user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Image learning to create a new online marketing tool' (ShopStar).

assistant: **Innovation**

Europe’s media industry lacks an effective business model for their online content, particularly in the context of falling revenues from traditional online advertising – they need new ways to effectively monetise their content.Our aim is to allow media to generate revenue from their online images. We apply innovative image-analysis technology to detect clothes in online images, and match them with clothes in retailers’ online product catalogues. This creates a lucrative collaboration between online media and retailers – for every customer redirected to a retailers’ website via an online image, media publications receive a commission fee.  An initial version of this automated technology (running in under 300 milliseconds) has already been developed. We can recognise photos of clothes in isolation (an image of an item of clothing on a plain background) and match them to the clothes sold by our 8000 partner retailers (Amazon, H&M…). We then give readers the opportunity to click to find a link to buy the same or similar item. This solution has already been commercialised to several leading magazines (including Closer, Grazia & Be), who have seen online advertising revenues increase by up to 6 times.However, photos of clothes in isolation represent only a small proportion of online images. Our ambition is therefore to adapt our technology to detect clothes in photos of people – representing a much larger proportion of online images. Online readers will be able to click to “Get the Look” of a celebrity or public figure in an online photo, and will be shown links to retailers selling similar items. The aim of our feasibility study is to refine the technological specifications and validate the commercial proof of concept with a base of current and potential clients. With ShopSt

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Emergence of complex internal representations in humans' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Human learning is uniquely complex and powerful in terms of its efficiency, its level of abstraction and its range of skills compared to any other species. The proposed research will investigate the fundamental cognitive and computational foundations of human sensory learning in adults and infants in an integrated interdisciplinary manner. We will carry out behavioural studies, computational analyses and theoretical work, and the questions in each of these domains will be rigorously linked to the topics explored in the other domains. The behavioural studies will question the generally upheld notion that low-level statistical learning of regularities and high-level “rule learning” of explicit rules, hierarchical memories, and emerging abstract social notions must be two fundamentally different and separate types of processes in the brain. Together with the computational analyses, they will explore how short and long-term memory is involved in acquiring new knowledge based on sensory experience. In the domain of theory, we will explore the idea that instead of simple associative learning, what human cortical learning can be best captured by is an optimal probabilistic computation based on previously developed internal models of the world.  Finally, the inclusion of both adult and child studies that are essentially identical in their structure, we will test the generality of our findings giving a uniquely synergetic flavor to our approach.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'HIstory of CAre in the MAghreb. Infectious diseases, healthcare infrastructures and international aid (1956-1999)' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The HICAMA project explores the development of healthcare in the Maghreb region by examining the historical interactions among national sanitary institutions, civic experiences of health outreach, and international institutions involved in global health preservation. The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated the strategic importance of studying infectious diseases in a variety of contexts and from multiple angles. Focusing on containment and eradication programs against infectious diseases promoted over the second half of the twentieth century, HICAMA examines the efforts made by Maghreb independent countries against the spread of diseases with both a respiratory and a sexually transmitted nature. The project conceptualizes the fight against infectious diseases as a first and yet enduring test for healthcare systems' viability in the region. HICAMA adopts a multilayered perspective to assess local, national, and international implications of the phenomenon: it takes into account Algerian, Moroccan, and Tunisian sanitary endeavors against infectious diseases, the role of international donors (WHO, World Bank, USAID) in directing Maghrebi healthcare politics, and considers the local and gendered practices of care implemented by associations active for decades to promote outreach programs. Drawing on archival sources, official and press sources, and interviews, the project employs a novel methodology that combines archival research, oral history, institutional and gender analysis. By recasting the healthcare as a prism through which nation-building, international relations, and local activism can be reassessed - a methodology reproducible also in other contexts - HICAMA aims to have a major impact on the history of the modern Maghreb. Ultimately, HICAMA includes research, com

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Non-invasive monitoring of oil paintings’ degradation via volatile emissions' (PaintWatch).

