Federated learning is a way to collaboratively train artificial intelligence models. It thus represents a possible solution to AI biases, often caused by training said models on samples that lack diversity. In the healthcare sector, these biases can lead to problems of equity between patients. The EQUIHid project explores how federated learning can help develop more equitable healthcare services.

The RESOH Chair’s mission is to address safety and performance issues from a socio-organizational perspective. For its third term, the Chair will have a special focus on the issue of skills and facilitating the use of research results by its partners. This research and teaching project led by IMT Atlantique closely analyzes work activities and the dynamics surrounding “safe performance” in high-risk industries, particularly the nuclear sector.

Methanization reduces the volume of organic waste and prevents biogas produced by fermentation, including methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from being dispersed into the atmosphere. Biogas is also used to produce heat, electricity and even biomethane for injection into the natural gas grid. Yves Andrès and Khaled Loubar, researchers at IMT Atlantique, tell us more about this technology which is emerging as a key driver of energy transition.
