Presenter: Lorenzo VaianiMonday, November 27th, 2023 17:30Location: SmartData@Covivio, Sala Grande With the proliferation of multimodal data sources, detecting fake news content has become more and more challenging as fake content can be hidden in either visual or textual news elements. Our work addresses the automatic detection of Italian fake news […]

Welcome to the SmartTalks!
Our webinars will happen on Monday at 5:30 PM.
Talks will be a networking opportunity that will allow you to present your research project at a high level. They will last between 10 to 20 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A session, starting from two spectators designated by the presenter.
Smart Talks are organized in collaboration with the IEEE Student Branch and with the Mu Nu Chapter of IEEE – HKN.
Current chairs and organizers:
Eliana Pastor and Matteo Boffa.

Presenter: Elena SabbioniMonday, July 10th, 2023 17:30Location: SmartData@Covivio RNA velocity is a biological quantity related to the evolution of cells at different stages of maturity and can be used to interpret cellular differentiation. The mathematical model behind this quantity describes the biological transformation from DNA to RNA, which can be […]
Presenter: Luca PianoMonday, June 26th, 2023 17:30Location: SmartData@Covivio Deep neural networks are commonly used in various applications, but they are still vulnerable to out-of-distribution (OOD) samples, which are drawn from a different distribution than the one used during training. One approach to address this issue is using techniques to detect […]
Presenter: Philippe BichMonday, May 29th, 2023 17:30Location: SmartData@Covivio The growing interest in Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications is driving research into Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that can operate efficiently on low-resource/energy devices at the edge. However, the limited computational resources typically available in edge devices […]
Presenter: Tailai SongMonday, May 15th, 2023 18:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Real-time communication (RTC) platforms have undergone a consistent increase in popularity in recent years, and nowadays, they are fundamental for both work and leisure purposes. To ensure adequate Quality of Experience (QoE) for users of RTC services, we need proper traffic management […]
Presenter: Gabriele CiravegnaMonday, April 17th, 2023 17:30Location: SmartData@Covivio Deploying AI-powered systems requires trustworthy models supporting effective human interactions, going beyond raw prediction accuracy. Concept bottleneck models promote trustworthiness by conditioning classification tasks on an intermediate level of human-like concepts. This enables human interventions which can correct mispredicted concepts to improve […]
Presenter: Alfonso Capozzoli & Marco Savino PriscitelliMonday, April 3rd, 2023 16:00Location: SmartData@Covivio In the last few years, the increasing widespread use of IoT sensors in buildings for the pervasive monitoring of energy-related data, has led to an unprecedented acquisition of reliable and accessible knowledge related to the actual performance of […]
Presenter: Bartolomeo VacchettiMonday, March 20th, 2023 17:30Location: SmartData@Covivio Video is the most widely used media format. Automating the editing process would impact many areas, from the film industry to social media content. The editing process defines the structure of a video. In this paper, we present a new method to […]
Presenter: Enrico BibbonaMonday, March 6th, 2023 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio We propose a hierarchical Bayesian model to infer RNA synthesis, processing, and degradation rates from sequencing data, based on an ordinary differential equation system that models the RNA life cycle.We parametrize the latent kinetic rates, that rule the system, with a novel […]
Presenter: Nikhil JhaMonday, January 23rd, 2023 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Interaction with cookies is ubiquitous in users’ experience on the Web. In particular, 3rd-party cookies are used, among the rest, to offer users personalized advertisement, acting as a core element in the multi-billionaire advertising market. However, the usage of 3rd-party cookies poses […]
Presenter: Rodolfo ValentimMonday, December 19th, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Current solutions to tackle phishing employ blocklists that are built from user reports or automatic approaches. They, however, fall short in detecting zero-day phishing attacks. We propose the use of data-driven systems to automate the generation of new squatting candidates starting from […]
Presenter: Andrea CavalloMonday, December 5th, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) achieve state-of-the-art performance on several tasks on graph-structured data. Their success is related to their capability to generate embeddings that model the entire neighborhood of a node, instead of just the node itself. This approach is very effective on homophilous graphs, i.e. […]
