Title: Ocean Data Quality Assessment through Outlier Detection-enhanced Active Learning
BLUECLOUD 2026 partner CNR, 29th Jan 2024
This work has been partially funded by the European Union’s Horizon research and innovation program by the CLARIFY (860627), BLUECLOUD 2026 (101094227), ENVRI-FAIR (824068) and ARTICONF (825134), by the LifeWatch ERIC, and by the NWO LTER-LIFE project.
Abstract:
A computational notebook search system called CNSVRE has been proposed to address shortcomings in existing solutions for Virtual Research Environments (VREs). Existing approaches lack focus on the specific information needs of scientific researchers and struggle with relevance evaluation due to the mixed nature of text and code in computational notebooks.
Abstract:
The discovery and reuse of scientific codes are essential in research, with computational notebooks proving effective for sharing such codes. However, locating relevant computational notebooks poses challenges due to their multi-modal nature and lack of evaluation datasets for fair assessments.
Abstract:
The Argo network, dedicated to ocean profiling, generates a vast volume of observatory data. However, data quality issues from sensor malfunctions and transmission errors necessitate stringent quality assessment. Existing methods, including machine learning, fall short due to limited labeled data and imbalanced datasets.

Dr. Zhiming Zhao was invited to a panel discussion on blockchain and sustainability challenges in the context of KeNoMo workshop in Nairobi, Kenya. Detailed report can be found on The Times website.
UvA is leading a new three-year European project on the system architecture for future 6G mobile networks. Such a 6G network will support new applications with extreme performance requirements.
The Informatics Institute of UvA is leading the DESIRE6G project and assistant professor Chrysa Papagianni of the Multiscale Networked Systems-group is the project coordinator.
The Dutch research consortium LTER-LIFE, in which UvA-IvI researcher Zhiming Zhao and UvA-IBED researcher W. Daniel Kissling are involved, receives a 20 million euro grant from the National Roadmap funding for large-scale research infrastructure of NWO and the Ministry of Education.
The Horizon Europe project Blue-Cloud2026 had its Kick-Off Meeting from 13 to 15 February 2023 in Pisa, Italy. The project aims to develop a Federated European Ecosystem to deliver FAIR & Open data and analytical services, instrumental for deepening research of oceans, EU seas, and coastal & inland waters.
