New paper out in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience! We explored how LLMs can help public authorities analyse citizen feedback more efficiently.
Using survey data from East Bristol's liveable neighbourhood initiative, we found sentiment classification achieved >90% accuracy, and LLMs outperformed traditional summarisation methods.

🚰 Did you know that about 10% of drinking water is lost in Germany due to leaking pipes – and in some European countries even up to 40%?
🎙️ In this WDR5 Morgenecho interview, Prof. Barbara Hammer explains how AI and sensor data can be used to detect pressure changes in water pipes and predict leaks early. An example of AI for sustainability and real-world impact.

Nhiều tài xế tại Little Rock (Arkansas, Mỹ) không nhận thức đầy đủ khả năng thu thập dữ liệu của hệ thống camera giao thông phủ khắp thành phố. Các camera này có khả năng đọc biển số xe, làm dấy lên lo ngại nghiêm trọng về quyền riêng tư và sự minh bạch trong việc sử dụng dữ liệu cá nhân.

Lighting Up Cities with Solar Energy 🌇
Solar power can transform urban skylines! From rooftop farms to solar canopies over parking lots, clean power is powering streetlights, EV chargers, and smart‑city tech—all while cutting emissions and creating local jobs.
Cities could generate enough electricity to run dozens of streetlights and charge hundreds of EVs daily, proving that renewable energy makes cities more resilient and livable.

The graveyard shift just got an upgrade Meet the robot dogs patrolling Atlanta’s parking lots!
Atlanta's security landscape enters a new era as AI-powered robot dogs officially begin late-night patrols in city parking lots. These high-tech "Robo-Cops" use advanced sensors and real-time cameras to provide 24/7 surveillance without the need for breaks.

La pioggia che allaga Seoul può alimentare le pompe che la svuotano: un team della UNIST ha installato generatori sui tetti che convertono ogni goccia in 60 volt di elettricità. Niente batterie, niente manutenzione: il sistema riconosce l'intensità del temporale e attiva le pompe solo quando serve.
L'energia dalla pioggia non è più teoria da laboratorio, ma infrastruttura operativa in Corea del Sud.

Are you curious what information might be in the "ether"? Comm abounds. Devices are the hum of our world, AND they generate a massive amount of public "ground-truth."
We are developing a series of #FOSS tutorials & tools to explore these realms freely available to anyone & a laptop. We want to build what you need.
- What interests you? Tell us. We’re peeling the onion & we’d love your help deciding which layer to peel.
