The actions and research in Data Science developed by this Center are aligned with its interests in the sectors and themes in which it operates. Among the projects of the line of research in Data Science currently developed by FGV CERI, stands out the application of Machine Learning to improve the maintenance of energy distribution networks. This study aims not only to develop technical advances in the field work, but also to understand how the innovations provided by these techniques should be properly incorporated by the regulation of the provision of services dependent on network infrastructure: electricity, gas and sanitation.
