user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Linking Objects to Vectors in distributional semantics: A framework to anchor corpus-based meaning representations to the external world' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Language mediates between concepts in our mind and the things they refer to in the world.  Semantic theories are typically biased towards conceptual or referential aspects. My goal is to develop a theory of meaning that takes both aspects into account, and is supported by computational modelling experiments, so that it will also enable computers to match linguistic expressions with entities in the world. This is a highly interdisciplinary proposal that will bring computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and theoretical linguistics forward.My model is based on distributional semantics, a scalable and flexible approach to computational semantics that, by inducing meaning representations from naturally occurring data with statistical methods, can model large portions of the lexicon and account for nuances in meaning that pose difficulties to traditional semantic theories. Distributional semantics has so far largely eschewed the reference issue, by testing its models on language-internal tasks. The project bridges this language-world gap, and integrates the distributional framework into a referential semantic theory. The project promises to advance our scientific understanding of language, a defining trait of the human species, and to make significant progress towards building computers we can talk to, with the ensuing strong impact on our everyday lives.Even though I am an established researcher in computational semantics and also contributed to semantic theory, I still need to fully develop my own line of research to become a leading, independent researcher in Europe. Carrying out the present proposal at the University of Trento CLIC laboratory will be a fundamental step towards achieving my goal, since CLIC is a world leader in distributional semantics. Conver

user: Explain how 'Establishing stable IRON isotopes of laminated LAKE sediments as novel palaeoclimate proxy' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Under the pressure of human-induced climate change, it is essential to better understand the past natural climate variability. A broader global coverage of high-resolution palaeoclimatic proxy (indicator) data is urgently needed to improve climate projections and adaptation strategies to changing climate and environmental stress. Laminated lake sediments provide invaluable palaeoclimatic information with up to seasonal resolution. The IRONLAKE project aims to develop the innovative methodology of stable iron isotope measurements of laminated lake sediments as a novel proxy for past changes in temperature and wind. Only recently, first studies have hinted that variations in stable iron isotopes of marine and lake sediments reflect changing redox conditions in oceans and lakes, possibly linked to variations in past wind and/or temperature. This project aims to test the hypothesis of a redox-climate-relationship mirrored in iron isotopes. The project will be carried out on existing sediment cores from Lago Fagnano (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) exhibiting characteristic iron-rich laminae that are most suitable for the approach. In a multidisciplinary perspective, a combination of ultrahigh-resolution micro-facies analysis by thin section microscopy and micro-X-ray-fluorescence elemental scanning will be applied to fully understand the general sedimentological and geochemical processes and, specifically, possible seasonal/climatic variations influencing the formation and deposition of iron-bearing minerals in the lake. The gained knowledge will then be linked with mineral-selective iron isotope measurements to infer the sensitivity of stable iron isotopes to capture climatic variations. The interdisciplinary perspective of this project is designed to advance the innovative f

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Heterojunction Solar Cells based on a-Si c-Si' (HETSI).

assistant: **Concept**

The Photovoltaic (PV) industry needs to find new approaches to make solar cells competitive. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer-based technology has a real potential to achieve significant cost reduction if the R&D effort is made on the most critical issues. These issues are the reduction of silicon material consumption, the increase of solar cell efficiency and an improved integration into modules.  In this context, silicon heterojunction solar cells, the active part of which is basically produced by a low temperature growth of ultra-thin layers of silicon onto both sides of a  thin crystalline silicon wafer-base, represent clearly one of the most promising options.  The HETSI project aims to design, develop and test novel aSi-cSi Heterojunction solar cell structure concepts with high efficiency. This project covers all aspects of the value chain, from upstream research of layer growth and deposition, to module process and cell interconnection, down to upscaling and  cost assessment of heterojunction concept.  The Consortium is a balanced team of 12 partners from 6 European countries with a wide range of expertise in the field of silicon for PV covering various aspects from the deposition of thin silicon  films, passivation of interfaces, through characterization and modelling, down to technological implementation and industrial achievement capabilities. The cooperation of Europe’s leading research institutes in the field of heterojunction solar cells (HMI, ECN, CEA-INES, IMEC, UNINE, UU, ENEA and CNRS) will generate synergy effects that will help to provide the know-how needed to reach the optimum relation of cell efficiency and cost. The presence in the consortium of 3 industrial partners, Q-Cells, Photowatt and Solon, which are among the leading European solar cell an

