Efficiency and Reliability in Bringing AI into Transport and Smart Cities Solutions
capacity and the low cost of the Cloud have facilitated the development of new, powerful
algorithms. The efficiency of these algorithms in Big Data processing, Deep Learning and
Convolutional Networks is transforming the way we work and is opening new horizons. Thanks
to them, we can now analyse data and obtain unimaginable solutions to today’s problems.
Nevertheless, our success is not entirely based on algorithms, it also comes from our ability to
follow our “gut” when choosing the best combination of algorithms for an intelligent artefact.
Their development involves the use of both connectionist and symbolic systems, that is to say
data and knowledge. Moreover, it is necessary to work with both historical and real-time data. It
is also important to consider development time, costs and the ability to create systems that will
interact with their environment, will connect with the objects that surround them and will
manage the data they obtain in a reliable manner.
In this keynote, the evolution of intelligent computer systems will be examined, especially that
of convolutional networks. The need for human capital will be discussed, as well as the need to
follow one’s “gut instinct” in problem-solving.
Furthermore, the importance of IoT and Blockchain in the development of intelligent systems
will be analysed and it will be shown how tools like "Deep Intelligence" make it possible to create
computer systems efficiently and effectively. "Smart" infrastructures need to incorporate all
added-value resources so they can offer useful services to the society, while reducing costs,
ensuring reliability and improving the quality of life of the citizens. The combination of AI with
IoT and with blockchain offers a world of possibilities and opportunities.
The development of transport, smart cities, urbanizations and leisure areas can be improved
through the use of distributed intelligent computer systems. In this regard, edge platforms or fog
computing help increase efficiency, reduce network latency, improve security and bring
intelligence to the edge of the network, the sensors, users and the environment.
Several use cases of intelligent systems will be presented, and it will be analysed how the
processes of implementation and use have been optimized by means of different tools
Environmental monitoring of Galway Bay: fusing data from remote and in-situ sources
Changes in sea surface temperature can be used as an indicator of water quality. In-situ sensors are being used for continuous autonomous monitoring. However these sensors have limited spatial resolution as they are in effect single point sensors. Satellite remote sensing can be used to provide better spatial coverage at good temporal scales. However in-situ sensors have a richer temporal scale for a particular point of interest. Work carried out in Galway Bay has combined data from multiple satellite sources and in-situ sensors and investigated the benefits and drawbacks of using multiple sensing modalities for monitoring a marine location
Rapid Deployment of Deep AI Models in Engineering Solutions
The blockchain system, appeared in 2009 together with the virtual currency bitcoin, is a record of
digital transactions based on a huge database in which all financial operations carried out with
electronic currency are registered. The Blockchain (or chain of blocks) is a shared database that
works as a book for the record of purchase-sale operations or any other transaction. It is the
technological base of the operation of bitcoin, for example. It consists of a set of notes that are in a
shared online database in which operations, quantities, dates and participants are registered by
means of codes. By using cryptographic keys and being distributed by many computers (people),
it presents security advantages against manipulation and fraud. A modification in one of the
copies would be useless, but the change must be made in all the copies because the database is
open and public
