I am interested into basic machine learning methodologies, in particular Bayesian modelling and inference, Monte Carlo, optimization and Matrix and Tensor decomposition methods. I lead the research group PILab-sigma, that receives both local, national and EU fundig. Our group works and collaborates with industry on several applications such as audio and music processing, anomaly detection, time series, bioinformatics, tracking, sensor fusion, recommendation systems, customer analytics; and has spawned a spin-off company, Algosis, that is focusing on financial applications.
