Digital Content Analysis is a wide term related to the application of algorithms, methods and techniques for generation of information and knowledge starting from data of any kind: images, video, georeferenced visual maps or big data from the Web. |
Data science is a branch of research strongly linked to Artificial Intelligence. This area is specifically focused on the elaboration and development of models for data analysis with the aim of extracting knowledge, in terms of information content, which can then be used as input in other industrial and research contexts. Leveraging the most modern technologies in the context of machine learning and deep learning, DCALab researchers develop solutions for the analysis of heterogeneous data sources with characteristics typical of the “Big Data” context.
AI-DRIVEN CYBERSECURITY and PRIVACY:
Preserving a focus on information management and processing, the DCALab embraces aspects of cybersecurity and privacy.
In particular, the laboratory has often focused on the definition of privacy-preserving models for the use and exchange of services in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Furthermore, strategies have been developed to protect the interaction between digital entities using behavioral fingerprinting approaches.
Finally, DCALab researchers study innovative solutions to improve the reliability of distributed approaches related to data analysis and processing such as, for example, Federated Learning strategies. In particular, the vulnerabilities introduced by these approaches and the definition of solutions for their protection from cyber attacks are studied.
High-performance computing (HPC) technology applies the power of supercomputers or computer clusters to solve complex problems that needs massive computation.
These HPC systems might be used to run programs that require processors that can execute instructions faster than standard computers, sometimes using multiple processors in parallel architectures or supercomputers to obtain results in a reasonable time..
