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 […]

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:
Geta Vallero and Nikhil Jha.

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. […]
Presenter: Tiziano BianchiWednesday, June 22nd, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Deep networks have shown remarkable performance in complex visual and classification tasks. However, their use in security sensitive applications raises serious concerns, as they can be targeted by adversaries. One of the most severe threats is represented by adversarial perturbations, a collection […]
Presenter: Guido Marchetto and Alessio SaccoWednesday, June 8th, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Recent management and orchestration approaches for softwarized networks employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to further reduce reaction time and improve the accuracy of decisions, while automating network operations to ultimately facilitate the deployment of new interactive […]
Presenter: Andrea De MartinoWednesday, May 25th, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Intracellular metabolic activity (e.g. reaction fluxes and metabolite levels) is largely inaccessible to experiments. I will describe recent work aimed at constructing generative models of cellular metabolism through statistical inference from empirical data. After motivating why this problem is worth the […]
Presenter: Jost von HardenbergWednesday, May 11th, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Numerical global climate modelling with Earth-system models is currently one of the main tools available for studying processes and feedbacks at work in the climate system, attribution of climate change, projection of future climate change scenarios and the development and planning […]
Presenter: Luca ColombaMonday, April 27th, 2022 17:00Location: SmartData@Covivio Clustering is among the most popular unsupervised data mining tasks. Within the years, density-based clustering algorithms proved to be one of the most prominent strategies to identify clusters and noisy points. Such methodology encompasses a large variety of clustering algorithms that focus […]
