models, data analytics and visualisations to build digital twins and maritime applications for a diverse set of cases with high impact, including simulating and predicting vessel behaviour and manoeuvring (including the human factor), ship energy design optimisation, autonomous shipping and fleet intelligence. Designing and developing a high-performance, scalable and sustainable decision-making framework for data-driven digital twins includes and requires innovation diffusion and exploitation of network dynamics, and the adaptability to the stakeholders’ needs. In this direction, VesselAI will bring a diverse set of pilot scenarios to the centre of the process, to test and improve the initial proposition, and provide a truly innovative solution that makes extreme-scale decision analysis, using novel data engineering and machine learning techniques, a native engineering characteristic
