Exa4mind – Extreme Analytics for Mining Data spaces

Involving top talent from prestigious universities and research centres, small and medium-sized enterprises and industry, ten partners from six countries have joined forces to make EXA4MIND a reality and create a unique Extreme Data platform by 2026. With the series “Faces of EXA4MIND” we want to introduce the people who contribute to achieving our ambitious goal: Building a platform for extreme data that enables advanced data analytics on supercomputers and automated data management with support for integration by design with EOSC and European data spaces.

Today we present Régis Chevalier from Altrnativ.

Tell us about yourself, where do you work and what is your role there?

I am Régis Chevalier. I work at Altrnativ, overseeing projects and the development of Altrnativ products and solutions. I manage and lead projects together with data scientists and developers.

And about EXA4MIND, what is your role in the project?

I am part of the Work Package 6, which coordinates two SME pilots, the Healthcare pilot and the Viticulture pilot. On behalf of Altrnativ, I am leading the Healthcare pilot.

What do you find most rewarding about participating in this project?

This project allows us to stay at the forefront of secure health data mining by integrating our ETL tool with Extreme Data Databases (EDD) while leveraging supercomputing capabilities. It also empowers us to process vast amounts of data efficiently through customised workflows, pushing the boundaries of data processing innovation.

Tell us about the progress made so far in regard to your contribution to the project.

We have integrated our propietary ETL tool with the EXA4MIND Platform extreme data database to deliver and demonstrate secure data mining in the healthcare industry.

What is the positive impact that EXA4MIND will generate? What is the element that makes this project relevant?

EXA4MIND will positively impact healthcare by overcoming data silos and enabling the analysis of vast amounts of healthcare data through the integration of customised ETL tools. Its advanced extreme data processing capabilities and supercomputing resources will help unlock valuable insights to improve decision-making and patient care.
