Awarded Projects

This project aims to develop Tower-v3, a suite of general-purpose multilingual language models with extended context capabilities up to 128K tokens.

This project will deliver several "EU-based" large pre-trained models which will be publicly available for research and commercial use by public bodies and SMEs.

The abundance of openly available audio data in English enables pretraining of automatic speech recognition/speech-to-text models on hundreds of thousands to millions of hours of recorded speech.

Turbulence ultimately determines the energy confinement time of fusion devices (a very important figure of merit) and is one of the key unsolved physics problems on the path towards a commercial power plant.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is increasingly important in our digital lives. In particular, Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and chatbots like ChatGPT are likely to profoundly impact society, affecting an estimated 80% of the workforce.

Protoplanetary discs are the birthplace of planetary systems that form around nascent stars. These discs are now observed with an exquisite resolution that allows us to probe the kinematics of the gas during planet formation.

The Event Horizon Telescope has recently taken the first direct images of supermassive objects in the center of the Milky Way, SgrA*, and in the center of galaxy M87, M87*.

We will investigate mechanisms of ion transport and in the unique bacterial K+-importing protein complex (KdpFABC), which unlike any other ion transporting protein, contains both a channel and a pump subunit.

Atomistic modeling can provide mechanistic insights and improved design principles, but it is limited by the complexity of modern alloys that involve up to a dozen carefully tuned components.
