Social Networks structure

Submitted by zennaro2 on

The Internet has brought in the last two decades an explosion of online communities, in some cases spanning over a billion participants - communities that are qualitatively different from traditional ones both because of intrinsic properties and because of their massive scale. Their analysis, and the analysis of the analysis tools themselves, remains a fertile ground for research (and one with a lot of money in it!) at the crossroads of many disciplines.

Recommendation and Reputation Systems

Submitted by zennaro2 on

Recommender systems (e.g., Amazon, LinkedIn, ...) and reputation systems (e.g., Tripadvisor, Booking.com, ...) have the purpose of providing advices for decision making in e-commerce and online service environments. They are similar in the sense that both collect data of members in a community in order to provide advice to those members. However, there are also fundamental differences. The purpose of recommender systems is mainly to generate suggestions about resources that a user a priori is not aware of but is possibly interest in.

Computer engineering for music and multimedia

Submitted by zennaro2 on

Music is a transcultural language, and, taking advantage of this, CSC group aims at facilitating the inclusion of people with disabilities (e.g., multimodal interaction for learning and well-being, acoustic analysis for safety and security in the workplace) and the dialogue among different cultures and populations (production of new multimedia cultural events, computing and cultural heritage, preservation and valorization of audio documents, computational creativity, speech technolo

3D Audio

Submitted by zennaro2 on

  • Development of innovative techniques for spatial audio synthesis with particular attention to binaural audio synthesis based on Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) and real-time audio rendering.
  • Development of the "Mixed Structural Modeling (MSM)" framework for the design of HRTFs, combining synthetic modeling paradigms with HRTF selection techniques.
  • Customization of HRTFs, based on individual anthropometric data, which are used to either fit model parameters or to select recorded components within a dataset of available responses.

Cybersecurity

Submitted by zennaro2 on

Our modern society is becoming every day more reliant on its capability to store, transmit and process digital data, the goal of cybersecurity is to guarantee both the data and the infrastructures in terms of integrity, availability and confidentiality.

P2P and Ad-hoc Network Security

Submitted by zennaro2 on

The distributed nature of peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networks makes "securing" them against the activities of even a small fraction of malicious users particularly challenging.

  • Time coordination in P2P and ad-hoc networks
  • "Physical" information transport in mobile networks
  • Secure Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs)
  • Secure distributed voting systems
