Boundary control systems on a one-dimension spatial domain - new paper co-authored by #ModConFlex researcher Bouchra Elghazi:

The paper studies when mathematical models of flexible structures with control at their boundaries are well posed. The authors identify the conditions under which the models can be fully controlled and observed.

This is useful for controlling and monitoring vibrations in structures like beams, aircraft wings, or wind-turbine blades.

#ModConFlex researcher Qian Liu recently co-authored a paper in #IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics journal.

It comprises research on developing advanced control strategies for inverter-based resources (e.g., solar photovoltaics, wind turbine generators) to ride through contingencies in electric grids.

During the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2025 (https://nacht-der-wissenschaften.de/2025/sentimentanalyse-mit-transformern-in-aktion) - science night, #MSCA researcher Albert Alcalde presented an interactive web app on Sentiment Analysis with Transformers, which lets visitors type any sentence and instantly see whether it expresses a positive or negative sentiment. The app also visualizes, in real time, how a Transformer model modifies word representations layer by layer, showing how meaning and sentiment gradually emerge inside the network.

The winner of this year's presentation prize is #ModConFlex researcher Albert Alcalde. Congratulations!!

In his presentation, Albert showed how #transformer models, the #NeuralNetworks used in language models, can be designed to perfectly learn relationships between sequences of data.

Albert's results help to explain why transformers are so effective at capturing complex patterns, providing new mathematical insight into their inner workings.

#MSCA

#ModConFlex third Network Meeting took place in the picturesque center of Besançon.

The management presentation and meetings were quickly followed by the 13 #MSCA researchers' presentations. While the presentations were overall above average, only one could win the presentation prize... .

The scientific teaching was provided not only by #HorizonEU project members but complemented by lectures from Denis Matignon (ISAE-SUPAERO) and Hector Ramirez (Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria).

How does AI know how you feel? Join our ModConFlex members Albert Alcalde and Giovanni Fantuzzi at Erlangen's Long Night of Science on 25 October to find out!

Usually, #ModConFlex researcher Vicente Ocqueteau works at the University of Bordeaux.

Currently, he is spending two months at the @uni_wuppertal , where he enjoys lively discussions with scientists working in the area of PDEs and functional analysis.

On Wednesday, he presented his research on floating objects to researchers from the Group of Functional Analysis, as well as some from the Collaborative Research Center “Port Hamiltonian Systems”.
