Structural Knowledge Extraction and Representation in Sensory Data
During the last decades the availability of increasingly cheaper technology for pervasive monitoring has boosted the creation of systems able to automatically comprehend the events occurring in the monitored area, in order to plan a set of actions to bring the environment closer to the user's preferences. These systems must inevitably process a great amount of raw data - sensor measurements - and need to summarize them in a high-level representation to accomplish their tasks. An implicit requirement is the need to learn from experience, in order to be able to capture the hidden structure of the data, in terms of relations between its key components. The availability of large collections of …
Text localization from photos
2009
In this paper a new text extraction algorithm is proposed. In real scenes the text is usually overlapped or is part of the background. To identify the text regions, in complex conditions, a method exploiting a “multi-resolution feature based method” for extracting text with undefined dimension has been developed. Once identified, the multi-resolution information are merged and skimmed through a set of Support Vector Machines (SVM). The tests and the comparisons with other techniques, performed on heterogeneous images, have shown the effectiveness of the proposed.
Fake News Spreaders Detection: Sometimes Attention Is Not All You Need
2022
Guided by a corpus linguistics approach, in this article we present a comparative evaluation of State-of-the-Art (SotA) models, with a special focus on Transformers, to address the task of Fake News Spreaders (i.e., users that share Fake News) detection. First, we explore the reference multilingual dataset for the considered task, exploiting corpus linguistics techniques, such as chi-square test, keywords and Word Sketch. Second, we perform experiments on several models for Natural Language Processing. Third, we perform a comparative evaluation using the most recent Transformer-based models (RoBERTa, DistilBERT, BERT, XLNet, ELECTRA, Longformer) and other deep and non-deep SotA models (CNN,…
L’ORIGINE DELLA VIOLENZA MASCHILE NEL FEMMINISMO E LA PORNOGRAFIA NEL PENSIERO DI MACKINNON
2019
In this article, first, I will show that the masculine violence against women is likely to depend on some causes, and one is surely the crisis of patriarchal conception, and should be repressed in many ways. Second, I will show that there are some fallacies in MacKinnon’s thought about pornography
Mazzarino (CL), contrada Minnelli (sito 41)
2016
The contribution illustrates the site of Contrada Minnelli, in the territory of Mazzarino, which has returned a settlement intended for handicraft production, frequented between the 5th and 6th centuries AD, probably to be identified with the site of Macharina mentioned by the sources. Particular attention is paid to the artifacts of African production found (amphoras, lamps, fragments of sigillata).
Machinima tra cinema e arte
2018
Machinima, ovvero una forma di produzione di contenuti video digitali che sta a metà strada tra cinema, videogame e arte.
Intersezioni. Percorsi attraverso i saperi. Stato e potere
2012
"Intersezioni. Percorsi attraverso i saperi" sono dei percorsi interdisciplinari inseriti nel "Nuovo manuale di letteratura" di Luperini, Cataldi, Marchiani, Marchese, che vengono introdotti per potenziare il lavoro di preparazione in vista dell'esame di Stato della Scuola Secondaria di 2° grado. Tali percorsi intrecciano testi letterari e non letterari (compresi documenti iconografici e fotografici) e forniscono dei laboratori di scrittura per la produzione del saggio breve, del tema storico o di ordine generale. In particolare, questo percorso è dedicato all'idea di potere e alla concezione dello Stato nel Medioevo e nel Rinascimento fino alla nascita dello Stato moderno.
Derrida, Heidegger, Pascal, et la question de l'animal
2012
L'article essaye de retrouver un fil qui lie Derrida à Pascal à propos du statut de l'humain et du rapport entre l'homme et l'animal. Cette reconstruction passe par la lecture d'Heidegger de la part de Derrida et par la lecture heideggerienne de Pascal.
The Robotic Construction Kit as a Tool for Cognitive Stimulation in Children and Adolescents: The RE4BES Protocol
2019
Through numerous experiences, the robotics has been demonstrated to have good potential in the field of strengthening social skills in children with Special Educational Needs and in particular with autism spectrum disorder. There are still not many experimental studies on the cognitive enhancement and social skills of children with special needs conducted with robotics construction kits that, requiring both the construction of the robot body and the programming of its “mind“, bring into play a multiplicity of cognitive and social skills. For the aforementioned reasons our team from the University of Palermo and from the Center MetaIntelligenze ONLUS developed the treatment protocol RE4BES, …
Automatic differentiation of melanoma from dysplastic nevi.
2015
International audience; Malignant melanoma causes the majority of deaths related to skin cancer. Nevertheless, it is the most treatable one, depending on its early diagnosis. The early prognosis is a challenging task for both clinicians and dermatologist, due to the characteristic similarities of melanoma with other skin lesions such as dysplastic nevi. In the past decades, several computerized lesion analysis algorithms have been proposed by the research community for detection of melanoma. These algorithms mostly focus on differentiating melanoma from benign lesions and few have considered the case of melanoma against dysplastic nevi. In this paper, we consider the most challenging task a…