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Corporate governance,innovation and economic performance in the EU' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of this project is to make the analysis of the innovative enterprise central to current debates on corporate governance.  Corporate govemance is concerned with the institutions that influence the ways in which business corporations allocate resources and returns. Corporate govemance is important for business enterprises because it both enables and proscribes strategic decisions concerning the types of investments they should make and to whom the returns on these investments should be distributed. Corporate govemance is also important for national economies, and for the EU, because of the important role of corporations in the allocation of resources and retums on national and international levels. Within the EU many different national systems of corporate govemance prevail, but both European integration and globalization are creating pressures toward convergence to an ideal corporate govemance system. An understanding of the relation between corporate govemance and economic performance is therefore of profound importance to the evolution of the EU.  The broad goal of this project is to enhance our understanding of the relation between systems of corporate govemance and economic performance among the nations of the EU. The specific objectives of this project are: - to analyze how prevailing systems of corporate govemance in EU nations influe the investment strategies and the distribution of corporate revenues of industrial corporations based in those nations; - to compare the influence of corporate govemance on corporate investment strategy and revenue distribution among EU nations and with the United States and Japan; - to deterime the extent to which increasing intemational competition and intergenerational dependence are creating pressures on national sys

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Feasibility study on Opto-Magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy for cancer screening' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cancer is among the leading causes of death in the modern world with over 8 million cancer related deaths globally and over 1 million in the EU. The estimated economic costs of this EU social problem in 2009 was over €120 billion with the healthcare costs at 40% of this amount.  Early identification of cancers continues as a key priority to reducing loss of life and subsequent treatment costs. Screening for cervical cancer is very effective at controlling the disease, but the costs for the 32 million women involved in EU screening programmes costs approximately €960 million per year. Tumour Trace Limited have developed OMIS, an innovative cancer screening methodology and device which offers a reduction of 75% costs for laboratories and accuracy of over 95%. This technology uses Opto-Magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy (OMIS) to provide an objective cancer diagnosis and offers a step change in accuracy, costs and speed of screening. Current methods are expensive, time consuming and subject to false results as the screening technologies rely on pathology judgements rather than objective molecular biophysical properties that are measured by OMIS. Tumour Trace have validated this technology with several pre-clinical studies for cervical cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer. Tumour Trace have plans to commercialise this technology in cervical cancer screening programmes initially for the UK, Serbia and India; however further market research included in this Phase 1 application is required to support uptake across the wider EU market and to explore the potential impact in other cancer areas. This ground breaking technology will lead to improved clinical decision making and better health outcomes through earlier cancer detections and a reduction of false results; this in turn wi

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Dynamic response of cells to viscoelastic forces'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Mechanobiology explores how physical forces affect cellular processes, providing insights into areas like embryogenesis and tumor growth. While most studies focus on cells responding to forces stemming from elastic materials, biological materials are viscoelastic. Single materials elastically resist deformation while viscously relaxing with a multitude of relaxation times. Whereas viscoelasticity is increasingly acknowledged in mechanobiology research, its effects on cell behaviour remain poorly understood. This project aims to uncover the mechanisms behind viscoelastic mechanotransduction, by considering cell dynamics and multiple relaxation times within the cell environment. I will engineer hydrogels with tuneable viscoelastic properties, culture fibroblasts on them and employ cutting-edge (live cell) fluorescence microscopy and computational modeling of the cellular mechanotransduction. The hydrogels' elasticity will be tuned by the 3D crosslinked network, and viscosity by linear polymers within the network. Considering properties of gel and force-sensitive proteins inside the cell a stochastic simulation will predict and explain cell behavior, a data-driven model will infer properties from experimentally observed cell behavior. Experimentally, I will characterize mouse fibroblast mechanotransduction on these gels, focusing on adhesion, cytoskeleton, and YAP/TAZ activity, using fluorescent proteins and confocal microscopy. Chemical perturbations of the cytoskeleton will validate the model. Spanning experimental and theoretical methods from material science, cell biology, and computational sciences, this project will shed light on a crucial but underexplored aspect of mechanobiology. As mechanical changes in the cell enviroment are a hallmark of many tumors, this rese

