Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), established in 1989, is a prestigious Spanish public university renowned for its excellence in research, teaching, and innovation. With a strong international presence and a commitment to societal improvement, UC3M offers a wide range of undergraduate and master’s degree programs, many of which are taught in English. In collaboration with the University of Madrid, Carlos III, and NECLA, we explored domain generalization techniques for face anti-spoofing. The joint research emphasized the use of gradient-based guidance to help models adapt across different environments and datasets, enhancing their resilience to real-world variability.

Citizen Science for the Sea with Information Technologies: An Open Platform for Gathering Marine Data and Marine Litter Detection from Leisure Boat Instruments

/in /by

Data crowdsourcing is an increasingly pervasive and lifestyle-changing technology due to the flywheel effect that results from the interaction between the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing. This paper presents the Citizen Science for the Sea with Information Technologies (C4Sea-IT) framework. It is an open platform for gathering marine data from leisure boat instruments. C4Sea-IT aims to provide a coastal marine data gathering, moving, processing, exchange, and sharing platform using the existing navigation instruments and sensors for today’s leisure and professional vessels. In this work, a use case for the detection and tracking of marine litter is shown. The final goal is weather/ocean forecasts argumentation with Artificial Intelligence prediction models trained with crowdsourced data.
