Seminar
C222RNA-Seq data analysis is fundamental in a number of experiments, e.g., epigenetic studies, RNA-editing, gene-fusion phenomena, somatic variants classification, and tissue response to stresses. The task of estimating gene expression is crucial in these contexts and the tools used to solve it are among the most delicate that the bioinformatics community is called to produce and analyse.We... -

Exactum, B119TitleArtificial Neural Network Approaches for Characterizing the Frequency Content of SignalsAbstractThe utility of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) lies in the fact that they can be used to infer a function from observations. Indeed, these non-parametric models are able to learn from and to adapt to their environment with weak assumptions. They are... -
Evolution and Computation
Prof. Christos Papadimitriou, University of California, Berkeley, US
Abstract:I shall discuss recent work on some central problems in Evolution that was inspired and informed by computational ideas. Considerations about the performance of genetic algorithms led to a novel theory on the role of sex in Evolution based on the concept of mixability, while a natural process on Boolean functions can help understand Waddington's genetic assimilation phenomenon and...

Automatical composition of poems and songsABSTRACT
Constraints are a major factor shaping the conceptual space of many areas of creativity. We propose to use constraint programming techniques and off-the-shelf constraint solvers in the creative task of poetry writing.

Touching Brains: the virtual Midas Touch
Dr. Michiel Sovijarvi-Spape, HIIT
Abstract:Modern technology increasingly allows interpersonal communication to take place in rich, interactive settings that allow a sense of social presence, even if there is no physical presence. I will discuss a recent study in which we used vibrations to simulate the presence of the other with a type of virtual "touch". Previous research on the "Midas Touch" showed that touching someone can elicit a type...
