ICT Journal | The FSO relies on the SDSC for its data science services [In French]

“DEAPSnow”, a project by the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support avalanche forecasters in creating the avalanche bulletin. This product provides essential information about the prevailing snow and avalanche conditions in the Swiss Alps and the Jura.

Have you ever considered the complexity of generating large-scale, intricate graphs akin to those that represent the vast relational structures of our world? Our research introduces a pioneering approach to graph generation that tackles the scalability and complexity of creating such expansive, real-world graphs.

Not all datasets are images and we need architectures that adapt to other types of data, encoding both domain specific knowledge and data specific characteristics. For instance, at the SDSC, we deal with spherical data, i.e. curved images on a sphere, but without clear borders and arbitrary orientation.

Data-driven medicine has a major downside: by transforming Medicine’s trust model, in place since Hippocrates, it creates unprecedented privacy risks that need to be urgently addressed.
