user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Autonomous Computational Game Designers - Transforming Exploration via Deep Learning, Novelty Search and Emotive Modelling' (AutoGameDesign) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

AutoGameDesign aims to answer whether autonomous creative systems are able to generate valuable, novel and surprising outcomes. AutoGameDesign explores how computational creators can be equipped with transformed exploratory creativity for the generation of novel and valuable outputs and how surprise can be modelled computationally, as well as drive the search for and evaluate creativity. Advanced machine learning methods are fused with computational predictors of emotive creativity yielding entirely new ways of searching within the creative search space. The computational creators’ output is evaluated within the domain of game design being among the most content-intensive and multifaceted domains of human creativity and, undoubtedly, the richest form of human-computer interaction. The project is built upon world-class expertise in computational creativity, artificial and computational intelligence, machine learning, affective computing and advanced game technology, ensuring the development of autonomous computational creators that will advance the measurable capability of computers to produce results that are self-assessed, and assessed by humans, as useful, original and surprising.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Palaeontological studies on the evolutionary origin of the vertebrates' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

The proposed project is paleontological but of great zoological importa since it throws direct light on the origin of chordates in general and of the vertebrates as a group. It is best done at the Natural History Museum, London, because Dr. Jefferies, leading a small international team in that institution, is an acknowledged expert on the relevant fossils and a large collection is available.  The fossils I shall study belong to the group Mitrata (Ordovician to Carboniferous, 500-320 million years in age). Mitrates have calcitic skeletons like echinoderms but anatomically are chordates. Some are primitive members of the Craniata (within which the vertebrates are included).  I shall reconstruct several of these craniate mitrates, from many countries. Sometimes I shall work directly from the fossils and sometimes reconstruct them by computer from serial sections . I shall consider the soft parts, functional morphology and mode of life, as well as the skeletons, and compare mitrates with extant chordates .

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Improvement of research capacities of the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax in Bio-Processes for biotech applications, tying up with the European Research Area'.

assistant: **Concept**

On the way to a more knowledge based economy and in accordance with scientific and technological agreements with the European Union, Tunisia launched necessary policies and measures to set up and improve the efficiency of research centres such as the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax (CBS). As a key element of the Tunisian Biotechnology Plan the CBS focuses on applied research particularly in terms of use, development, transfer and application of bioprocesses. BioProtech aims to support the CBS in the improvement of its capacities in bioprocesses development such as fermentation and microarrays technologies as well as all related fields such as technology transfer mechanisms, know-how about the EU research framework program and biosafety competencies to be better integrated in the European Research Area. This support will be organized in 6 work packages covering the technological aspect of bioprocesses (fermentation, microarray and biosafety), the incubation and transfer of bioprocesses especially to the local industry, training and coaching in EU-FP7, dissimination of scientific results, strategy and evaluation regarding the focus of CBS and the further integration in the ERA, and the project management. To achieve the objectives 5 European partners have been selected who are highly qualified and specialized in each of the topics. The results will support local economic development through the creation of new or support of existing high-tech companies and more scientific collaborations with the EU. In the field of bioprocesses this means identifying promising results and supporting their path through cooperation, licensing or start-up creation. Comparison and matching between what exist in Tunisia and in the EU will help updating and adjusting the local competencies and

user: Describe how 'Reactive Oxygen Species and the Evolution of Life Histories' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The target of this proposal is ageing and its association with reproduction, immunity and behaviour. This is an area of biology that has intrigued every generation since Aristotle (c. 300 BC). We assess how free radicals (reactive oxygen species), so often identified as factors of ageing and immune disorders, exert selection on living organisms and whether resistance (and defence) towards free radicals may drive evolution of ageing in the wild. In particular, we study (i) how free radicals, the defence systems associated with them and the reproductive and the immune system interact to shape life history trade-offs, (ii) how free radicals impact on survival in the wild and, (iii) how epigenetic factors such as maternal hormones contribute to the formation of behavioural phenotypes (personalities) with different free radical profiles. This project integrates field studies and laboratory experiments using two uniquely suited model species (the Australian Painted dragon lizard and the zebra finch) and combines them with state-of-the-art molecular techniques to investigate variation in free radical production and defences. In spite of excellent work in the laboratory, this is one of the first attempts to study free radicals in the 'real world' and will extend Europe’s excellent reputation in evolutionary biology.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Hybrid control: taming heterogeneity and complexity of networked embedded systems' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of the NoE HYCON is establishing a durable community of leading researchers and practitioners who develop and apply the hybrid systems approach to the design of networked embedded control systems as found, e.g., in industrial production, transportation systems, generation and distribution of energy, communication systems. Hybrid systems provide a scientific paradigm to systematically address the analysis, modelling, simulation, synthesis, and optimisation of digital controllers for physical plants that communicate directly or via networks with other computerized systems and with human users and supervisors.Malfunction of the control system can lead to drastic performance degradation, severe damage to humans and the environment and cause significant economic losses. The interaction of digital controllers, communication systems and physical plants originates complex dynamic behaviours that cannot be understood intuitively. At present, the development of such systems is based on extensive testing and frequent iterations without guarantee of performance or even safety.HYCON aims at a major advancement of the methodology for the design of such systems and their application in power management, industrial controls, automotive control and communication networks. The long-lasting result will be a European Institute of Hybrid Systems (EIHS), designed to become a worldwide focal point for hybrid systems research. The partners of the network span a broad range of expertise, from applied mathematics and computer science to advanced control applications. They share an integrating approach based on the concept of a dynamical system, which provides the basis for understanding and mastering the complexity and heterogeneity issues arising in the design of large distributed

