On Thursday 14 March, the Senior Teaching Qualification certificates were awarded during a festive ceremony. Dr. Zhiming Zhao from MNS together with the other fifteen UvA lecturers received the certificate.
The EU Horizon Europe project OSCARS (Open Science Clusters’ Action for Research & Society) has been successfully kicked off 13/March 2024 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Coordinated by CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), the project aims to bring together European Research Infrastructures (RIs) organized into five “Science Clusters” along the ESFRI thematic research domains1.
The project has 18 partners from 8 countries and will last three years; the consortium includes five clusters of European research infrastructures, including environmental earth science, life science, particle physics, Photon and neutron, and social science.
Title: Ocean Data Quality Assessment through Outlier Detection-enhanced Active Learning
BLUECLOUD 2026 partner CNR, 29th Jan 2024
This work has been partially funded by the European Union’s Horizon research and innovation program by the CLARIFY (860627), BLUECLOUD 2026 (101094227), ENVRI-FAIR (824068) and ARTICONF (825134), by the LifeWatch ERIC, and by the NWO LTER-LIFE project.
Abstract:
A computational notebook search system called CNSVRE has been proposed to address shortcomings in existing solutions for Virtual Research Environments (VREs). Existing approaches lack focus on the specific information needs of scientific researchers and struggle with relevance evaluation due to the mixed nature of text and code in computational notebooks.
Abstract:
The discovery and reuse of scientific codes are essential in research, with computational notebooks proving effective for sharing such codes. However, locating relevant computational notebooks poses challenges due to their multi-modal nature and lack of evaluation datasets for fair assessments.
Abstract:
The Argo network, dedicated to ocean profiling, generates a vast volume of observatory data. However, data quality issues from sensor malfunctions and transmission errors necessitate stringent quality assessment. Existing methods, including machine learning, fall short due to limited labeled data and imbalanced datasets.
