Leveraging Adversarial AI to Defend Cyber-Physical Systems Against Covert Attacks
LASIGE integrated researchers Alan Oliveira de Sá (principal investigator) and José Cecílio, together with Gonçalo Fernandes (MSc student), are developing ASTERICS – Adversarial Strategies for counTERing Intelligent CyberattackS, a project funded through the LASIGE/FCT Seed Projects Call 2025. ASTERICS investigates innovative cybersecurity strategies to counter intelligent attacks that leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to learn the […]
Multimodal Machine Learning to Uncover Parkinson’s Disease Progression Profiles
Parkinson’s disease does not progress in the same way for every patient. This variability remains one of the major challenges in understanding the disease and anticipating how an individual patient may progress. The ParkProfile project, led by Diogo F. Soares, is addressing this challenge by developing advanced artificial intelligence methods to identify and predict different patterns of […]
