Big Data Architectures at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya

Today and Wednesday (the 13rd and the 15th of March 2017), our R&D Director will be in Barcelona to give a course about Big Data Architectures.

The objective is to learn the basic concepts and details to take into account when designing a Big Data Architecture. The student will learn the impact of technical & functional constraints on the storage and processing choices. Going further the course will show, through industrial use cases, the raise of new architecture patterns. The course includes a practical part with hands-on session on distributed frameworks.

Contents :

  • Terminology & Concepts
  • Distributed architecture
  • Big Data Storage
  • Big Data Processing
  • Big Data Architecture Patterns (Hands-on session)
  • Distributed processing with Apache Flink / Spark
  • Data manipulation with Apache Pig

Evaluation of GraphRAG Strategies for Efficient Information Retrieval

24.12.2025 / /
Traditional RAG systems struggle to capture relationships and cross-references between different sources unless explicitly mentioned. This challenge is common in real-world scenarios, where information is often distributed and interlinked, making graphs a more effective representation. Our work provides a technical contribution through a comparative evaluation of retrieval strategies within GraphRAG, focusing on context relevance rather than abstract metrics. We aim to offer practitioners actionable insights into the retrieval component of the GraphRAG pipeline.

Flight Load Factor Predictions based on Analysis of Ticket Prices and other Factors

22.12.2025 / /
The ability to forecast traffic and to size the operation accordingly is a determining factor, for airports. However, to realise its full potential, it needs to be considered as part of a holistic approach, closely linked to airport planning and operations. To ensure airport resources are used efficiently, accurate information about passenger numbers and their effects on the operation is essential. Therefore, this study explores machine learning capabilities enabling predictions of aircraft load factors.
