AI systems developed for workplace well-being and Earth observation data collection

Researchers have developed two distinct AI-driven systems for specialized data collection and analysis. The first, TrustmeWatcher, is an application designed for the TRUST-ME project that uses OS-level watchers to collect computer activity and synchronize it with self-reported data for well-being feedback. This system integrates activity review, data collection, privacy controls, and explainable AI (XAI) to help users understand prediction outputs. The second system, Deficit-Driven Stratified Acquisition (DDSA), is an algorithm for building a co-registered SAR-optical corpus for self-supervised Earth Observation. DDSA addresses the issue of under-sampling in existing datasets by casting corpus construction as a constrained maximum-coverage problem, ensuring balanced representation across different regions and seasons. The algorithm was measured on its product, STRATA-S12, demonstrating improved stratum balance and effective recovery of rejected acquisition attempts. AI

IMPACT These systems showcase advancements in AI for specialized data collection and analysis, potentially improving user well-being feedback and Earth observation data quality.
