Gruppo opzionale: GRUPPO OPZIONALE C - (visualizza) 6                1047208 - STATISTICAL LEARNING (obiettivi) Devising new machine learning methods and statistical models is a fun and extremely fruitful “art”. But these powerful tools are not useful unless we understand when they work, and when they fail. The main goal of statistical learning theory is thus to study, in a statistical framework, the properties of learning algorithms mainly in the form of so-called error bounds. This course introduces the techniques that are used to obtain such results, combining methodology with theoretical foundations and computational aspects. It treats both the basic principles to design successful learning algorithms and the “science” of analyzing an algorithm’s statistical properties and performance guarantees. Theorems are presented together with practical aspects of methodology and intuition to help students develop tools for selecting appropriate methods and approaches to problems in their own data analyses. Methods for a wide variety of applied problems will be explored and implemented on open-source software like R (www.r-project.org), Keras (https://keras.io/) and TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org/). Knowledge and understanding On successful completion of this course, students will: know the main learning methodologies and paradigms with their strengths and weakness; be able to identify a proper learning model for a given problem; assess the empirical and theoretical performance of different learning models; know the main platforms, programming languages and solutions to develop effective implementations. Applying knowledge and understanding Besides the understanding of theoretical aspects, thanks to applied homeworks and a final project possibly linked to hackathons or other data analysis competitions, the students will constantly be challenged to use and evaluate modern learning techniques and algorithms. Making judgements On successful completion of this course, students will develop a positive critical attitude towards the empirical and theoretical evaluation of statistical learning paradigms and techniques. Communication skills In preparing the report and oral presentation for the final project, students will learn how to effectively communicate original ideas, experimental results and the principles behind advanced data analytic techniques in written and oral form. They will also understand how to offer constructive critiques on the presentations of their peers. Learning skills In this course the students will develop the skills necessary for a successful understanding as well as development of new learning methodologies together with their effective implementation. The goal is of course to grow a active attitude towards continued learning throughout a professional career. - BRUTTI PIERPAOLO (programma) 1. Review of basic probability and inference. 2.

Recentemente, tali problemi sono divenuti centrali nella ricerca algoritmica, che ha sviluppato nuovi modelli e paradigmi di progetto. Questo corso verterà sullo studio di alcune di queste tecniche. Gli argomenti di studio includeranno tecniche algoritmiche per importanti problemi di analisi di dati quali il clustering, in scenari in cui i tempi di calcolo debbono essere sub-lineari. Verranno anche considerati scenari on-line e altri in cui soluzioni precedentemente proposte vanno ricalcolate in modo efficiente a seguito di modifiche dinamiche dei dati.

It will include theory and practical coding, as well as a final hands-on project. Towards the coding assignments and the final project, the students will work in teams and present their ideas and project outcome to the class. Specific objectives The first part of the course includes delving into state-of-the-art DNN models for classification and regression 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). The course further discusses 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). The second part of the course delves into models, training techniques and data manipulation for generalization, domain adaptation and meta-learning. Further to transfer learning (how pre-trained models may be deployed for other tasks), it discusses 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, it presents 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. Knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course students will be familiar with state-of-the-art DNN models for multiple tasks and multi-task objectives, as well as generalization and the effective use of labelled and unlabelled data for learning, self-supervision and meta-learning. Apply knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course students will have become familiar with the most recent advances in machine learning across a variety of tasks, their adaptation to novel domains and the continual self-learning of algorithms. They will be able to explain the algorithms and choose the most appropriate techniques for a given problem. They will be able to experiment with existing implementations and design and write programs for new solutions for a given task or problem in the two fields. Critical and judgment skills: Students will be able to analyse a problem or task and identify the most suitable methodologies and techniques to apply in terms of the effective resolution of the problem (accuracy) and its feasibility, including the efficiency, the required amount of data and annotation. Further to class discussions, critical and judgemental skills would be the result of assignments, a course project and a final project report. Communication skills: Students will acquire the ability to expose their knowledge in a clear and organized way, which will be verified through a final project presentation and its discussion. Students will be able to express their solutions rigorously and to explain the structure of the code they have written. Learning ability: The acquired knowledge will enable students to face the study of other problems in machine learning and computer vision.

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. - Erogato presso  10589568 EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSIS in Statistical Methods and Applications - Metodi statistici e applicazioni LM-82 MAGGI BERNARDO 6  SECS-S/03  24  36  -  -  Attività formative affini ed integrative  ENG 10589730 - 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. - CRESPI MATTIA GIOVANNI (programma) Geospatial data and geo big data challenges Geodesy and Cartography: Spatial and temporal reference systems and frames; coordinate systems; practical exercises with online software Positioning with Global Positioning System: positioning and technicalities fundamentals; pseudorange and carrier phase observations modeling and processing; different kinds of GPS surveys, Network Real Time Kinematic surveys; other Global Navigation Satellite Systems; positioning with smartphones; practical exercises with instruments, smartphones and software  Metric information from imagery: photogrammetry fundamentals and models; 3D object reconstruction (surface modeling); digital imagery main features (geometric, temporal, radiometric and spectral resolution); terrestrial, aerial and satellte imagery processing; automated surface modeling and matching techniques; digital terrain models and orthophotos; practical exercises with instruments, smartphones and software Geographical Information Science: data structures, geo big data cloud storage and processing (Google Earth Engine), Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), crowdsourcing; practical exercises with Google Earth Engine   Slides of the course Reference books and articles: Peter J.G.
