Article
Over the last decade, several regulatory bodies have started requiring the disclosure of non-financial information from publicly listed companies, in light of the investors’ increasing attention to Environment...
Article
LiteBIRD is a satellite mission to be launched by JAXA in the early 2030s. It will measure the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) primordial B-modes with an unprecedented sensitivity. Microwave radiation will b...
Article
Machine learning is increasingly important in microbiology where it is used for tasks such as predicting antibiotic resistance and associating human microbiome features with complex host diseases. The applicat...
Article
One population group that had to significantly adapt and change their behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic is students. While previous studies have extensively investigated the impact of the pandemic on thei...
Article
Being able to provide counterfactual interventions—sequences of actions we would have had to take for a desirable outcome to happen—is essential to explain how to change an unfavourable decision by a black-box...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Future deep learning systems call for techniques that can deal with the evolving nature of temporal data and scarcity of annotations when new problems occur. As a step towards this goal, we present FUSION (Few...
Article
We introduce and study knowledge drift (KD), a special form of concept drift that occurs in hierarchical classification. Under KD the vocabulary of concepts, their individual distributions, and the is-a relations...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Almost all Deep Learning models are dramatically affected by Catastrophic Forgetting when learning over continual streams of data. To mitigate this problem, several strategies for Continual Learning have been ...
Article
Temporal graphs are structures which model relational data between entities that change over time. Due to the complex structure of data, mining statistically significant temporal subgraphs, also known as tempo...
Article
The rapid dynamics of COVID-19 calls for quick and effective tracking of virus transmission chains and early detection of outbreaks, especially in the “phase 2” of the pandemic, when lockdown and other restric...
Article
Training data creation is increasingly a key bottleneck for develo** machine learning, especially for deep learning systems. Active learning provides a cost-effective means for creating training data by sele...
Article
Lexical Semantics is concerned with how words encode mental representations of the world, i.e., concepts. We call this type of concepts, classification concepts. In this paper, we focus on Visual Semantics, namel...
Article
Various studies have investigated the predictability of different aspects of human behavior such as mobility patterns, social interactions, and shop** and online behaviors. However, the existing researches h...
Article
We propose an interactive machine learning framework where the machine questions the user feedback when it realizes it is inconsistent with the knowledge previously accumulated. The key idea is that the machin...
Article
Defining appropriate distance functions is a crucial aspect of effective and efficient similarity-based prediction and retrieval. Relational data are especially challenging in this regard. By viewing relationa...
Article
The advent of high-throughput experimental techniques paved the way to genome-wide computational analysis and predictive annotation studies. When considering the joint annotation of a large set of related enti...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Layout synthesis refers to the problem of arranging objects subject to design preferences and structural constraints. Applications include furniture arrangement, space partitioning (e.g. subdividing a house in...

Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper we consider the problem of simultaneously eliciting the preferences of a group of users in an interactive way. We focus on constructive recommendation tasks, where the instance to be recommended sho...