assistant: **Concept**

Oil paints are characterised by complex chemical curing, ageing and degradation processes. These can lead to challenging conservation issues such as delamination of the paint or formation of disfiguring new components. The chemistry behind these phenomena is an ongoing research topic. Nevertheless, effectively addressing the conservation issues requires a quick and confident method to assess the degradation status of the painting. For this purpose, innovative emission collection methods are very promising to non-invasively investigate the composition and thereby the conservation state of artworks. Emission analysis can detect the volatile compounds emitted by the painting. The goal of the PaintWatch action will be to correlate volatile emissions from oil paintings with their health state. This will be done by developing a protocol for the study of volatile emissions, based on a fully non-invasive sampling strategy coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. This method will have no impact on the integrity of the artwork, thus allowing frequent analysis and monitoring of ongoing damage processes. This goal will be achieved by the systematic study of emissions from oil paint mock-ups, naturally and artificially aged, and validation with the results from historical oil paintings. Statistical and multivariate data analysis methods will be used to identify significant trends, and all the results will be published in an online open-access database.PaintWatch will be the first step in the use of headspace analysis for the conservation of oil paintings. In the future, the developed protocol will have the potential to be further adapted to study the condition of other complex and multi-layered materials, in the cultural heritage field and beyond.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'WEARABLE ULTRASOUND FOR CONTINUOUS BLADDER MONITORING' (BladderWatch).

assistant: **Concept**

Millions of people worldwide suffer from lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), which costs billions of dollars in medical expenses due to a lack of reliable continuous monitoring options. A vital measure of the course of LUTD is bladder volume, but measuring it accurately is difficult because of anatomical constraints in the pelvic region and body. The monitoring techniques used today employ tethered solutions and personnel with training. BladderWatch offers a wireless, compact, and conformal ultrasonic wearable device that is intended to close this gap by providing constant monitoring of bladder volume. BladderWatch provides continuous monitoring throughout daily life without the need for trained personnel and the potential for continuous monitoring, in contrast to existing methods that are limited in scope and necessitate hospitalization. With a flexible, gel-free form factor, high accuracy, and low power consumption, its design puts the comfort and safety of the patient first. By enabling early problem detection, enhancing patient outcomes, decreasing hospital readmissions, and eventually improving quality of life, this cutting-edge technology seeks to completely transform the management of LUTD. BladderWatch aims to overcome this major unmet clinical need in the management of LUTD by drawing on our earlier research in developing wearable ultrasound for implant monitoring and preliminary results. This project has the potential to translate to the real world, improve personalized care, and make the healthcare system more effective.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The Proceedings of the Ecumenical Councils from Oral Utterance to Manuscript Edition as Evidence for Late Antique Persuasion and Self-Representation Techniques'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The Acts of the Ecumenical Councils of Late Antiquity include (purportedly) verbatim minutes of the proceedings, a formal framework and copies of relevant documents which were either (allegedly) read out during the proceedings or which were later attached to the Acts proper. Despite this unusual wealth of documentary evidence, the daunting nature of the Acts demanding multidisciplinary competency, their complex structure with a matryoshka-like nesting of proceedings from different dates, and the stereotype that their contents bear only on Christological niceties have deterred generations of historians from studying them. Only in recent years have their fortunes begun to improve, but this recent research has not always been based on sound principles: the recorded proceedings of the sessions are still often accepted as verbatim minutes. Yet even a superficial reading quickly reveals widespread editorial interference. We must accept that in many cases the Acts will teach us less about the actual debates than about the editors who shaped their presentation. This does not depreciate the Acts’ evidence: on the contrary, they are first-rate material for the rhetoric of persuasion and self-representation. It is possible, in fact, to take the investigation to a deeper level and examine in what manner the oral proceedings were put into writing: several passages in the Acts comment upon the process of note-taking and the work of the shorthand writers. Thus, the main objective of the proposed research project could be described as an attempt to trace the destinies of the Acts’ texts, from the oral utterance to the manuscript texts we have today. This will include the fullest study on ancient transcript techniques to date; a structural analysis of the Acts’ texts with the aim of hig

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Origin and Development of the B cell response during Immunoregulatory Helminth Infections'.

