Projects / Fundings
Ongoing
Seed Grant: Developing Privacy Preserving Approaches for Crowdsourcing in Internet of Things
Currently we are working on developing Privacy Preserving Approaches for Crowdsourcing in Internet of Things
Project Cost (in INR): Rs.5,00,000/-
Completed
Application: Business Modelling Intelligent Design Evaluation Application (B-MIDEA)
Project Description in Brief: B-MIDEA is a cross-platform information system capable of retrieving, exploring, analysing, and extracting data related to a company’s business ecosystem from a multitude of online resources (e.g. web hypertext, PDFs, social media, etc.) in order to generate an up-to-date business intelligence model. B-MIDEA enables critical insights into partners, revenue streams, value propositions and customer sentiments, at company and product/service levels. B-MIDEA enables novice to expert business users to explore and create business intelligence models for any organisation’s products/services, including their own.
Funding Agency: Funded by Enterprise Ireland, Cork, Ireland
Project Cost (in INR Lakhs): 104,412 Euros (Approx. Rs. 74,09,460/- as on the starting date of the project)
Project Duration: March 2013 - Novermber 2015
Workshop: Industry Workshop on Computational Creativity and Knowledge Discovery
Project Description in Brief: This workshop covered various different topics on Big Data: Harnessing Unstructured Data, Working with Data – R&D initiatives, and Computational Linguistic Creativity. This workshop was followed by a panel discussion on the Computational Creativity - An interactive panel whereby the members discussed how using approaches from Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Social Networks and Business Intelligence can assist organisation’s in such tasks as: Understanding consumer behaviour, Real time data processing techniques to extract specific information, Smart Approaches to exploring unstructured textual data and visualisation of Data analytics to enable smart business decisions.