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Nanostructuring graphene and graphitic substrates for controlled and reproducible functionalization' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Innovation**

Graphene is a new class of promising material with exceptional properties and thus warrants a plethora of potential applications in various domains of science and technology. However, due to intrinsic zero bandgap and inherently low solubility, a prerequisite for the use of graphene in several applications is its controlled and reproducible functionalization in a nanostructured fashion. Being a ‘surface-only’ nanomaterial, its properties are extremely sensitive not only to chemical modification but also to noncovalent interactions with simple organic molecules. A systematic knowledge base for targeted functionalization of graphene still eludes the scientific community. The present experimental protocols suffer from important shortcomings. Firstly, graphene functionalization occurs randomly in solution based methods and there is scarcity of methods that can exert precise control over how and where the reactions/interactions occur. Secondly, due to random functionalization, producing reproducible samples of structurally uniform graphene and graphitic materials remains a major challenge. Lastly, a molecular level understanding of the functionalization process is still lacking which precludes systematic strategies for manipulation of graphene and graphitic materials.NANOGRAPH@LSI aims to develop systematic experimental protocols for controlled and reproducible (covalent, non-covalent as well as the combination of both) functionalization of graphene and graphitic materials in a nanostructured fashion at the liquid-solid interface (LSI), along with the implementation of new nanoscale characterisation tools, targeting a broad range of applications in the fields of electronics, i.e. graphene bandgap engineering, sensing, and separation.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Dissecting cGMP- and calcium-dependent signalling pathways that control gliding of a malaria zoite'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Malaria parasites critically depend on an unusual form of gliding motility to colonize their hosts and to invade cells. Transmission of malaria to the mosquito, for instance, relies on the ability of the motile zygote, the ookinete, to glide towards and invade the midgut epithelium. Results obtained in the host team have revealed a central role of cGMP- and calcium-dependent signalling in ookinete motility. Nevertheless, how these pathways control gliding is unknown. I therefore propose to combine real-time quantitative imaging approaches with molecular phenotyping of parasite phosphoproteins to identify and distinguish molecular targets of signalling through calcium and cGMP-dependent pathways in Plasmodium berghei ookinetes. For this purpose, I will use transgenic parasites in which cGMP- and/or calcium-dependent signalling pathways are either inactivated and/or deregulated. The impact of genetically inhibiting or over-stimulating specific protein kinases on motility will be analysed in an automated quantitative imaging assay, allowing signalling pathways to be linked with specific changes in motility phenotypes. I will then use shotgun phosphoproteomics on enriched populations of selected mutants to identify candidate substrates. Phenotyping of stage-specific mutants in candidate substrates will allow the molecular targets of signalling cascades to be verified.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Uniting Statistical Testing and Machine Learning for Safe Predictions'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Recent breakthroughs in machine learning (ML) have brought about a transformative impact on decision-making, autonomous systems, medical diagnosis, and creation of new scientific knowledge. However, this progress has a major drawback: modern predictive systems are extremely complex and hard to interpret, a problem known as the black-box effect. The opaque nature of modern ML models, trained on increasingly diverse, incomplete, and noisy data, and later deployed in varying environments, hinders our ability to comprehend what drives inaccurate predictions, biased outcomes, and test time failures. Perhaps the most pressing question of our times is this: can we trust the predictions for future unseen instances obtained by black-box systems? The lack of practical guarantees on the limits of predictive performance poses a significant obstacle to deploying ML in applications that affect people's lives, opportunities, and science.My overarching goal is to put precise, interpretable, and robust error bounds on ML predictions, communicating rigorously what can be honestly inferred from data. I call for the development of protective ecosystems that can be seamlessly plugged into any ML model to monitor and guarantee its safety.This proposal introduces a unique interplay between statistics--the grammar of science--and ML--the art of learning from experience. Leveraging my expertise in both domains, I will show how statistical methodologies such as conformal prediction and test-martingales can empower ML, and how recent breakthroughs in ML such as semi-supervised learning and domain adaptation technologies can empower statistics. I will tackle challenges rooted in real-world problems concerning (1) availability and (2) quality of training data, as well as (3) test-time drifting data

