Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. AI has recently emerged as a transformative tool for enhancing medical decision-making. However, its widespread adoption faces several challenges, including data quality, model transparency, and interpretability. This thesis seeks to explore how innovative AI techniques can revolutionize lung cancer research and treatment, offering new opportunities to address these challenges. It aims to contribute to the broader application of AI in healthcare.

This TFM is remunerated through a part-time research internship of 600€/month. This project will address the problem of optimization of power flows in electric power systems with high penetration of renewable generation using Deep Reinforcement Learning and Graph Neural Networks.

State-of-the-art models such as LLMs are too large to fit in a single compute node (GPU, NPU, CPU), both for training and inference on a device (e.g., phone, laptop, tablet) or in larger-scale data centers. There is a need to develop optimization techniques to split and place these models onto a distributed set of compute nodes so that the overall system performance is maximized. The research will be focused on optimizing the placement of AI models onto distributed systems considering training time, energy consumption, and computational resources.

We want to demonstrate experimentally that augmenting a model with fNIRS data carries neural activity features complementing the information captured by the model and demonstrate that it improves the models' performance. To this end, we will have to collect data from participants and test how different Transformer models benefit from different types of fNIRS attention masks.

We want to demonstrate experimentally that augmenting a model with eye tracking (ET) data carries linguistic features complementing the information captured by the model and demonstrate that it improves the models' performance. To this end, we will have to collect data from participants and test how different Transformer models benefit from different types of ET attention masks.

Cognitive distortions are systematic, biased thought patterns that skew how people interpret events, themselves, and others. They are transdiagnostic, contributing to the onset and maintenance of numerous mental-health disorders. Objectives: 1. Develop and validate an LLM-based pipeline that: 2. Quantify the frequency and subtype distribution of cognitive distortions across Reddit mental-health communities representing key diagnoses (depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, BPD, eating disorders, ADHD, ASD, schizophrenia, DID).

Recent advancements in nanotechnology have enabled the concept of the "Human Intranet", where devices inside and on our body can sense and communicate, opening the door to multiple exciting applications in the healthcare domain. This thesis aims to delve into the computing, communication, and localization aspects of the "Human Intranet" and how to practically realize them in the next decade.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and disabling psychiatric condition, typically emerging in adolescence or early adulthood. It is defined by recurrent mood episodes-mania and depression-alternating with periods of relative mood stability, known as euthymia (Nierenberg et al., 2023). Objective: To investigate the psycholinguistic features of speech in BD using cognitive network science, focusing on: - Core actors and self-referential language - Semantic framing and emotional profiles - Structural properties of language networks across illness phases

Quantum computers promise exponential improvements over conventional ones due to the extraordinary properties of qubits. However, quantum computing faces many challenges relative to the scaling of the algorithms and of the computers that run them. This thesis delves into these challenges and proposes solutions to create scalable quantum computing systems.

This project aims to design novel ML-based advanced persistent threat (APT) detection algorithms. The student will work closely with industry experts from Telefónica on the development of tools and methods to combat APTs.

This thesis aims to explore the possibilities of the new and less studied variant of neural networks called Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). While convolutional networks are good for computer vision or recurrent networks are good for temporal analysis, GNNs are able to learn and model graph-structured relational data, with huge implications in fields such as quantum chemistry, computer networks, or social networks among others.

UPC and Nestlé are offering a new position to develop the TFG / TFM in the field of AI and Cyber Security. This project will be fully funded (internship) and carried out within the Cyber Security Analytics team, part of Nestlé's Global Security Operations Center located in Barcelona.
