Towards a Human-Like Evaluation: Innovations, Applications, and Future Directions
In his previous article, Romain explored the theoretical foundations and methods dedicated to the automatic evaluation of artificial intelligence systems, emphasizing the importance of making them more human and intuitive. This article continues this reflection by focusing on the practical applications of these advances. How are these innovations deployed? What challenges do they face? What are the prospects for making AI evaluation even more reliable and faithful to human experience?
Automatic software migration: from GWT to Angular
Support for the automation of Web application interface migration: the case of GWT to Angular During the evolution of an application, it is sometimes necessary to migrate its implementation to a different programming language and/or Graphical User Interface (GUI) framework. Web GUI frameworks in particular evolve at a fast pace. For example, in 2018 there
Robustness & Management of Uncertainty in planning
Context The aging population and increasing life expectancy, as we can see today in France and in other developed countries, lead to an increase in the number of the elderly with loss of autonomy and in dangers caused by frailty. In particular, they suffer from chronic diseases with a long-term need for assistance. They largely
Digital trust
We speak about Trust, digital trust and the reason why its’ important for the company and the future. No apprehesion, fear when we put the data on paper (forms, books). Process by continous support. Recent period, software company. BL software company. Trust was not so far : whitout many links with the ecosystem. Security only,
Software interoperability
Interoperability Assessment Based on Analysis of Messages Exchanges Once Information Systems (IS) are put into production, they are mostly part of distributed networks. If these systems are able to share and exchange information without depending on a particular actor and are able to use the exchanged information and function independently from each other, we can
3D deep learning on terrestrial LiDAR scanned urban environments for objects monitoring
Large urban agglomerations nowadays are facing some major issues such as economic restrictions, environmental challenges, global and systemic approaches in city management [8]. One of them is to precisely monitor urban objects which can be natural (trees), artificial (traffic lights or poles), static or moving (cars). This is essential to analyze their mutual interaction (for
Personalized Visits to Foster Engagement and Revisit in Museums
Context With the growing competition of entertainment industry, museums are facing new challenges. They must reach a wider audience, build local visitors’ loyalty and tailor their content to the diversity of this public. Relying on temporary exhibitions or guided tours is too expensive for small museums which makes it hard for them to diversify the

Robots for elder assistances
Subject : caring practices in social robotics in nursing homes The project shares a design-oriented agenda of research and the adoption of a human-centred perspective and a Participatory Design approach. With the objective of achieving an “adequate design”, the studies aim at properly understanding the needs, values and experiences of the actors concerned. We are
TreeTech: From paper based tree observation protocol to digital mobile app
As for buildings, roads, and bridges, urban nature requires regular inspections, including an active monitoring of the health status of trees composing it. Several methods of analysis of the state of development of urban trees exist: Crown-Condition Classification in the United States [Schomaker et al. 2007], DEPEFEU in France [Nageleisen 1996], CROCO in Japan [Mizoue

New White Paper – Agentic AI, a Software and Societal Revolution!
Research at Berger-Levrault is tackling a new frontier in artificial intelligence: that of (partially) autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, collaborating, orchestrating and learning in complex business environments. Our new white paper, “Beyond automation – How agentic AI is transforming the software industry”, shares with you an in-depth analysis of this ongoing technological revolution, its
Clément talks at BIM World 2025 on the future of augmented maintenance using BIM models
At BIM World 2025, held in Paris on April 2-3, Clément Colin, our research engineer in BL Research team, spoke at a workshop dedicated to Digital Twins, alongside Laurent Truscello, Product Marketing Manager at Carl Berger-Levrault. The theme of their talk: “GEM & GMAO – Valuing and increasing the use of your BIM models for
From the Iberian sun to the Rising sun for federated learning
On September 2024, we had the opportunity to attend two international conferences related to a segment of our work in artificial intelligence : Data Training Without Perturbative Adjustments for Predictive Maintenance The FLTA24 took place from September 17 to 19 in Valencia, Spain. As part of this research, we studied a concrete case: predictive maintenance,

This annual retrospective reflects the commitment and ambition of our Research and Technological Innovation Department at Berger-Levrault (also available in French and Spanish versions below). By highlighting our most audacious projects and innovative initiatives, we hope to share with you the
Julien at EKAW 2024 for his work on extracting legal data from LLMs
On December 3, 2024 in Amsterdam, Julien Breton – Research Engineer at Berger-Levrault (Team BL.Research) took part in the EKAW 2024 (European Knowledge Acquisition Workshop) conference. His paper demonstrates how the alliance between large language models (LLMs) and software architectures can optimize data annotation: a consequent time and cost saving, and greater reliability for technical
Benoit receives the Prix Science Ouverte 2024: Recognition of excellence and openness in Research at Berger-Levrault
In a world where science plays a crucial role in meeting economic, environmental and societal challenges, the notion of openness in research is taking on strategic importance. Organised by the Committee for Open Science (CoSO) and supported by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Open Science Awards embody this commitment by recognising
