"The relaxed atmosphere, spirit of mutual aid and the exchange of scientific knowledge between colleagues at INESC Porto are all positive factors for me, but it was the projects I have been involved in that have really contributed to my scientific development...", Lucian Ciobanu

Gallery of the Uncommon

Following the analysis of the aesthetics of breasts, the researchers at INESC Porto have turned their attention to the pelvic region. The project is called BioPelvic and consists of a vaginometer which is not to be confused with any other mileage meter. This is a phallic device with sensors and yes ladies, there is a wireless version.

Inter-Unit Collaboration at INESC Porto

Inter-Unit Collaboration at INESC Porto

Following the pioneering pre-LAI (Inter-unit Line of Action) on Optimisation (OIL), a second pre-LAI at INESC Porto is being planned that will be dedicated to Signal Processing and Machine Learning (SPML).

A LAI brings together researchers from different units at INESC Porto LA and focuses on a scientific issue or application domain of common interest. The issue or domain must have areas which allow inter-unit collaboration (in projects, publications, lectures) to facilitate the research process and multiply the benefits of the efforts of the individual researchers.

In accordance with the proposal approved by the Scientific Council, the new pre-LAI aims to structure, develop and increase the efficiency of the theoretical and practical aspects of SPML within INESC Porto LA. Emphasis will be placed on the implementation of mechanisms to share know-how relating to the efficient application of SPML in a variety of problems. This procedure will not neglect the theory behind the process that allows for the correct functioning of SPML. The pre-LAI will allow researchers outside of SPML to identify experts who can solve problems and it will encourage the exchange of knowledge and good practices between SPML specialists.

A  mailing list and a website have been created to divulge and promote the LAI’s activities.

Researchers from the Telecommunications and Multimedia Unit (UTM), the Power Systems Unit (USE), the Optoelectronics and Electronic Systems Unit (UOSE), the Robotics and Intelligent Systems Unit (ROBIS) the Center for Research in Advanced Computer Systems (CRACS) and the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support (LIAAD) will all be involved in this pre-LAI. Jaime Cardoso, Fabien Gouyon and João Gama will lead the proposal.
