Projects
Integrated process monitoring and control of active pharmaceutical ingredients production via tensor based data driven modeling methods. iMPC4API KU Leuven
General purpose
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop an advanced data driven modeling methodology for full scale plant-wide API production processes. The constructed models are intended for advanced monitoring and control of the processes, which are understood as integrated systems formed by multiple heterogeneous subsystems. Therefore the key aspect is learning the relationships between process variables along the process ...
Middleware for Data Management in Multi-Cloud KU Leuven
Cloud storage is an essential service model of cloud computing that involves outsourcing the deployment, provisioning, and management of storage resources to external third-party providers. Additionally, multi-cloud (federated cloud) storage setups integrate and utilize storage resources, technologies, and services from multiple cloud storage providers. This approach has become increasingly popular and attractive for a wide range of ...
Deepening the Methodology behind Data Integration and Dimensionality Reduction: Application in Life Sciences KU Leuven
The problems of high dimensionality and heterogeneity of data always raise
lots of challenges in computational biology and chemistry. As the size of data
sets increase, as well their complexity, dimensionality reduction and advanced
analytics will gain its importance. The past 10 years or so, data integration has
become an active area of research in the field of machine learning, bioinformatics
and ...
Algorithms for Bayesian network modeling of high dimensional biological data KU Leuven
clinical and biological information pose challenges in reliable
biomedical decision making. Considering all data pertaining to specific
cases becomes increasingly difficult when clinical data is enhanced by
high-dimensional information such as microarray data, proteomics data
and in the near future even full genome sequences of patients. Bayesian
...
Latent Variable Models for Language and Image Understanding in Social Media and E-Commerce Data KU Leuven
More content has been created in the past few years than in the entire history of humankind. With the exponential growth of user-contributed content, it becomes increasingly important to develop systems capable to intelligently process both language and images.
While understanding language appears effortless for humans from a young age, for computers, this is quite a challenging task. Inherently, languages are ambiguous and rich. Many ...
Clinical Decision Support Systems KU Leuven
In current day medical practice, physicians are confronted with a tsunami of medical data per patient, that come from a multitude of heterogeneous data sources (clinical measurements, images from non-invasive scans, tensors from invasive measurements (e.g. MSI), ‘omics’-data (genomics, lipidomics,..)). In this PhD, we will develop population based clinical decision support systems to assist the physician in diagnostics and therapy ...
Influence of distinct process-induced (micro)structures on the in vitro starch digestibility of common beans: A kinetic approach KU Leuven
Transitioning towards food systems favourable for both human health and environmental sustainability has been recently identified as an immediate challenge. In this context, a significant increase in consumption of plant-based foods (e.g. cereals, fruits, legumes, nuts, vegetables) is being strongly promoted to improve health and environmental benefits. Consequently, the development of safe and nutritious food products from ...
Nitrogen fertilization in ornamental plant production based on in-season demands through proximal sensing and soil modelling KU Leuven
The ornamental plant production sector produces high quality products, but faces challenges in times of increasing environmental constraints.
Growth patterns and nitrogen uptake dynamics of five ornamental crops were determined during three growing seasons (2016-2018). This resulted in nitrogen uptake quantities sufficient for optimum plant quality.
Open field production of herbaceous and woody ornamentals is characterized by a ...
