We won again at the SAS international competition Hackathon 2025, this time the special award:
UX: Excellence in User Experience !
We are proud to announce our winning at the SAS Hackathon 2025 competition for the second year
with an innovative AI solution that detects barriers to the human walking.
An efficient algorithms for object detection of YOLO type (You Only Look Once)
classified more than five thousand images of potential human barriers,
so that the SAS application can detect easily new human barriers analysing photos of the city, the stations, the shops, the hospitals...
On the official SAS winner page,
SAS wrote:
"UX: Excellence in User Experience – Ratio Team [Italy].
This team from SAS Partner Rationence developed a computer vision model that promotes urban accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities.
Powered by SAS Viya and open source tools, the model demonstrates exceptional usability and design thinking.
It detects objects – steps, stairs, ramps and grab bars – with extreme precision in thousands of photos from public repositories.
The model offers a concrete way to improve how barriers are detected and managed in cities."
And, on our Hackathon 2025 Diploma, the SAS jury wrote:
"The winning solution, Ratio team, demostrates exceptional usability and design thinking,
creating a platform that is both practical and scalable.
The project stands out for its potential to deliver lasting impact."

A smart solution to support the HR function in scouting the right candidates among a large set of CVs
Currently, personnel selection processes require significant amounts of time and effort,
especially for companies managing multiple open positions simultaneously
or receiving large quantities of CVs after posting a job offer.
CV-Ranking is a smart solution based on LLM models to support the HR function in scouting CVs,
in order to find the most suitable ones for the required position.
The system takes as input a natural language job description and a large set of resumes as input,
and then provides a ranking of the most suitable CVs for the entered job description,
speeding up the CV selection process.
