Clever Project at Internet Festival 2024 PISA, ITALY
The Virtual Fitting Room developed for one of the project Use Cases has been presented to the Internet Festival 2024, a dissemination event in Pisa. The application drew a lot of interest both from the participants to the event and from the press, getting some dedicated insertions on RaiNews https://www.rainews.it/video/2024/10/internet-vestival-pisa-2024-vestiti-con-intelligenza-artificiale-aa037b1e-eab5-4ce9-9f24-54f994054641.html

Clever Project Publication: “A novel Edge architecture and solution for detecting concept drift in smart environments”
Abstract: The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), the adoption of 5G, and progress towards 6G technology have led to the accumulation of massive amounts of real-world data; however, a significant portion of the data generated by smart cities and smart buildings remains unused. A notable problem is the shift of…
