Congratulations to new graduates!
Big day for a hoard of my students graduating today with ML theses!
Antonio Bruno developed a deep learning model for learning tree transductions in the LISTIT project.
Andrea Bongiorno proposes a new deep architecture for reservoirs based on concentric topologies.
Federico Errica discussed (cum Laude!) a new deep generative model for contextual processing of graphs.
Alessio Gravina studied how to help clinicians in early prediction of BPD in low birth-weight infants.
Many congrats as well to Ahmed Alleboudy and Ruben Matino whom I followed in their external theses as UNIPI supervisor.
Organizing Committee ACDL 2018 Summer Course

The course will feature lectures from Yoshua Bengio, Yann Lecun, Marco Gori, Peter Norvig, Alex Pentland and many others.
First lecture of the ISPR course
The Intelligent Systems for Pattern Recognition (ISPR) course will start on Monday 19/02/2018.
First lecture will be in Room C1, Polo Fibonacci, at 14.00.
For further details, please check the official webpage of the course here.
Good news in ESANN 2018 program
First congratulations to my student Daniele for his first scientific paper:
Great success also for the Deep Learning in Bionformatics special session I am co-organizing. We received an high number of great quality papers but only 20% had to be chosen for the oral plenary. Check out the program here!
Intelligent Systems for Pattern Recognition
The official webpage of the course is now available here with preliminary information.
Please check out for updates in the following weeks.
New IEEE Transactions paper!
A paper on generative tree kernels has just been accepted for publication on the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems. Nice Christmas gift for my and my co-authors, Alessio Micheli and Alessandro Sperduti!
Deep Learning Keynote @CHPC17
Thanks to the CHPC Organizers for inviting me over to deliver a keynote on upcoming research challenges of deep learning in HPC.
