Big AI graduation day

Today we graduated a batch of 7 students from the first cycle of our AI M.Sc. of Computer science! Congratulations to my students of the AI curriculum, Andrea Cossu, Michele Cafagna, Federico Rossetto, Silvia Severini, as well as to Francesco Landolfi, from our previous M.Sc. Degree.

New Graduates

Congratulations to Luigi di Sotto and Stefan Daniel Motoc for having completed their M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Computer Science with a final project on deep learning topics. Luigi discussed a novel pooling mechanism for graph convolutional networks. Stefan proposed a thorough analysis of the latent space of MusAE, our deep adversarial autoencoder for music generation.

New ML graduates

Congratulations to two of my students who succesfully defended their B.Sc. and M.Sc. theses with two excellent ML projects.

Lorenzo Marsicano developed microESN, a library for the development of recurrent neural networks in embedded systems with minimal memory and computational resources.

Andrea Valenti designed a new deep learning model for MIDI music generation, beautifully named MusAE, for Music Adversarial autoEncoder (and of course to honour Greek mythology).

Congratulations!!

New IEEE TNNLS journal paper

Congratulations to my student Francesco Crecchi for his first journal paper showing how Dropout can be used to enforce robustness to missing inputs at test time in several recurrent neural networks. Check out its applications to sensor data processing.
