N2 - This deliverable is the final deliverable on Pilots in Workpackage 1 of Polifonia, next to the deliverable D1.10 aboutthe Polifonia Web Portal. WP 1 (Pilots and Web portal) has been also called Polifonia’s validation WP. It contributesto achieve the objectives O3 (Tailor) and O5 (Share & Engage)1. As such it drives the whole development of Polifoniaand in particular the monitoring and aligning of the 10 Pilots. This last deliverable builds on previous deliverables inthis WP. Among them D1.1Roadmap and pilot requirements 1st version[1], D1.2Roadmap and pilot requirements– 2nd version[2], and D1.3Pilots development - collaborative methodology and tools[3] defined the collaborativestrategy of the project, the main knowledge sources and epistemological units (research questions), and how to bestmonitor and management the overall progress in an otherwise distributed knowledge exploration process. In thisprocess each of the Pilots can be envisioned as ascoutsend out to explore other dimensions of the actual problemspace. But, to achieve a scientific progress in such an interdisciplinary setting as Polifonia represents, the knowledgecolected by thosescoutsneeds to be brought together again and integrated. Polifonia did this in an iterative way,and dedicated a specific governance board - the Technical Board - to this task. The individual Pilots each on its ownway also operated on fronts of research, methods, and data curation. For instance for the more methodologicallyoperating Pilots (scope Studying) the work crucially includes cutting-edge experiments evaluating Large LanguageModels (LLM) in the context of various scenarios relevant to the stakeholders. The latter belongs to the unforeseennew challenges during the journey of the project. Another central challenge concerns how the consortium has beenexperimenting on how symbolic knowledge (Knowledge Graphs) can interplay with predictive, generative models.To both acknowledge the Pilot specific achievements and the contribution to the project-wide goals, this deliverabledevotes one section to each Pilot, but uses the same kind of template (subsection headings) to report about thePilots. In their report the focus lies on main advances and the validation of results. Moreover, each Pilot descriptiondetails on which other (more elaborate Deliverables) this work is based. In a last section, this deliverable includesdiscussion of the reusability of Polifonia’s research and outputs. We have gathered data on the reusability of differentcomponents of the Polifonia ecosystem via a self-reporting survey, and we report on this in Chapter 12. Further, werevisit a table of anticipated reusability of components, originally presented in the Polifonia Grant Agreement, and map it against our outcomes
