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.
Now it looks official enough that I am going to coordinate the H2020 project TEACHING “A computing toolkit for building efficient autonomous applications leveraging humanistic intelligence”. Project will start on January 2020. Stay tuned!
I am honoured that Università di Pisa has chosen me for the highlights of the Researcher of the Month for September 2019.
A bunch of new papers on deep learning for graphs and neural language processing has just been accepted for publication. Check them out!
Good luck to Alessio Gravina who is starting an intership at Stanford University for his M.Sc. project, co-supervised by me and Corrado Priami as part of the Spark program.
I am co-organizing with Danilo Mandic a special session on “Tensor Decompositions in Deep Learning” at ESANN 2020.
We welcome solid contributions and preliminary relevant results showing potential, limitations and challenges of new ideas related to the use of tensor decompositions in deep learning, neural networks, and machine learning at large.
Deadline for paper submission: 18 November 2019.
Prospective contributors/participants can contact me (or another co-organizer) for details.
Organized by Davide Bacciu (University of Pisa,Italy), Danilo Mandic (Imperial College, UK).
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.
I will be delivering a talk on computational creativity through neural networks this week at the Museo degli Strumenti del Calcolo in Pisa. More info on the seminar and on the logistics in the following (in Italian I am afraid).
Creatività Artificiale: reti neurali, arte e probabilità
Mercoledì 29 maggio, ore 17:00
Museo degli Strumenti per il Calcolo, Pisa, 29 Maggio 2019
L’intelligenza artificiale può cimentarsi con una prerogativa così fortemente umana come la creatività artistica? La conferenza racconterà come le reti neurali profonde possano essere utilizzate per generare lavori artistici che, in alcuni casi, sono indistinguibili da opere dell’ingegno umano. Spiegheremo poi come la generazione di un’opera d’arte artificiale sia frutto di un processo matematico basato sulla statistica.
Congratulations to my student Vlad Pandelea who is hitting the University headline news as first graduate (cum laude!) of the Artificial Intelligence curriculum here at the Computer Science Department.
Congratulations to Diego Giorgini and to Vlad Pandelea for having succesfully defended their theses on a multiscale recurrent neural memory and on audio-augmented dialogue systems.
