Projects

Corporate Default Forecasting with Machine Learning

Jordi Moragas, Bluecap Management Consulting

Machine learning to predict the probability that someone will be able to get into a loan without faulting. We will focus on the data science process. Python.

COVID Vaccine Roll-out solution

Sandra O., Patricio P., Tomás B., Quim A.; Accenture

Python, but there's another possibility.

Learning to throw rigid objects with a robotic arm

Adrià Colomé, IRII

We will teach a robot to throw an object from a starting point to a target one. Python (or Matlab).

Motion planning for a car-like robot in a cluttered environment

Federico Thomas, IRI

We'll determine a path between a start and end point on a plane with obstacles. The car will have to maneuver. Matlab.

Improving techniques for carbon capture (and other environmental contaminants)

Tim Myers, Centre de Recerca Matemàtica

Mathematical model which measures how much CO2 is adsorbed by some weird thingy they've made.

Coral reefs. Their importance and demise

Dr Lucy C Auton, CRM

Model to evaluate the key actions we can take to partially fix the problem. Matlab.