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Production, dissemination, implementation and evaluation of educational materials on Biotechnology' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The European Initiative for Biotechnology Education (EIBE) was launched in 1991 with support from the Commission to address future citizens of school age by supporting the work of their teachers and to enable them to enter into informed public debate. This was done mainly through in-service training (INSET) provision. EIBE is now a trans-European multi- I disciplinary network of proven ability and consists of some 30 experts t in biotechnology and biotechnology education drawn from 20 centres in 12 EU countries. The Key to the proposal, the identification and utilization of good practice and data which are available nationally, followed by development and adaptation to forms that are suitable for use in other member states. Integral to the process will be scientific analysis of cognitive and affective preconditions of students and their teachers, and a programme of effecting and monitoring revision, evaluation, dissemination and implementation of teaching materials. It will be necessary to develop innovative educational materials which will enable scientific and technological aspects of biotechnology to be explored in , the context of relevant economic and societal issues. Emphasis will be placed on the areas of biotechnology which the Commission has indicated for concerted action. The materials will have the teaching of science and non-science syllabuses in mind. Implementation of the material will be monitored and evaluated; any obstacles to their implementation will be investigated. Information collected will be pooled and recorded on databases with a view to being made widely available. Dissemination will be achieved by expanding the existing EIBE trans-European network through both conventional and innovative means. The former will include the organization of confe

user: Draft an impact statement for 'NOBLE GAS TRACING OF SOURCES AND SINKS OF VOLATILE ELEMENTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal has the objective to greatly enhance our understanding of sources, sinks and processes fixing the composition of the atmosphere at different time periods of time, from 3.8 Gyr ago to Present. For achieving this goal, I shall develop the high precision analysis of noble gases, which are key tracers of atmospheric evolution.The core of the proposal is : (i) the development of multi-collector mass spectrometry analysis of noble gas isotopes coupled with standard bracketing, aimed at reaching the per mil or better precision level, which will constitute a world premiere, (ii) the analysis of unique cometary samples, of ancient sediments already partly available at my laboratory, and of present-day air sampled at different geographical and altitudinal scales, (iii) the quantification of sources and sinks of atmospheric volatiles through the study of the fluxes of noble gas isotopes.With this proposal, I develop a new and extremely competitive area of geochemistry, aimed at better understanding the early evolution of our planet habitability, as well as at improving our knowledge of fluxes of volatile elements triggering anthropogenic climate change. This proposal will establish the leadership of Europe in high precision geochemistry of exceptional tracers, the noble gases.

Microalgae can play a critical role in meeting EU targets to increase the share of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) in the aviation industry from 2% in 2025 to 64% by 2050. SusAlgaeFuel will develop integrated approaches in a circular production model towards the first cost-competitive (reduced by 49% from 12.3 to 6.3 $/kg HEFA) and efficient microalgae SAF: a) direct capture of CO2 emissions from biogas upgrading from Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and utilisation of waste liquid digestate as  low-cost nutrient source to support algae growth; b) novel in-line process analytical technology complemented with machine learning and selective UV irradiation to monitor and purify bacterial contamination in algae culture; c) cascading biorefinery that relies on energy-saving autolysis and maximises solvent recycling to fractionate biomass into lipids (for jet fuel), protein serum (for feed) and cellulose-rich biomass residue (for further fuel conversion) at low energy & solvent requirements; d) algae-specific thermocatalytic pathways for efficient conversion of algae-lipids to Hydroprocessed Esters Fatty Acids-Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (HEFA-SPK) and residue to kerosene followed by a range of purification methods for fuel refinement to meet international aviation standards & certification.Process simulations, techno economic & LCA will be performed to assess scalability from economic, social & environmental perspectives and to identify process improvements. A dedicated commercialisation plan and policy recommendations will be produced to guide future technology transfer from lab to industry. SusAlgaeFuel will culminate in the building & operation of a pilot-scale algal facility on an AD operator site in Ireland (TRL5) with the capacity to directly capture CO2 from AD flue gas,
