Matteo Bruno won the NEDO award!
08 Friday Nov 2019
During the wonderful TOFFEe workshop #1 on the 24th of October, Matteo Bruno graduated as the youngest NEDO award winner at the age of 25 years and 290 days. Here is the photo of the slides containing the NEDO can. Congratulation to our prodigious Nedoer!
The can is quite small, but it’s there. As in the most honorable NEDO tradition, there is no sense for the presence of the NEDO can there.
First Workshop of the Florence Center for Data Science
21 Tuesday May 2019
Posted in Conferences and meetings, Seminar, Workshops
Hi, Nedoers,
this quick message is for advertising a workshop in Florence launching the Florence Center For Data Science, directed by prof. Mealli. You can find more information here.
Florence is near, even if Trenitalia may have given you a different perspective, thus participate since it is soopercool 🙂 By the way, viale Morgagni is pretty close to the Firenze Rifredi railway station, you can easily reach the conference venue on foot.
Cheers and stay tuNEDO!
I mean, Science is cool, but even Lampredotto is. Do not leave Florence without trying it!
TOFFEe workshop!
09 Tuesday Apr 2019
Dear Nedoers,
TOFFEe (TOols for Fighting FakEs) is a IMT PAI (Progetto di Attività Integrata, integrated research activity project), leaded by prof. Rocco De Nicola and including prof. Guido Caldarelli, prof. Irene Crimaldi, dr. Fabio Saracco and dr. Marinella Petrocchi (IIT, CNR, Pisa).
The TOFFEe crew is proud to invite the whole IMT community (but, above all, the Nedoers) to its first kick-off workshop, that will take place on Wednesday April 17 at 2 pm in the Cappella Guinigi.
The ambition of TOFFEe is to overcome important limitations of existing social platforms, which often dedicate little attention to trustworthy interaction among peers and to reliability of information. The aim of the project is to increase people’s confidence on the data they get and about who they follow, while minimizing the risk of false information and malicious actions.
TOFFEe will build on expertises in Computer Science for studying the effective paths of data over the net and their sources, Network Science for studying social connections, Sociology and Psychology for studying the dynamics leading to trust fakes, Probability and Statistics for analyzing the widespread of the fakes and their impact. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the proposal, many of the expertises present in the IMT School, well beyond the list of proposers, will be involved.
The (tentative) program has already changed since the official mail:
14:30 Rocco De Nicola, Guido Caldarelli (IMT School): Introduction
15:10 Andrea Nicolai, Simona De Rosa (T6Ecosystems): SOMA: the European social Media Observatory on disinformation: strategies and plans to tackle fake news
15:30 Break
15:40 Stefano Cresci (IIT, CNR, Pisa): Spotting content-polluting botnets in Twitter
16:00 Marinella Petrocchi (IIT, CNR): Better Safe Than Sorry: an Adversarial Approach to improve Social Bot Detection
16:20 Toffee Break
16:40 Alessandro Balestrucci (GSSI School of Advanced Studies, L’Aquila): The target audience of misinformation: Credulous human users
17:00 Carolina Becatti (IMT School): Collaboration and followership: a stochastic model for activities in social networks
17:20 Fabio Saracco (IMT School): The backbone of news consumption on social networks and the political debate on Twitter
17:40 Rocco De Nicola (IMT School): Conclusions and farewell
You are welcome to participate, whether you are interested or not.
Cheers and stay tuNEDO,
Nedo
The TOFFEe logo is indeed pretty cool.
