Organizing a Deep Learning Special Session @WCCI2018

New upocoming special session: I am co-organizing a  Deep Learning for Structured and Multimedia Information (DEEPSM) session at WCCI2018.

The session is meant to attract researchers working on the next generation of deep learning models for machine vision and multimedia information which are capable of extracting and processing information in a structured representation and/or with a multimodal nature.

Work in progress for securing sponsorship for best paper awards.

Deadline for paper submission: 15 January 2018.

Prospective contributors/participants can contact me (or another co-organizer) for details.

Organized by: Davide Bacciu (Università di Pisa, Italy), Silvio Jamil F. Guimarães (PUC Minas, Brazil) and Zenilton K. G. Patrocínio Jr (PUC Minas, Brazil).

Big ML graduation day!

Congratulations to four of my students who just finished their M.Sc. and B.Sc discussing ML theses!!

Antonio Carta studied how to use deep learning to help CERN physicists filtering out fake trajectory hints in high energy physics (in co-supervision with Felice Pantaleo).

Francesco Crecchi proposed the DropIn technique to make recurrent neural network resilient to missing input data at inference time.

Andrea Cossu extended Echo State Networks and the ReCoPy Python framework with unsupervised anomaly detection mechanisms for sequential data.

Finally, Maurizio Idini presented his work supervised by Paolo Cignoni and Marco Di Benedetto (Visual Computing Lab @ISTI-CNR) regarding range maps denoising by deep learning techniques.

Ad maiora!
