Undergrad
I teach Fundamentals of Computer Programming for the Bachelor Degree in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. In this course we learn how to design basic algorithms and how to code such algorithms in the C language. Basic data structures (list, trees), sorting and searching algorithms are covered.
Lectures are typically a mixture of teaching, active learning and live coding. Students are encouraged to complete voluntary homework during teaching period.

PhD Level
Introduction to Generative Adversarial Networks with M. Bertini – a.y. 2018/2019
In this course we will provide both technical and theoretical insights on how to build and train generative adversarial networks. We will cover basic unconditioned generation, conditional generation and image2image problems such as style transfer, super resolution and compression artifact removal.
Introduction to Deep Learning in Keras with M. Bertini and T. Uricchio – a.y. 2017/2018
In this hands-on course we start from simple MLP models, we than introduce Convolutional Neural Networks and finally we give a quick introduction to generativ adversarial networks. The whole course is based on colab notebook based on Keras.
Visual Recognition: From Handcrafted Features to End-to-End Learning with L. Ballan – a.y. 2016/2017
In this course we first review local handcrafted features and quantization based pipelines. Finally we show how to learn visual features directly from data using convolutional neural networks.
Available Theses
My research is focussed on the use of deep learning for computer vision. If you are interested in topics such as: image generation/enhancement using GANs, object and action recognition, vehicle path prediction contact me email to discuss available projects. You may have a look at the following master and bachelor theses final projects to get an idea of the topics.

Hands on Advanced Bag-of-Words Models at ICIAP 2013 and ICPR 2014 with Lamberto Ballan
In this tutorial we will build a bag of words pipeline from scratch. Attendees will get an overview of this popular method including several practical and implementation details. We will try to code some simple steps of the pipeline in order to gain insight on the method. Code, data and pre-computed features are available on the website. A full working system will also be provided with all the solutions to the exercises proposed during the tutorial. The provided data is a subset (4 and 15 categories) of Caltech-101 dataset; the pipeline is compatible with the full Caltech-101 and Caltech-256 directory structure with no further modification.
