[BDXlist] [EXTERNAL] Abstract for PM2024

[Marco Spreafico]

Dear Andrea,
at this moment we have only a plan of how to apply those techniques to 
BDX. At the moment we are at a very early stage of the application of AI 
to BDX, however when I will have the first results I will gladly present 
them to the full collaboration before the talk.
Cheers,
Marco
