Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with Escuela Politécnica del Ecuador and the ASEPEYO hospitals in Barcelona and Madrid, has developed a system of exercise video games (or exergames) that promotes the rehabilitation of people with mobility problems in their hands and wrists.

Scientists from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with a research team from Ericsson and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, have developed an artificial intelligence-based software programme that can search for information and make recommendations for biomedical image analysis.

A research project led by the Desertification Research Centre (CIDE, UV-CSIC-GVA) has successfully predicted the ecological interactions that occur in little-analysed plant communities based on coexistence patterns from a well-studied ecosystem in Alicante. The study employed transfer learning, a machine learning technique that introduces a new approach to biodiversity research and conservation.

Scientists from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) and Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) have created an early warning system based on artificial intelligence to predict massive outbreaks of cyanobacteria in fresh waters. Using machine learning and deep learning models, the system could help protect aquatic ecosystems and improve water management.

The results not only improve the efficiency and scalability of cryptographic proof systems, but also open up new possibilities for ensuring the integrity, fairness and privacy of data processing tasks in various applications of AI and image processing.

A Digital Archaeology pioneering study has revealed that the eyed idols of the Iberian Peninsula, prehistoric figures carved from long bones that represent eye-shaped motifs, had their original focus in the south of the current province of Valencia and the north from that of Alicante, specifically the basin of the Serpis river, and from there they expanded to those of the Tajo-Jùcar rivers, and also towards the Segura-Guadiana.

Researchers develop a new computer tool to investigate the complexity of the genome A team from the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology (UV-CSIC) has published in Nature Methods its own software to analyse data obtained by long-read sequencing of the genome. This system makes it possible to discover new RNA molecules and assign them a function in the creation of tissues.

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is coordinating one of the five BBVA Foundation's Fundamentals Programme's innovative research projects to explore core issues in basic science. Specifically, the UC3M project, in which research staff from the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Florida (UF) in the USA are also participating, will analyse the mutual dependence between social relations and cultural characteristics.

Researchers create VIPERA, a software that evaluates how SARS-CoV-2 evolves throughout the infection A research team from the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio, a joint centre of the University of Valencia and the Spanish National Research Council) and other Spanish centres has created software that allows analysing the SARS-CoV-2 evolution within patients who suffer chronic infections from this virus, which can last many months.

UPM and UC3M scientists develop a high-precision router Your next router will know where you're sitting. A team of researchers from two Madrid universities - Polytechnic (UPM) and Carlos III (UC3M) - has developed a prototype router with high positioning accuracy that allows them to know the exact location of a mobile phone.

An article from the Image and Signal Processing (ISP) research group of the University of Valencia (UV), led by Gustau Camps-Valls and which has used Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool, concludes that the socioeconomic level explains the population movements that occur after catastrophes generated by extreme natural phenomena such as floods, windstorms and landslides.

A researcher at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) has succeeded in simulating on an IBM quantum computer the creation of quantum entanglement by means of the gravitational field. The work, published in the journal EPJ Quantum Technology , could help in the experimental validation of gravity as a quantum force.

A group of researchers from several international universities and research centres analyze the local network interactions of IoT devices and mobile apps, and demonstrate that a variety of security and Smart Homes: Trusted and Secure Environments? Smart homes are becoming increasingly interconnected, comprising an array of consumer-oriented IoT devices ranging from smartphones and smart TVs to virtual assistants and CCTV cameras.

A research team from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with University College London in the United Kingdom, has carried out a study to analyse how chronic pain affects each patient's body. Within this framework, a deep learning method has been developed to analyse the biometric data of people with chronic conditions.

Researchers from the University of Valencia show recent advances and research opportunities in causal inference for the Earth and environmental sciences. The new algorithms integrate causal reasoning using machine learning techniques. The objective is to improve the understanding, based on observational time series, and promise to advance science and engineering.

In this special issue, some fifteen experts on communication and digital technologies from universities from around the world analyse the impact of artificial intelligence in areas of communication such as the generation of texts, images, videos and sound and the concept of copyright. During recent months, the social debate around the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) have intensified in many areas, such as the generation of texts and images or of audiovisual content.

Researchers from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and the startup Digital Anatomics have developed a technological solution for the health field which makes it possible, through artificial intelligence, for complex medical surgeries to be adapted to the particularities of each patient. Digital Anatomics carries out its activity in the UC3M Science Park.

AI researchers at Queen Mary University of London and UPF in Barcelona are building a dataset that will enable the development of better music description tools - but they need music fans' help. Song Describer is a collaborative platform for people to write descriptions of music under Creative Commons licenses, creating an open database of music with natural language description.

A team from the University of Valencia develops a novel system to predict severe hurricanes using Artificial Intelligence A research team from the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL) of the University of Valencia has developed a system that allows to optimally analyse and combinie certain structural parameters of the hurricane clouds from GOES satellite images.
