Preserving the value of buildings and ensuring performance levels within acceptable parameters throughout their lifespan necessitates constant monitoring. In recent years, artificial intelligence has provided a valuable supplement to conventional inspection practices, potentially offering a supporting tool for building maintenance in smart cities. Exploiting machine learning algorithms for detecti...Show More
In recent years, deep learning has been widely applied to different medical image analysis tasks. However, large-scale annotated datasets are typically unavailable in such a domain, potentially hindering deep learning applications. Transfer learning with a fine-tuning framework is a commonly adopted solution to this issue, exploiting large-scale natural image datasets (e.g., ImageNet) to pre-train...Show More
In recent years, deep learning has emerged as a promising technique for medical image analysis. However, this application domain is likely to suffer from a limited availability of large public datasets and annotations. A common solution to these challenges in deep learning is the usage of a transfer learning framework, typically with a fine-tuning protocol, where a large-scale source dataset is us...Show More
The presented work falls in the field of modelling the presence of multiple clusters of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), i.e., groups of CAVs in traffic flow that, if properly controlled, can positively influence traffic behavior by acting as actuators of specific control strategies. An extended version of the well-known Cell Transmission Model (CTM) is used as a traffic model, where the cell...Show More
Understanding and discriminating the spatiotemporal patterns of activity generated by in vitro and in vivo neuronal networks is a fundamental task in neuroscience and neuroengineering. The state-of-the-art algorithms to describe the neuronal activity mostly rely on global and local well-established spike and burst-related parameters. However, they are not able to capture slight differences in the ...Show More
The term AutoImmune Bullous Diseases (AIBDs) refers to a wide group of skin disorders, in which autoantibodies are developed and directed against proteins of the epidermis and the basal membrane. The correct diagnosis and classification of AIBDs require the analysis of ImmunoFluorescence (IF) skin images. Up to now, it can only be performed by operators with great clinical expertise and it is limi...Show More
Monitoring plankton populations in situ is fundamental to preserve the aquatic ecosystem. Plankton microorganisms are in fact susceptible of minor environmental perturbations, that can reflect into consequent morphological and dynamical modifications. Nowadays, the availability of advanced automatic or semi-automatic acquisition systems has been allowing the production of an increasingly large amo...Show More
Thanks to recent improvements in the neurotechnology, parallel recordings with an ever-increasing number of micro-transducers are now available to monitor the neuronal spiking activity of large-scale neuronal networks. At the same time, continuous improvements are required to develop computationally efficient software for processing and analyzing such huge amounts of data. In this work, we present...Show More
A detailed analysis of functional connectivity of in vitro neural networks, as well as the possibility to understand the interplay between topology, structure, function and dynamics, is very important for better understanding how the nervous system represents and stores the information. Thus, we developed an informatics toolbox to infer functional connectivity in in-vitro neuronal networks. To pro...Show More
Goal of this work is to present a general approach to estimate functional connectivity in in vitro cortical networks coupled to Micro-Electrode Array (MEAs). Specifically, we developed and optimized a Partial Correlation (PC) based algorithm and we compared it to Cross Correlation (CC) and Transfer Entropy (TE) methods. First, we applied the algorithms to simulated networks with different average ...Show More
