Project description DEENESFRITPL Meet Flaner, a digital extension of your memory that helps you retrieve travel experiences The growing number of data-generating devices has led to an exponential growth in data volume. Our memory alone cannot handle this overwhelming amount of data gathered from smart phones or other connected devices. The EU-funded Flaner project is supporting a Portugal-based company in developing a software platform of the same name: Flaner is a digital extension of our memory that makes it easier to explore cities and remember places that matter to us. The platform provides seamless technology to extract relevant information from any place that users choose to memorise and can automatically retrieve the information at any time needed. Unlike state-of-the-art solutions, Flaner relies on information retrieval and natural language processing to automatically offer curated content that is already available from a variety of publishers, bloggers and influencers. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective In a world where the amount of data is increasing exponentially, so is contentconsumption. It goes without saying that our memory alone is not enough to handle suchoverwhelming amount of information. To face this challenge, we have created Flaner: a memoryenhancement software platform that provides a seamless technology to extract relevantinformation from any content users choose to memorize and is able to automatically retrievesuch information at the right moment and in the right context. Powered by a strong technologybackbone based on information retrieval, natural language processing, machine learning, neuralnetworks and deep learning, among others, Flaner will understand and extract the relevantinformation from that content, continuously enhance it and, using context identification andrecommendation systems, automatically and proactively bring back memory insights notifyingusers whenever these are most valuable to them - acting as a digital extension of our memory. Asthis problem is enormous and execution focus is paramount, the company has decided to tackleone vertical at a time and initially help users to memorize content around places, targetingpeople who are interested in exploring their own cities or travelling to different ones, positioningFlaner to disrupt the huge travel and tourism market. Flaner will also connect users with creatorsand curators of content, meaning publishers, bloggers and influencers, giving them tools tobetter engage their audience, reduce time spent to create content, successfully transition fromdesktop to mobile and grow their monetization. Flaner’s memory enhancement technologyfocused on places is inherently a global product, while also allowing for future expansion todifferent verticals. The SME instrument Phase 1 is thoroughly aligned to Flaner's strategy, as asolid feasibility study will guide future growth, allowing us to improve our business plan, whilealso focusing on further technological development Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwarenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencenatural language processingnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencemachine learningdeep learningnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencecomputational intelligence Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.3. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Innovation In SMEs Main Programme H2020-EU.3. - PRIORITY 'Societal challenges H2020-EU.2.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies Topic(s) EIC-SMEInst-2018-2020 - SME instrument Call for proposal H2020-EIC-SMEInst-2018-2020 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-SMEInst-2018-2020-1 Funding Scheme SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1 Coordinator FLANER, LDA Net EU contribution € 50 000,00 Address RUA VITOR CORDON N 10-A 5 1249 202 LISBOA Portugal See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
