AIDA: Artificial Intelligence Data Analysis 

" Pre-training large-scale language models (LMs) requires huge amounts of text corpora. 
 LMs for English enjoy the ever-growing corpora of diverse language resources.
 However, less-resourced languages and their mono- and multilingual LMs often struggle to obtain bigger datasets.
  A typical approach in this case implies using machine translation of English corpora to a target language.
  In this work, we study the caveats of applying directly translated corpora for fine-tuning LMs for downstream natural language processing tasks and demonstrate that careful curation along with post-processing leads to improved performance and overall LMs robustness."

I will briefly survey recent and expected developments in AI and their implications. Some are enormously positive, while others, such as the development of autonomous weapons and the replacement of humans in economic roles, may be negative. Beyond these, one must expect that AI capabilities will eventually exceed those of humans across a range of real-world-decision making scenarios. Should this be a cause for concern, as Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and others have suggested? And, if so, what can we do about it? While some in the mainstream AI community dismiss the issue, I will argue that the problem is real and that the technical aspects of it are solvable if we replace current definitions of AI with a version based on provable benefit to humans.

How not to destroy the world with AI

Earth observation sensors deliver ever-expanding collections of geospatial data at multiple resolutions (spatial, temporal and thematic or spectral). Efficient tools to extract knowledge from these collections are currently missing. Here we present the first release of Clustering geo-Data Cubes (CDC), a Python package to cluster geospatial data cubes by explicitly considering their dimensionality. CDC has three main hallmarks: 1/ it is based on innovative co- and tri-clustering methods that identify groups of pixels with similar spatio-temporal and/or thematic information by simultaneously considering all the dimensions of the data. This overcomes a major limitations of traditional clustering approaches, which analyze each dimension separately; 2/ it provides refined clusters by re-grouping the results obtained from co- and/or tri-clustering. These refined clusters better capture the patterns present in the data and represent a more automatic approach to analyze geospatial data cubes because the number of clusters is automatically chosen via an optimization procedure; and 3/ it allows users to run tasks efficiently by either using NumPy’s threading capabilities or Dask’s parallel computing power. Hence, CDC is a scalable package that can analyze both small and big geospatial data cubes. These hallmarks are showcased through several case studies

The prosumers flexibility procurement has increased due to the current penetration of distributed and variable renewable energy sources. The prosumers flexibility is often able to quickly adjust the power consumption, making it well suited as a primary and secondary reserve for ancillary services. In the era of smart grids, the role of the aggregator has been increasingly exploited and considered as a player that can facilitate small prosumers’ participation in electricity markets. This paper proposes an approach based on the use of prosumers flexibility by an aggregator to support ancillary services at a low voltage level. An asymmetric pool market approach is considered for flexibility negotiation between prosumers and the local marker operator (aggregator). From the achieved results it is possible to conclude that the use of flexibility can bring technical and economic benefits for network operators.

Prosumers Flexibility as Support for Ancillary Services in Low Voltage Level

"A constant stream of plasma is continuously flowing from the Sun. This solar wind reaches the Earth and can have serious effects on our technological infrastructure and health. Multiple spacecraft to measure this plasma and its properties. Understanding where in the Sun such plasma originates help us to understand the connection between our planet and our star. We use modern machine learning techniques that extract automatically data from millions of hours of spacecraft measurements. These techniques do not require the intervention of human experts. Our goal is to allow the computer to discover the properties of the solar plasma without the bias of the scientist. We show in our work how this can be achieved and how it helps the scientists to make new discoveries.

We will present one example of such techniques: unsupervised clustering can be used to segregate different types of solar wind. We propose the use of advanced data reduction methods to process the data, and we introduce the use of multiple classification methods to visualize and interpret 14 years of spacecraft data. Finally, we show how these techniques can potentially be used to uncover hidden information, and how they compare with previous empirical methods."
