This weekend 5 of our members (Carola Caivano, Matteo Allione, Matteo Gallo, Marco Casari, Michele Romani) challenged themselves by participating in the hackathon https://www.br41n.io/ organised by g.tec medical engineering GmbH.It was a formative and motivating experience that allowed us to explore the application of CNNs in the field of Brain computer interface, in particular in P300 speller challenge.The results we gained were very accurate and extremely significant and encourage us to carry out a line of research to exploit Transformer models for Causal Language generation, in order to improve the efficiency of spellers for patients who are unable to communicate autonomously. Special thanks for the support to: Pompei Student LabNPO Torino s.r.l.HPC4AI #braincomputerinterfaces#deeplearning ...

Report from NeurIPS 2022, New Orleans, LA (USA)

Report from NeurIPS 2022, New Orleans, LA (USA)

by Valerio PagliarinoNo Comments
Presentation at NeurIPS 2022, "Symmetries and Geometry in Neural Representations" Workshop (NeurReps) Workshop website | NeurIPS website Last week, some of our members went to New Orleans for the thirty-sixth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, one of the biggest gatherings of machine learning researchers from all over the world. Having the chance to bring part of our association to NeurIPS 2022 was a great honour for us. We took part in multiple events. Simone Azeglio and Arianna Di Bernardo co-organised with Sophia Sanborn, Nina Miolane and Christian Shewmake the wonderful Symmetry and Geometry in Neural Representations (NeurReps) workshop gathering together researchers at the intersection of geometric deep learning, applied geometry, and neuroscience (Taco Cohen, Irina Higgins and many more) to study the geometric principles underlying neural representations. Secondly, our members Luca Bottero, Francesco Calisto and Valerio Pagliarino presented their work on learning geometrical features from images through group action enforcement in the poster session (https://openreview.net/forum?id=sEn61s0M1hy).They proposed an autoencoder architecture capable of...

MLJC project in Geometric DL accepted at NeurIPS 2022, New Orleans (USA)

by Valerio PagliarinoNo Comments
We are delighted to announce that a group from MLJC including Luca Bottero, Francesco Calisto and Valerio Pagliarino will present their work at the world-leading conference NeurIPS 2022 (Neural Information Processing Systems) in the Neur-Reps (https://www.neurreps.org/) (Symmetries and Geometry in Neural Representations) workshop. The conference will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA) from November, 27th to December 3rd. The project is inserted in the landscape of Geometric Deep Learning (GDL), a relatively recent branch of Machine Learning aiming at studying how to enforce geometrical structures and priors into ML models, whit the final goal of increasing performances, generalization capabilities and explainability. This specific work, titled Unsupervised Learning of Geometrical Features from Images by explicit Group Action Enforcement, has the ability of automatically disentangling the geometric rototranslational and scaling features from the intrinsic ones, when creating a latent representation of a dataset of input images. This line of research may lead in future to the development of more powerful and efficient architectures...

Questa mattina, 15 febbraio 2022, il Machine Learning Journal Club ha incontrato a Torino il ministro per gli Affari Federali, Europei e Internazionali della Renania settentrionale - Vestfalia Stephan dr Holthoff-Pförtner. All'incontro era presente anche il console generale a Milano dr Ingrid Jung. Il Ministro era a Torino per la firma di una Dichiarazione di Intenti per la collaborazione e lo sviluppo di relazioni amichevoli tra la Regione Piemonte e il Land tedesco della Renania settentrionale-Vestfalia sui temi dell'idrogeno, dell'intelligenza artificiale, della guida autonoma e dell'agricoltura di qualità. [1] L'incontro ha avuto come principale tema di discussione il rapporto tra intelligenza artificiale ed etica: è emerso come la collaborazione interdisciplinare tra tecnologi e umanisti sia oggi indispensabile per guidare lo sviluppo dell'AI esplorandone al massimo le potenzialità e mantenendo al centro l'uomo. All'incontro erano presenti Don Luca Peyron, giurista, teologo, docente presso l'Università di Torino del corso di "Spiritualità delle tecnologie emergenti", Faculty Fellow del Centro Nexa del Politecnico di Torino ed esperto...
