AI/ML and Information systems for unconventional data
- Quality analysis of social network information in emergency situations. The thesis will focus on quality aspects of the information gathered from geolocated tweets, and in particular images, in particular analyzing the precision of the image geolocation.

- thesis topic: improving geoparsing with machine learning techniques
- Citizen science for monitoring climate impacts
Citizen Science for Monitoring Climate Impacts and Achieving Climate Resilience: the thesis will focus on the use of social media and other non-traditional data sources for more effective monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by citizens. A specific focus will be on new types or unusual occurrence rates of natural events.
* Corsi di studio compatibili (CSE, TLC,GEOINF). - For the above theses there is the possibility of stay abroad at University of Geneva (funded)
- Scientific models: big data validation and aggregation at different levels of detail, and ML techniques for supporting the development of new models. Several theses are available in the area of investigating how, given a large set of experimental data and a set of existing models which should approximate them, it is possible to automatically evaluate the performance of the computational model models. The models deal with combustion data, but no preliminary knowledge in chemistry is required. The thesis is in the fields of information systems, data science, collaborative work and machine learning. Paper to read if you are interested in the thesis.
- Uncertainty of results of deep learning techniques
The thesis concerns the evaluation of graph-based representation of scientific data and the evaluation of uncertainty of results of deep learning techniques. Considered applications can be in one of the following areas: mathematical models for chemistry, tweet geolocation techniques, sensor data.
