New paper published on Proceedings of the Royal Society B
We often notice birds flying in formation, like a ‘V’ or a string. The actual motivation for such an emergent behaviour is pretty elusive. A former PhD student of mine, Elisa Perinot, investigated plenty of data coming from a flock of Geronticus eremita, an endangered species of Ibis. The birds were equipped with accelerometers, hi-res …
Roundtable “HAI presente l’AI?”
A few days ago I partecipated to a roundtable focused on the AI Act organized by the PInK office of technology transfer of Ca’ Foscari. The AI Act was approved on May and will become official on August 2024. The regulation covers many aspects and it is particularly relevant in the case of high risk …
New paper published on Symmetry
One of the core topics of our research group is mechanistic biochemical modeling. The analysis of such models is often performed using simulations, which can be extreme from a computational point of view. Hence, we worked a lot on the acceleration of methods. In order to investigate the performances our algorithms, we need a large …
IEEE WCCI: triplete!
This year, the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) will be held in Glasgow, UK. The WCCI embeds three major IEEE conferences related to Computational Intelligence, that is: The International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) The International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE) The World Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) This year, I had …
New paper about Dynamic Fuzzy Modeling accepted on Bioinformatics
Many years ago we started a cooperation with the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences of the University of Milano-Bicocca. The goal was to govern programmed cell death on K-ras cancer cells under conditions of glucose starvation. Glucose is directly related to metabolism, i.e., glycolysis and TCA cycle in mitochondria, which in turn determine the production …
GenHap, a novel evolutionary approach for haplotyping, published on BMC Bioinformatics
GenHap is a novel evolutionary method to solve the haplotyping problem. basically subdivides the data into multiple independent combinatorial subproblems, each solved using a separate genetic algorithm. Then a recombination step fuses the solutions of subproblems into a final complete haplotype. GenHap also natively distributes the calculations over multiple cores by means of MPI, reducing …
New paper published on Bioinformatics
A couple of years ago, we started a collaboration with the IEO (Istituto Europeo di Oncologia). Prof. Pelicci and his staff investigate Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), one of the most common hematological malignancies, characterized by high relapse and mortality rates. The guys at IEO are wonderful, brilliant, I learned a lot in these months and …
