The provision of European funding for economic recovery after the pandemic favored the provision of significant aid to citizens that needed to be managed quickly to ensure financial sustainability. Previously, this was done manually, which caused difficulties in resolving them in due time and form. For this reason, the aid robotization process was implemented to speed up the procedures, releasing administrative burdens and responding to citizens' requests in an agile and efficient way.
As part of Gov. of Canada ininitiatives to measure regulatory burden, ministries have to report their Administrative Burden Baseline (ABB) a metric calculated using a decision tree based on the text of regulations. This is a long and tedious process that requires combing through regulation and manually parse individual provisions. The Regulatory Evaluation Platform automates that process (it takes seconds v. weeks when done manually) and makes it more timely by allowing for weekly refreshes.
Satellites collect images that can be used to identify deformations of infrastructure at millimetre level with InSAR analysis. This project investigates the use of InSAR in the monitoring of deformations of bridges. Can InSAR be of added value for a structural health assessment of bridges which, with aging assets over the largest part of Europe, becomes more and more critical? Nowadays the monitoring of bridges is very labour intensive and often not without danger. InSAR may reduce this.
AFSA regulates the bankruptcy system in Australia. The system is designed to support those in vulnerable situations due to circumstances beyond their control. However, there are bad actors who exploit the system by hiding assets/income. Using our risk-based regulatory approach, we have designed a system that uses an applicant's data and validates it against external data sets to detect potential misconduct. We aspire to build a data model to predict non-compliance at the system entry point.
Public sector agencies are generating more video/image data but much of the data is not leveraged due to the high overheads and custom requirements in processing video. The VAS platform provides easy access to a spectrum of in-house and industry developed video analytics capability as well as model prototyping capabilities for agency use cases. The key innovation focus on bringing together a scalable platform, lowering the barrier of entry for usage of video analytics, empowering the pub

The project is subject to uncovering illegal duplication in advance from overseas inflow through the AI Reading System in the process of customs clearance cooperated with Korea Customs Service. No. of uncovering illegal duplication per annum exceeds 400,000 cases and the demand for AI system is high due to lacking manpower for customs inspection and the explosive increase in importing goods. This AI system has been developed from 2020, and proving its performance in two customs office in Korea.
