Research Interests
My research interests are focused on Machine Learning techniques like neural networks and SVM algorithms to develop intelligent systems to, for example, fault detection and diagnosis of HVAC systems, in time series analysis and for rehabilitation videogame.
During my research I am also involved in the development of computational models (as deep networks) for cognitive processes. In particolar a model that mimic the sensorimotor transformations occuring in PPC brain area for investigate the space representation mechanisms and the visual/postural information integration methods.
These complex cognitive models have a high computational cost so I developed a parallel computing paradigm to reduce the computer time of unsupervised learning in deep networks, based on distributing training data among multiple computational nodes in a cluster throught Message Passing Interface (MPI) a standardized and portable message-passing system.
