CyberBioHealth (CBH)

DEFINITION

The CyberBioHealth (CBH) transversal axis brings together scientists, engineers, and students from several LORIA teams whose research concerns applications in biology and health.

TEAMS AND RESEARCH TOPICS

The topics addressed in the CBH axis are quite varied. Two main research fields can be distinguished:

• Research on available data (“Data-Driven”),
• Research involving processing signals from any kind of device (“Devices”).

Table1: The teams involved in the CBH axis (January 2016)

“Data-Driven”   Exploitation of biological and biomedical data: Facts, text, images, graphs, knowledge, usages, semantic web, etc.	ABC (D1)	Multi-class SVM machine learning
	ADAGIO (D3)	Discrete algorithms applied to biological images and sequences
	CAPSID (D5)	Algorithms for the 3D modelling of macromolecular complexes
	KIWI (D5)	User modelling for web recommendation systems
	ORPAILLEUR (D4)	Knowledge representation and discovery from biological and biomedical data
	QGAR (D4)	Enrichment of document and image descriptors for biological or biomedical applications
“Devices”   Research relating to devices associated with living systems (often in connection to human): Robotics, sensors, signals, human machine interface, etc.	BISCUIT (D5)	Bio-inspired neural networks for human-like robots
	LARSEN (D5)	Sensors and robots for telemedecine
	MAGRIT (D3)	Augmented reality in medical imaging
	MULTISPEECH (D4)	Automated speech recognition and analysis of speech disorders
	NEUROSYS (D5)	EEG and brain signal processing for better understanding of anaesthesia and epilepsy.
	VERIDIS (D1)	Model checking for the safety of medical devices such as pacemakers

SCIENTIFIC ANIMATION

The CBH transversal axis participates in the organization of interdisciplinary scientific events in the frame of the Fédération Charles Hermite (http://www.fr-hermite.univ-lorraine.fr/content/agenda).

The CBH also organizes seminars and workshops.
