News – PRECISE Project https://www.precisemed.org Fri, 05 Oct 2018 12:08:19 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.3 PRECISE is applying NLP to Reuma.pt https://www.precisemed.org/precise-is-collaborating-with-reuma-pt/ Sat, 22 Sep 2018 18:49:32 +0000 https://www.precisemed.org/?p=890 The goal of the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register (Reuma.pt) is “to register all rheumatic patients treated with biological agents in mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores, ensuring effective monitoring of treatment indication, efficacy and safety.”

Researchers of the INESC-ID are applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to the free text annotations in Reuma.pt records with the purpose of transforming that (only human readable) “raw data” in structured (machine readable) information…

]]> PRECISE private Cloud https://www.precisemed.org/precise-cloud-at-inesc-id-ist/ Fri, 24 Aug 2018 18:07:08 +0000 https://www.precisemed.org/?p=609 A cluster was built at INESC-ID/IST with 60 cores (120 threads), 756GB of RAM, and 1.44TB high speed SDD storage (structured as 6 computing nodes, each with 10 cores, 20 threads, 128GB of RAM, and 240GB of storage each).
These resources are integrated in a OpenStack (https://www.openstack.org/) installation, allowing the dynamic and on demand allocation and management of resources. The elasticity provided by this pilot allows the efficient and isolated deployment of the multiple applications being developed in the project, each one with different computational requirements and lifetime.
