I've been invited to give a keynote talk at the WISE 2022 Conference. Thinking about it, I decided to focus on my idea of a bi-verse. To me, the bi-verse is the duality between the physical and digital worlds. On one side, the Web and social media are the environments where people post their content, … Continue reading Exploring the bi-verse: a trip across the digital and physical ecospheres

A Model-Driven Approach for Multi-experience Development Platforms
Our recent research tackles the application of model-driven techniques to the development of software applications embedding a multiexperience UI.
Driving Style and Behavior Analysis based on Trip Segmentation over GPS Information through Unsupervised Learning
Over one billion cars interact with each other on the road every day. Each driver has his own driving style, which could impact safety, fuel economy and road congestion. Knowledge about the driving style of the driver could be used to encourage "better" driving behaviour through immediate feedback while driving, or by scaling auto insurance … Continue reading Driving Style and Behavior Analysis based on Trip Segmentation over GPS Information through Unsupervised Learning
Myths and Challenges in Knowledge Extraction and Big Data Analysis
The knowledge we may try to extract from human-generated content, IoT and Web sources can be dispersed, informal, contradicting, unsubstantiated and ephemeral today, while already tomorrow it may be commonly accepted.
The challenge is to capture and create consolidated knowledge that is new, has not been formalized yet in existing knowledge bases, and is buried inside a big, moving target (the live stream of online data).
The myth is that existing tools (spanning fields like semantic web, machine learning, statistics, NLP, and so on) suffice to the objective.
I explore the problem that one can face along this path.
Urban Data Science Bootcamp
We organize a crash-course on how the science of urban data can be applied to solve metropolitan issues. The course is a 2 days face-to-face event with teaching sessions, workshops, case study discussions and hands-on activities for non-IT professionals in the field of city management. It is issued in two editions along the year: in … Continue reading Urban Data Science Bootcamp
