Innovative risk-based tools for ship safety inspection (SAFEPEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Ships are subject to inspections from different stakeholders, such as port states, classification societies, ship owners, managers and operators, among others. Each one has its own inspection method depending upon its role in the vessel operation. Consequently, all inspections monitor the ship condition and report respective data. However no means exist today to inter-relate the data which are sy ...

Computing Veracity Across Media, Languages, and Social Networks (PHEME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Social media poses three major computational challenges, dubbed by Gartner the 3Vs of big data: volume, velocity, and variety. Content analytics methods have faced additional difficulties, arising from the short, noisy, and strongly contextualised nature of social media. In order to address the 3Vs of social media, new language technologies have emerged, e.g. using locality sensitive hashing to de ...

Pharmacoepidemiolocal Research on Outcomes of Therapeutics by a European ConsorTium (PROTECT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Recent pharmacovigilance (PV) issues have led to questions regarding the ability of the current PV system to meet the global needs. Controversies around the assessment of spontaneous reports and conflicting results from pharmacoepidemiology studies may lead to delay in, or inappropriate, regulatory decisions. The PROTECT consortium, consisting of 20 core partners lead by the European Medicines Age ...
