EU and Government Projects

EU and French Government projects and programmes underpin substantial scientific advances and innovation. We are a committed research partner in this community.

Unified Transcription and Translation for Extended Reality

The aim of UTTER is to leverage large language models to build the next generation of multimodal eXtended reality (XR) technologies for transcription, translation, summarisation, and minuting. We will make these technologies scalable, adaptable, contextualised, robust, explainable, and emotion-aware.

Recent projects

Vital Records and Deep Learning are helping us uncover the past from historical handwritten records

A new platform based on deep-learning approaches to handwritten-text recognition and information extraction enables data from century-old documents to be parsed and analysed, making it possible to explore epidemics and the evolution of populations over time.  The Vital Records demonstrator brings to life a collection of 80,000 pages of handwritten records from 200 parishes in Germany from 1848 to 1878. This video shows how scarlet fever spread from 1870 to 1871. This demonstrator is one outcome of the EU project READ. Try out the demonstrator or have a look at a video on the Digitizing our Cultural Heritage: Vital Records demonstrator.

NAVER LABS Europe founding partner of EU project: Time Machine

The Time Machine Project builds a Large Scale Simulator mapping 2000 years of European History, transforming kilometres of archives and large collections from museums into a digital information system. The Time Machine will create advanced AI technologies to make sense of vast amounts of information from complex historical data sets. This will enable the transformation of fragmented data – with content ranging from medieval manuscripts and historical objects to smartphone and satellite images – into useable knowledge for the industry. In essence, a large-scale computing and digitisation infrastructure will map Europe’s entire social, cultural and geographical evolution. Considering the unprecedented scale and complexity of the data, The Time Machine’s AI even has the potential to create a strong competitive advantage for Europe in the global AI race.

SMOOTH logo

SMOOTH Helping micro enterprises to adopt and be compliant with GDPR.  Micro enterprises (MEnts) are responsible for a large percentage of the overall employment and value added in the EU, however, when it refers to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)’s application, MEnts are the most vulnerable due to their lack of expertise and resources to invest in their adoption. SMOOTH provides technology to make it easy to bridge this gap.

EURECA logo small

EURECA is a EU project with the aim to build software solutions to improve interoperability among existing data systems, such as clinical trials and electronic health record systems. Oncology has been selected as the focus domain because of the incidence of cancers, the complexity of data collected and of the therapy options. As a partner Naver Labs Europe will be using its natural language processing expertise and technologies to automatically extract and semantically tag relevant medical concepts and relations from the unstructured text in patient records, clinical guidelines and trials and medical scientific literature.

MOBiNET logo small

MOBINET  is an open, multi-vendor platform for Europe-wide mobility services (MaaS) coordinated by ERTICO-ITS Europe.  The goal is to develop, deploy and operate the technical and organisational foundations of an open, multi-vendor platform for Europe-wide mobility services. Key MOBiNET innovations address the barriers to cooperative system-enabled service deployment, including the lack of harmonised services; availability of communication means; inaccessibility and incompatibility of transport-related data; fragmentation of end-user subscription and payment services; proprietary technologies in user devices etc.
