The FIND project develops large artificial intelligence (AI) models that contribute to automating complex industrial tasks. The applications targeted by the researchers require new, more powerful AI-models with improved robustness and transparency. Moreover, these models must be able to work with various unexplored types of data. They must be able to be hosted on edge devices such as smartphones or tablets to speed decision-making while maximising privacy. Increasing automation across the high-tech, chip industry, and healthcare segments helps maintain an efficient and competitive Dutch industry and society.
Toolkit
The project builds on international, state-of-the-art AI technology and will develop a novel pre-competitive AI ‘toolkit’ comprising documented and open-source trained models, the necessary software for training and integration, and validated research results.
Researchers from VU Amsterdam will focus on making foundation models (that for example underlie ChatGPT) more suitable for applications in healthcare. AI researcher Mark Hoogendoorn: 'We will focus on making the models better explainable and making better estimates when the models are uncertain about particular advices given as such knowledge is pivotal in healthcare applications.'
Perspectief
Perspectief is an NWO programme funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and executed by the NWO domain Applied and Engineering Sciences. The objective of Perspectief is to (further) develop innovative technologies that strengthen the (international) positioning of the Dutch knowledge and innovation system. These technologies contribute to solutions for societal challenges and can simultaneously contribute to our economy.
