2022 Wrap Up

2022 gave us a lot to celebrate, so let’s wrap up! We’re taking a walk down memory lane: 

 

Let’s go for a deep dive into some of the most memorable moments of the year: 

  • We welcomed 35 newranovians (including 3 new researchers).
  • We collaborated on four international research projects, notably on intelligent data integrationinterpretability of AI model decisions, advancing clinical research in medical imaging, and supporting the circular transition of the agri-food sector.
  • Euranovians shared knowledge and built relationships with other AI practitioners across the globe (let’s mention DGIQ, IEEE Big Data, ECML, DEBS, Kubecon, or the SESAR Innovation Days). 
  • We also welcomed 11 interns working on various topics supervised by in-house experts across our three offices. By the way, you have a few days left to apply to our 2023 internships. Find all our internship offers here.
  • We planted 30 trees together to create an Orchard at the Axis Parc.
  • We launched our new 2022-2024 research programme BISHOP to help companies tackle data complexity and ensure data confidentiality and trust in AI models. 
  • We led scientific collaborations with major international conferences and universities (such as KUL, UGent,  Uliège, or Aix-Marseille University) to foster grounded research in data science.
  • We continued our collaboration with Elles Bougent to promote scientific and technological careers for women. Read more about the project here, and contact Maryse to become part of the movement.
  • We played 980 rounds of chess, 15 football competitions, 3 badminton games, and  4 board game parties.
  • Maxime and the Novhack team organised the hackathon’s second edition, welcoming 64 participants from 20 universities in 6 countries who challenged their data engineering and business skills with real-world data. (You can already register for the third hackathon edition here). 
  • We won The Trophée de l’Egalité, in the Best International Corporate Project category!
  • The research and consultant teams published 5 peer-reviewed scientific papers in international conferences.
  • We continued our partnerships with the AI Belgian ecosystem (the Pod, Agoria, Digital Wallonia, AI4Beglium,…) to foster AI innovation. 
  • And finally, we led dozens of projects bringing the cross-domain knowledge of our experts to visionary clients that rely on Euranova. 

Thank you to all our customers and partners, who trust us every day to lead their industries and businesses forward with technologies

And of course, a big up goes to Euranovians who strive every day for excellence, create value, and stand at the edge of knowledge in data science! It’s a pleasure to work alongside you every day 🙂

Happy New Year!

Evaluation of GraphRAG Strategies for Efficient Information Retrieval

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

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.
