Understanding AI Hallucinations: Causes, Techniques, and Evaluation
1. Introduction Generative artificial intelligence models have fundamentally transformed the way we create, access, and use information. However, their widespread adoption comes with a major challenge: hallucinations, the generation of content that appears credible and fluent but is factually incorrect or entirely fabricated. Today, hallucinations represent one of the most significant obstacles to the reliability of AI systems. In this article, we provide an overview of hallucinations in generative AI
Automatic Detection of Anomalies in systems behaviors
Nowadays, industrial systems maintenance uses the principle of Digital Twin to predict future issues. Sensors placed on the different parts of the system emit a signal that characterize its behavior. The study of these time signals in real time allow us to detect unusual behaviors preceding a breakdown. However, the sensors signals can be unreliable

BL.SenseLife: Healthy Ageing Co-Design and Management Platform
Healthy ageing is “the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age” (WHO, 2015). Frailty is a clinical and a social syndrome relative to ageing. In medical context, frailty characterizes an intermediate state between robust health and the loss of autonomy. It points the beginning of the decline in
The legal impact of digitalisation of administration on public services
The digital transformation does not only concern the private sector, even though it’s frequently described as more innovative. From computerisation of public administration in the 60’ to the latest applications of artificial intelligence by territorial authorities, public action seems more and more digitalised (and still “in digitalisation”). Therefore, this public action in practice resulting in
🇫🇷 L’IA au service des collectivités locales
https://www.research-bl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/frigg-1-online-video-cutter.com_.mp4 En France, les collectivités se différencient selon plusieurs caractéristiques telles que les budgets qu’elles utilisent au cours d’une année, les investissements qu’elles opèrent et enfin les dettes qu’elles contractent. Le but étant d’apporter une aide aux collectivités locales en développant un modèle capable d’apporter une aide à la prise de décision en leur permettant

CONTEXTE Les documents des marchés publics manifestent une hétérogénéité importante et des similarités trompeuses. Autrement dit, ces documents contiennent généralement des informations typiques comme le nom de l’organisme public, son code SIRET, sa géolocalisation, des dates, les critères et les modalités de choix des candidats, etc. Toutefois, ces informations sont généralement présentées sans aucun format
Blockchain for interoperability
Interoperability is the possibility for different systems to communicate with each other without depending on a particular actor. It is based on the use of an open standard Context The sharing of data between information systems (IS) becomes essential to ensure communication between these IS. This exchange has consequences of compatibility (because of heterogeneous data
Automatic Reconstruction of Sanitation Network
Underground networks are a direct consequence of urbanization. These networks are daily used to offer all the vital services : electricity, Internet, water, etc. However, the available data related to them in particular sanitation ones are various, and come in different types (texts, images, GIS etc.) and formats (analog, digital). In addition, these multisource/multi-format data are
Analysis of user activity (traces) in software
The software for public services are always more complex as the regulation evolves constantly and the user requirement continues to refine. Thus, the quality of the software declines, making it more difficult to maintain and use. For example, some anomalies occurring in the production environment cannot be reproduced and therefore cannot be resolved. From the

Sophie de Thoré guest on Pari ETI on BFM Business: Innovation, Growth and Digital Transformation
The digital transformation of public and private organisations, business resilience in the face of economic change, and responsible innovation were the focus of discussions on the Pari ETI programme broadcast on BFM Business. On this occasion, Sophie de Thoré spoke on behalf of Berger-Levrault, alongside Jérôme de Lavergnolle (Saint Louis), Jean-Luc Gunéard (LPR) and Augustin
A New Milestone in Building a European AI Ecosystem for Industry
Last Friday marked a significant step forward for the European ecosystem of artificial intelligence applied to industry. After more than a year of close collaboration, the report resulting from the Franco-German dialogue on industrial AI was officially presented to French and German authorities during a dedicated forum held at the Ministry of Economy. This initiative,
