Environmental data collection and analysis for the social sciences

Mathieu Aubry, a researcher at the Gaspard Monge Computer Science Laboratory (LIGM*) at the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC), is working on tools which can extract “visual structures” of historical documents and study them on a large scale. Focus on his work at the occasion of AI, Science and Society summit on February 6 and 7, 2025, organized by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

With the number of cancer cases on the rise worldwide, the Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster brings together the best in oncology to support innovators in their fight against the disease. Start-ups, scientists, industrialists... all those with innovative projects in the preclinical or early clinical stages and high added value can join and benefit from an ecosystem of experts, technological platforms and top-level training courses, drawing on the strengths of the cluster's founding members,including the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and its Engineering for Health - E4H - interdisciplinary center.

Driven by major technological advances and a certain hype from the Big Tech, artificial intelligence models are becoming extremely energy-hungry. Enzo Tartaglione, Assistant Professor at Télécom Paris, at the Information Processing and Communications Laboratory (LTCI*), is trying to develop more energy-efficient Deep Learning models. Focus on the researcher's work on the occasion of the AI, Science and Society summit organized by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris on February 6 and 7, 2025.

The Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Ifremer announce the creation of the Interdisciplinary Center for Seas and Ocean, in partnership with CNRS and the Agence de l'Innovation de Défense (AID). Inaugurated in Brest on January 29, 2025, in the presence of Thierry Coulhon, Chairman of the Board of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and François Houllier, CEO of Ifremer, this new center marks a turning point for collaborative research in marine engineering, bringing together researchers, academics partners and industrials.

NeuralTeks, a young gem incubated at the X Novation Center, the incubator of École Polytechnique (IP Paris), is revolutionizing the microbiological diagnostics sector with artificial intelligence. Founded in 2023, this promising start-up aims to transform laboratory analyses by making diagnostics faster, more reliable, and more accessible.

Yanlei Diao is a professor in the Computer Science Laboratory (LIX*) at the École Polytechnique and a member of the Inria-École Polytechnique CEDAR research team. She has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant for her ExplainableAD (XAD) project, dedicated to the detection of complex evolving anomalies in digital data streams. The XAD system is based on deep learning and can provide explanations for these anomalies while returning human-readable information. It has applications in the fight against banking and financial fraud, in the reliability and performance of IT systems and clouds, as well as in biomedical research and diagnostics.

Adriana Tapus, a Professor at ENSTA's Computer Science and Systems Engineering Unit (U2IS*), is trying to ‘model’ humans in order to develop robots with cognitive abilities that can interact with people. Focus on the researcher's work on the occasion of the AI, Science and Society summit organized by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris on February 6 and 7, 2025.

By analysing human-generated data, artificial intelligence can help refine medical diagnoses and adapt therapeutic treatments to individual patients. Nesma Houmani, Associate Professor at Télécom SudParis’s SAMOVAR lab, is working to meet the ‘concrete needs’ of medical teams in the field of neurodegenerative and chronic diseases. Focus on the researcher's work on the occasion of the AI, Science and Society summit organized by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris on February 6 and 7, 2025.

Last December, the Institut Polytechnique of Paris (IP Paris) hosted a major event of the Deeptech Tour, organized in partnership with Bpifrance, on the occasion of the Institute's PhD students welcome day. The event brought together nearly 600 participants (students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and main innovation players) around a common goal: raising awareness about deeptech entrepreneurship and encouraging projects from research laboratories.

Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) is pleased to announce the results of the 2024 edition of its call for projects, Prématuration IP Paris, a key initiative aimed at supporting innovative research and transforming ideas from its laboratories into solutions. This year, 16 promising projects will receive funding, further strengthening the innovation momentum within the IP Paris ecosystem.

The Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) will host an international conference on February 6-7, 2025 dedicated to exploring the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on science and society. As a key part of the AI Action Summit, these science days aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on technological innovation, scientific research, and societal evolution around AI.
