New graduates on adaptive tree processing

Congratulations (with some delay) to my students who graduated with two theses on the LISTIT project.

Valerio De Caro extended the Hidden Markov Tree Network and developed an efficient implementation of the model.

Michele Colombo developed a Conditional Variational Autoencoder for learning tree to tree  transductions with application to machine translation.


New Neurocomputing paper

Congratulations to my student Daniele Castellana for his first journal paper on learning infinite mixture of tree models for structured data clustering. The paper has been selected to be extended for journal publication from the ESANN 2018 best papers.
