EARTH OBSERVATION DATA ANALYSIS
(obiettivi)
The module aims at providing a general background on the remote sensing
systems for Earth Observation from space‐borne platforms and on data
processing techniques. It describes, using a system approach, the characteristics
of the system to be specified to fulfil the final user requirements in different
domains of application. Remote sensing basics and simple wave‐interaction
models useful for data interpretation are reviewed together with technical
principles of the main remote sensors. The course also provides an overview
of the most important applications and bio‐geophysical parameters (of the
atmosphere, the ocean and the land) which can be retrieved. The most important
techniques for data processing and product generation, also by proposing
practical exercises using the computer, are analysed together with an overview
of the main Earth Observation satellite missions and the products they provide to
the final user.

A first objective of the course is to provide a basic toolbox for the analysis of agent and group interaction under uncertainty and asymmetric information, and its main consequences on markets enabled from large-scale digital platforms. A second objective of the course will be to provide the basic methods for the use of big data for estimating relevant economic indices. The active participation of students will be stimulated with game-theoretic examples, presentations, simple experiments, case-studies and projects involving the use of real-world data.

EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSIS
(obiettivi)
This course has the target of providing the students with the modern techniques of measuring quantitatively advanced topics in economic statistics. In particular our focus will be on three main interrelated directions: 1) the analysis of production and efficiency, specifically in the private but also in the public sectors, 2) economic dynamics of sectorial systems founded on micro data, 3) growth, ICT and technology in the modern economy. This course uses statistical methods, both stochastic and deterministic, to analyze topics such as productivity, efficiency and growth at micro, sectorial, and for coherence at macro level. We first take into exam data from firms that will be useful for the mentioned three-levels study, then, as regards the efficiency analysis of productive units, such data will be employed in order to evaluate mergers and acquisitions of plants and firms and management of productive factors. Efficiency will be evaluated from the sides of costs, profits and revenues. As for the sectorial analysis, static and dynamic models will be considered to allow for forecasts and simulations in each sector for variables like production, labour, capital, raw materials, prices and capital gains. As a consequence, an aggregate analysis on the production, growth and prices will follow. We also deal with ICT and technical progress in the production process considering how and if the associated externalities are effective. We will use the following techniques for data analysis: accounting rules for the database, panel data econometrics, time series analysis for systems of equations, methods for differential equation systems. Topics on private and also public sectors will contribute to explain the relationship between economic structure and the actual crisis. Specifically, lectures also include the examinations of cases study concerning the efficiency and productivity analysis on the recent patterns of the banking sector in the international context.

GEOMATICS AND GEOINFORMATION
(obiettivi)
The vast majority (a percentage close to 80%) of the currently available data has a geographical connotation, is intrinsically linked to a position; they are therefore named geospatial data. Furthermore, the ever-increasing availability of sensors capable of acquiring geospatial data, allowing the acquisition of larger and larger amounts of data, raises several important issues related to the correct, efficient and effective use of these geospatial big data. This course therefore finds its motivation in the great availability and relevance of geospatial data (in particular big data), and it aims to provide the fundamentals on the main methodologies and techniques currently available for their acquisition, verification, analysis, storage and delivery. Special attention is given to data coming from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), remote sensing and photogrammetry, volunteered geographic information (VGI) and crowdsourcing, both regarding their analysis and management with freely available software and open source software and their applications. As overall transversal competences, starting from the specific geomatic methods and techniques, students will be trained to develop skills to design both experiments encompassing geospatial big data acquisition, analysis and interpretation, and to use these data to solve interdisciplinary problems also with original approaches. Moreover, students will get the skills enabling the continuous and autonomous update of their methodological and technical competences during their professional life.

Goal of this course is to provide an overview of the large world of wireless and wired technologies that are will be used for the Smart Environments. These technologies will be able to provide infrastructures of networks and digital information used in the urban spaces and smart environments to build advanced applications. Recent advances in areas like pervasive computing, machine learning, wireless and sensor networking enable various smart environment applications in everyday life. The main goal of this course is to present and discuss recent advances in the area of the Internet of Things, in particular on technologies, architectures, algorithms and protocols for smart environments with emphasis on real smart environment applications. The course will present the communication and networking aspects as well as the processing of data to be used for the application design. The course will propose two cases studies in the field of smart environments: Vehicular Traffic monitoring for ITS applications and Network cartography. In both cases instruments, models and methodologies for the design of smart environments applications will be provided.

ADVANCED MACHINE LEARNING

GALASSO FABIO
( programma)
The course would present advanced concepts of machine learning and their application in computer vision via deep neural network (DNN) models. It would include theory and practical coding, as well as a final hands-on project.
In a first part of the course, I would introduce state-of-the-art DNN models for classification, showing how to estimate which objects are within an image. I would then showcase regression, as applied to detection (where the objects are in the image), pose estimation (whether people stand, sit or crunch) and re-identification (estimating a unique vector representation for each person). I would further discuss DNNs for multi-task objectives (joint detection, pose estimation, re-identification, segmentation, depth estimation etc). This first part would include DNNs which apply to video sequences, by leveraging memory (e.g. LSTMs) or attention (Transformers).
In a second part of the course, I would discuss generalization and the effective use of labelled and unlabelled data for learning. Further to transfer learning (how pre-trained models may be deployed for other tasks), I would discuss multi-modal (with different sensor modalities such as depth or thermal cameras) and self-supervision (e.g. training the DNN model by solving jigsaw puzzles) to auto-annotate large amounts of data. Finally, I would present domain adaptation (e.g. apply daytime-detectors for night vision) and meta-learning, a most recent framework to learn how to learn a task, e.g. online or from little available data.
