Main activities of the R&D group
Research, experimentation, design and implementation of techniques that allow computers to learn through algorithms capable of generalising behaviours, recognising patterns from provided information and improving using interaction and learning techniques. These learning techniques enable the resolution of problems such as quality control in manufacturing or the creation of decision support tools in healthcare.
PRAIA group's main strategic R&D areas are healthcare data analysis (AI/HEALTH) for diagnosis and early detection of diseases and industrial part analysis (AI/II3D) through image acquisition and 3D processing for sample classification and quality control. Nevertheless, PRAIA also responds to R&D needed in other tasks with a strong AI component (AI/SC), which links with the business environment ITI regularly works.