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Incentivizing Citizen Exposure to Quality News Online: Framework and Tools', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Populism, polarisation, and wavering support for democratic norms are pressing threats to the EU. NEWSUSE seeks to explain and remedy these threats by bringing the problem of insufficient news consumption to the forefront. Rather than focusing on echo chambers, misinformation, or filter bubbles, I argue that very low news use among citizens is a drastically overlooked problem, which leads to voting misaligned with individual interests and susceptibility to manipulative, populist and misinformed rhetoric. Brexit and the 2016 US election are key examples. Because greater news exposure can make citizens more resilient to the various democratic threats, it is urgent to address the fundamental question: How to sustainably incentivize the use of quality news? Toward this end, NEWSUSE advances a theoretically driven and applicable model that accounts for individual, algorithmic and social factors influencing news (non-)use and – therefore – also the approaches to promoting news intake. Building on this model, NEWSUSE designs validated computational tools to increase people’s consumption of quality news, pinpoints whether it is the citizens, social contexts, and/or recommender systems that need to be tweaked, and tests the democratic effects of increased news use across political contexts and social media platforms. NEWSUSE relies on cutting-edge multidisciplinary methods, combining quantitative and qualitative, observational and over-time experimental designs and incorporating the latest advances in computer and computational social science, the first project to apply these innovative approaches conjointly and comparatively. NEWSUSE advances academic knowledge and its findings will be crucial for scholars across disciplines, (non-)governmental organizations, and policymakers w

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Compact THz lasers based on graphene quantum dots' (LEON).

assistant: **Concept**

The ambition of this project is to open new horizons in the field of graphene-based devices for THz technology. The major objective is to develop compact THz amplifiers and lasers operating at room temperature, analogous to the concept of semiconductor lasers in the visible and telecom wavelength range. THz radiation is extremely attractive for fundamental investigations of matter and emerging applications including, for example, security screening, medical imaging and spectroscopy. However, the THz spectral range remains one of the least exploited spectral regions, mainly due to the lack of compact powerful sources. The development of the typical semiconductor-laser scheme emitting at THz frequencies has been seriously hampered by the absence of an appropriate material with a sufficiently small bandgap. The LEON project addresses this technological and scientific blocking point with new semiconductor-laser schemes for THz emission centered on the integration of graphene-based materials. Indeed, graphene is potentially an excellent candidate for a THz semiconductor-laser model owing to its ‘zero’ bandgap. However, non-radiative recombination mechanisms, especially Auger recombination, reduce the lifetime of the optical gain to few hundreds of femtoseconds. This phenomenon drastically limits the feasibility of a THz laser. In order to suppress these detrimental non-radiative processes, a new concept is needed. The project proposes to exploit the full discretization of electronic states in graphene quantum dots. This high-risk high-gain project will provide important and far-reaching scientific advances, which cannot be achieved with the current state-of-the-art approaches.This project has three major cornerstones: i) the demonstration of THz amplifiers based on graphene

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Nano-structured Non-magnetic and Magnetic Multi-layers' (NANOMULTI).

assistant: **Concept**

Multi-layer thin film structures consisting of alternating layers of two different materials, nanostructured in one dimension, have unique structural, electronic and magnetic properties with a wide range of applications. Ion-beam irradiation can modify multi layer structure and properties in many useful ways. For example, some magnetic multi-layers, when irradiated with ion beams show a spin-orientation transition - a useful property for achieving patterned ultrahigh-density magnetic recording media.The aim of this project is to utilize the facilities and expertise at Forschungszentrum Rossendorf (FZR) tomodify multi-layers with ion irradiation, analyse micro-structural aspects of nonmagnetic and magnetic multi-layers, investigate their properties and establish the structure-composition-property relationship. Ion-beam induced migration of magnetic impurities in nonmagnetic multi-layers and its effectiveness for the fabrication of periodic layer of magnetic nanoparticles, separated by nonmagnetic matrix, will be investigated. Interface roughness and layer composition, which control multi-layer properties, will be determined with high precision and the mechanism for modification will be investigated.
