[February 1st, 2018] LabMeeting: Capsule Networks

Matteo Tiezzi (DIISM, University of Siena) February 1st, 2018 – 9:30 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Convolutional neural networks that are used to recognize shapes typically use one or more layers of learned feature detectors that produce scalar outputs, interleaved with subsampling. In this way they obtain translational invariance. However […]

[February 28th, 2018] Deep Probabilistic Logic Programming

Fabrizio Riguzzi (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Ferrara) February 28th, 2018 – 12:00 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) under the distribution semantics handles well relational uncertain data and knwoledge graphs. However, inference is expensive inference so simplified versions of the language have been […]