assistant: **Innovation**

One-fourth of the global population is currently infected with helminths, which modulate host immunity against not only their own antigens but also non-cognate antigens, including vaccines. While antigen-specific antibodies and memory B cells are essential for protection against infectious diseases, how the B cell response quality is influenced by helminths remains largely unknown. With my core expertise in studying responses to parasites at the level of single B cells and monoclonal antibodies, I aim to delineate the onset and quality of B cell responses formed during immunoregulatory helminth infections, impacting the development of effective vaccines.The B cell response quality relies on recruiting antigen-specific naïve cells and selecting high-affinity B cells to form antibody-secreting cells and memory B cells. However, how these well-established mechanisms are impaired during B cell immunity modulated by helminths remains unknown. Therefore, the goal of this ERC proposal is to elucidate the molecular principles governing the formation and selection of antigen-specific B cells during helminth-induced immunoregulation and to identify strategies to mitigate modulation.To achieve this, I will investigate the origin and development of de novo helminth antigen-specific B cell responses in the unique controlled helminth infections in naïve individuals and vaccine-specific B cell responses in residents of helminth-endemic areas. Access to clinical samples, advanced human tonsil organoids and transgenic mouse models, combined with my state-of-the-art expertise in studying antigen-specific B cells, uniquely positions me to uncover paradigm-shifting molecular principles that guide B cell responses during helminth infections. Ultimately, I aim to provide the first proof of c

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Testing and Evaluating Sophisticated information and communication Technologies for enaBling scalablE smart griD Deployment' (TESTBED2).

assistant: **Innovation**

Smart grids represent an electricity network that can intelligently integrate generators, consumers and energy storage in order to efficiently deliver electricity. There is a clear consensus that smart grids can provide many innovative services – to date the EC has devoted €360,413 million to support 527 projects on developing smart grid services. Decision-making plays a vital role in these services. But the computational complexity of decision-makings could grow explosively with the size of smart grid infrastructure, the number of devices/users, or the amount of data; If this scalability issue was underestimated, smart grid services can end up with poor performance or limited function, making these services impractical to meet the needs of real-life or industrial-scale deployment. Hence, there is an urgent need to solve the research problem: to what extent the performance and function of smart grids can be maintained without having significant increase of the computational complexity when its scale is changed in terms of smart grid infrastructure size or the number of devices/users? TESTBED2 is a major interdisciplinary project that combines wisdoms in three academic disciplines - Electronic & Electrical Engineering, Computing Sciences and Macroeconomics, to address the aforesaid problem. The main focus is on developing new techniques to improve the scalability of smart grid services, particularly considering the joint evolution of decarbonised power, heat and transport systems. Moreover, new experimental testbeds will be created to evaluate scalable smart grid solutions.  Overall, the main objective of this project is to coordinate the action of 13 Universities (7 in EU, 3 in US, and 3 in China) and 5 enterprises (2 SMEs and 2 large enterprises) with complementary exp

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'QUantum computing for Excellence in Science and Technology' (QUEST).

assistant: **Concept**

The project Quantum Computing for Excellence in Science and Technology (QUEST) will create a research group in Quantum Computing (QC) at the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CaSToRC) of The Cyprus Institute (CyI) under the leadership of the ERA chair Dr. Karl Jansen of the German Electron-Synchrotron (DESY), who is also the leader of the Center for Quantum Technology Applications (CQTA) at DESY. The ERA chair holder will establish a Quantum Computing Hub as a collaborative platform for exploiting QC for applications in science and technology in partnership with CQTA. He will recruit and mentor a senior researcher to lead the team beyond the project end, offer training and education for a new generation of scientists and engineers, and pursue collaborations with other local research teams and internationally, securing further funding for sustainable development.QUEST responds to the rapid developments that demonstrate the potential of QC for breakthroughs in science and technology and the lack of leadership and critical mass of researchers in Cyprus in this field. The project aims to make Cyprus ""quantum ready"", closing the gap that currently exists with advanced EU countries due to the absence of expertise and infrastructure in QC, thus aligning with the objectives of the widening program in general and the ERA chair action in particular. The objectives of QUEST also align and are made feasible by the role of CaSToRC as the national high-performance center of Cyprus, namely by the mission of the center to carry out computation-based interdisciplinary research, and spread knowledge and provide support to local researchers in using computing technologies for research and innovation. QUEST will  allow Cyprus to take advantage of opportunities in
