The use of social media, like Twitter or Facebook, as a means to gather information on disparate subjects has increased dramatically over the last few years. A growing number of users rely on such applications even to retrieve emergency updates, like...
It has become apparent that human accounts are not the sole actors in the social media scenario. The expanding role of social media in the consumption and diffusion of information has been accompanied by attempts to influence public opinion....
Fake accounts are the primary means for misuse and abuse of social media platforms, giving rise to coordinated inauthentic behaviors. Despite ongoing efforts to limit their exploitation, ready-to-use fake accounts can be found for sale on several...
Tracking information diffusion is a non-trivial task and it has been widely studied across different domains and platforms. The advent of social media has led to even more challenges, given the higher speed of information propagation and the growing...
This article proposes a fully polarimetric 3D InISAR algorithm. The use of radar polarimetry is proposed in this paper to increase the performance of the 3D InISAR algorithm. Polarimetry is used both to improve the scatterer extraction algorithm and to...
In this work, a Polarimetric Interferometric Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInISAR) based approach is outlined for the 3-D imaging of non-cooperative targets. The role of polarimetry is proven vital here as it allows to select the optimal...
Three-dimensional (3D) ISAR imaging is an effective imaging technique which allows to overtake some interpretability issues typical of bidimensional imaging systems and to enhance the potential of Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms. 3D ISAR...
Content: In recent years, a large number of Scholarly Knowledge Graphs (SKGs) have been introduced in the literature. The communities behind these graphs strive to gather, clean, and integrate scholarly metadata from various sources to produce clean...
Content: Nowadays, a lot of data is in the form of Knowledge Graphs aiming at representing information as a set of nodes and relationships between them. This paper proposes an efficient framework to create informative embeddings for node classification...
Content: Deduplication is a technique aiming at identifying and resolving duplicate metadata records in a collection. This article describes FDup (Flat Collections Deduper), a general-purpose software framework supporting a complete deduplication...
Blockchain (BC) technology has recently emerged as an essential component for different applications, including healthcare and IoT, because of its decentralized ledger, source provenance, and tamper-proof nature. The Internet of Things (IoT) and BC...
COVID-19 has recently manifested as one of the most serious life-threatening infections and is still circulating globally. COVID-19 can be contained to a considerable extent if a patient can know their COVID-19 infection at a possible earlier time, and...
Abstract: Mission control and fault management are fundamental in safety-critical scenarios such as space applications. To this extent, fault detection techniques are crucial to meet the desired safety and integrity level. This work proposes a fault...
In this study, an innovative approach for the surface reconstruction and mechanical evaluation of anatomical defects for robotic-based in situ bioprinting applications is presented. A touch probe was developed to be used as the end-effector of a 5...
Multi-user orbital angular momentum (MU-OAM) wireless backhaul systems require precise alignment of transmitted and received OAM beams in line-of-sight (LoS) scenarios. Therefore, a crucial feature for a macro base station (MBS) is to accurately obtain...

ABSTRACT This work presents the design and synthesis of a processing unit for numbers encoded according to the recently introduced BAN format. Such an encoding allows one to represent numbers which are not only finite (as the reals) but also infinitely...
ABSTRACT This work aims at reviewing the state of the art of the field of lexicographic multi/many-objective optimization. The discussion starts with a review of the literature, emphasizing the numerous application in the real life and the recent burst...
