Luca Pasqualini (University of Siena) Jul 8, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description Writers, poets, singers usually do not create their compositions in just one breath. Text is revisited, adjusted, modified, rephrased, even multiple times, in order to better convey meanings, emotions and feelings that the author wants to express. Amongst the noble written […]

Lisa Graziani (University of Florence) Jul 1, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description In general sketches are generated using generative adversarial models. We propose a new approach which represents the sketches as sequences of segments. This means that segments are ordered with respect to time, so we organize them considering a predefined criterion. We […]

Anna Visibelli (University of Siena) Jun 24, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description Significant efforts have been invested into understanding and predicting the molecular consequences of mutations in protein coding regions, however nearly all approaches have been developed using globular, soluble proteins. These methods have been shown to poorly translate to studying the effects […]

Giorgio Ciano (University of Florence) Jun 17, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description The style-based GAN architecture (StyleGAN) yields state-of-the-art results in data-driven unconditional generative image modeling. We expose and analyze several of its characteristic artifacts, and propose changes in both model architecture and training methods to address them. In particular, we redesign generator […]

Lapo Faggi (University of Florence) Jun 3, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description Fast reactions to changes in the surrounding visual environment require efficient attention mechanisms to reallocate computational resources to the most relevant locations in the visual field. While current computational models keep improving their predictive ability thanks to the increasing availability of […]

Alberto Rossi (University of Florence) May 27, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description To register two images means to align them so that common features overlap and differences are readily apparent. Being able to easily spot differences between two images is obviously very important in applications such as in prostate MRI. In this work, […]

Niccolò Pancino May 20, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description The glass transition is a reversible transition that occurs when an amorphous polymer material is heated or cooled in a particular temperature range. On cooling, the material becomes less flexible, like a glass, and on heating becomes soft. This characteristics dramatically affects the usefulness […]

The problem of parameter estimation for an epidemic model is crucial for the forecasting of the infection spread. We discuss an approach for learning the time-variant parameters of the dynamic SIR model from data. We formulate the problem in terms of a functional risk that depends on the learning variables through the solutions of the […]

Giorgia Giacomini May 6th, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description Ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq profiling) is the most advanced tool to study the translational control of gene expression. Unfortunately, the resolution of this cutting edge technique is severely limited by a low signal to noise ratio. To tackle this issue, we introduce here a newly […]

Nicola Picchiotti Apr 29, 2020 – 11:00 AM Conference Meeting Description We propose a COVID-19 pandemic modelling, based on a SEIR compartmental framework, taking into account the heterogeneous fraction of undetected cases, the mobility variations along time and the adoption of personal protective measures. The model is experimentally validated across both Italian regions and several […]
