Blockchain is increasingly gaining importance not only as a siloed technology for implementing on-chain dApps but also as an infrastructure element in the global internet-based computing landscape. In particular, the ability to uniquely identify assets allows easier implementation of traceability and auditability in any tokenisation process within the Internet of Value, thus increasing trust, privacy, and transparency regarding products and processes involving physical or digital assets. This grant proposal focuses on the development of an open “search engine indexing mechanism” that leverages digital identifiers and asset metadata whose states are bilaterally synchronised between on-chain and off-chain systems.

ADITIV provides an open-source “search engine indexing mechanism” that leverages digital identifiers and asset metadata whose states are bilaterally synchronised between on-chain and off-chain systems. Uni Systems is now a strategic investor supporting the growth of Compellio, a software company based in Luxembourg with Denis Avrilion as CEO.

Science Checker - reloaded

/get/bookletCode/attachment?file=StickerOpscidia.png

Opscidia has created an automatic fact-checking tool named “Science Checker”. The Science Checker helps non experts to assess whether a claim is backed or contradicted by the scientific literature. The current project aims at developing a new search technology for improving Science Checker. This new search technology will allow to query the system with a simple question in natural language, it will identify the most relevant articles and extract the answer to the user’s question.

SWH Scanner

SWH Scanner is a free software edited by the Software Heritage Foundation (Software Heritage is under the responsibility of INRIA, the French national institute for Research in computer science and control). It is currently a multi-platform CLI that scans a source code project to discover files and directories existing in the Software Heritage archive and output a summary of the results to different formats. In the near future, SWH Scanner should become a solution to identify open source content provenance and identify potential security vulnerabilities, licensing issues, or outdated components in the software being developed or used.
The project is entirely open source, like the whole Software Heritage archive platform. The swh-scanner project is released under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL).

TEThYS (Topics Evolution That You See) 

/get/bookletCode/attachment?file=StickerTETYS-square.png

TETYS provides improved access to technical/general text to quickly grasp their topics' temporal trends. It is composed of a pipeline for ingesting huge data corpora, extracting relevant topics clustered along orthogonal dimensions, and an interactive dashboard, supporting visualization of topic word clouds and exploration of their temporal series. TETYS aims to make Web users
1) aware of the semantic content of text datasets
2) understand temporal evolution of the topics.

The World Literature Knowledge Graph

/get/bookletCode/attachment?file=Sticker_TheWolrdLiteratureKG.png

WL-KG is conceived as an open community where:

  1. sources from different digital archives are harmonized and referenced by using a common semantic model, in order to assess to which extent they adequately represent non-Western writers;
  2. Information Extraction (IE) methods are implemented to gain knowledge from unstructured information about authors, works, and contents produced by WL-KG users.

Verif.ai

/get/bookletCode/attachment?file=StickerVerif.AI-blue-background.png

Verif.ai project aims to address problem of halucinations in generative large language models and generative search. In the core of the engine is generative search engine, powered by open technologies. However, generative models may hallucinate, and therefore Verif.ai is developing a second model that would check the sources of generative model and flag any misinformation or misinterpretations of source documents.

WAISE – Wiki Artificial Intelligence Search Engine

/get/bookletCode/attachment?file=Waise-Sticker.png

WAISE is an open-source conversational AI server built on XWiki. It uses a vector-based RAG engine and works with OpenAI-compatible LLMs (such as LocalAI) to answer user questions based on indexed content, while always respecting permissions. It is an XWiki extension that supports external data ingestion via a REST API and embeds securely in other applications.
