Beyond the Lab: “Space-Time Models for Count Time Series”
Time series are data points collected at regularly spaced time intervals. Time series of counts are a special type of time series considering only non-negative integer values. An example is the daily number of hospital admissions, which can be zero or any other positive integer value. This type of data requires models that ensure the […]

Beyond the Lab: Decoding Motor Intentions for Spinal-Cord Injury Rehabilitation
Restoring mobility in individuals with motor impairments is one of the most ambitious goals in neurorehabilitation. At the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and assistive robotics, we are developing Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) that can decode motor intentions from brain signals (EEG), even when data is limited, noisy, or imbalanced. Here’s what makes this research innovative: […]

Beyond the Lab: Federated, Interpretable Trees That Don’t Leak Your Data
A privacy-aware framework for Random Forests & XGBoost in distributed settings, built for practitioners who need auditability, not black boxes. Most federated learning toolkits focus on deep nets and often overlook interpretability. If you work with regulated data (e.g. healthcare or finance), that’s a non-starter. This work delivers a federated, PySyft-based approach for tree models […]

Beyond the Lab: Genomic Data Infrastructure in Practice
Genomic research fundamentally requires three components. Researchers must be able to find relevant data, obtain lawful and ethical access to it, and perform computations close to where the data resides. The European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) addresses these needs by connecting national nodes, allowing researchers to locate datasets easily, request secure access, and run analyses […]

Beyond the Lab: Informed decision-making strategy for resampling in pain assessment
In many real-world classification problems, datasets exhibit a skewed class distribution, known as class imbalance, where one class has significantly more samples than another. Machine learning models trained on imbalanced data tend to favor the class with more samples. This bias toward the majority class leads to poor classification performance on rare but important cases, […]

Beyond the Lab: Multi-head CRF classifier for biomedical multi-class named entity recognition on Spanish clinical notes
🏥 Identifying biomedical named entities from clinical narratives has a great interest in the scientific community due to its importance in treatment improvements, drug development research, and patient record analysis. 💪 Traditional approaches often focus on recognizing a single entity type (such as chemicals), yet recent advancements emphasize the necessity of addressing multi-class scenarios. 🧠 […]

Beyond the Lab: Revolutionizing Human Virus Identification and Reconstruction for Better Treatment
Viruses play a crucial role in many conditions, from rare diseases and syndromes to certain cancers. Yet, most treatments focus on managing the consequences of these diseases, rather than addressing the root cause – often undetected viral infections. The tide is turning, and leading medical centers are now focusing on the viruses that reside within […]
