Anna Visibelli (DIISM, University of Siena) Jun 5, 2019 – 11:00 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Nowadays, determining the 3D structure of proteins is one of the most challenging tasks in computational biology, essential for understanding protein functions. Thanks to experimental tests, protein conformations can be mainly determined by the […]

Jose Suárez-Varela (DIISM, University of Siena) May 29, 2019 – 11:00 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Computer network modeling is a critical component for building future self-driving computer networks, particularly to find optimal configurations that meet the goals set by network administrators. However, existing modeling techniques do not meet the […]

Giansalvo Cirrincione (University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV), Amiens (France) and University of South Pacific (USP), Suva, Fiji) May 22, 2019 – 16:30 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Big high dimensional data is becoming a challenging field of research. There exist a lot of techniques which infer information. However, because […]

Andrea Panizza (Baker Hughes – General Electric Company) May 15, 2019 – 11:00 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description The Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is a not-so-new-anymore Latent Variable Model (Kingma & Welling, 2014), which models the pdf of the inputs, and it is thus able to generate new samples from the […]

Simone Furini (University of Siena) May 8, 2019 – 11:00 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the fluxes of ions across cell membranes. In order to perform their biological functions, these proteins need to select the different ion species with high accuracy. For instance, […]
