Research interests
My current research interestsmainly are on big data analysis, automotive, machine learning, imaging, and datasecurity on cloud platforms.
Big Data Analysis using notstructured data in huge database of images, structured data in biomedicalapplications (in blood diseases and epidemiology) and听 real time applications in automotive throughsensors fusion, and machine learning for multimodal data processing (e.g. multimodalbiometrics, videotracking, human language grounding).
In the field of the Naturallanguage processing I鈥檓 working to develop a grounding language system throughvery large scale neural networks, using the iCub robot platform, as extensionof the ANNABELL system (PlosOne 2015) .听
In the automotive field I developedan automatic recognition system of distracted state of the driver based onwebcam images and pattern recognition techniques (Transportation Research Part C2014), 听and I am working on the detectionof the driver behaviors through several further sensors.
I' m working on the design ofsecurity system on cloud platforms for big data in terms of user鈥檚 authenticationusing biometric multimodal features like fingerprints and face recognition, andthe security of data residing on servers through data fragmentation (SAM2015/2016, CISIS-2016). For seven years I was been also system administrator,security officer, and hardware supervisor of the Cybersar supercomputingcluster ( HPC/GRID ) at University of Sassari, Italy.
I have a long experience on medical imaging, developing Computer Aided Detection/Diagnosis Systems听
