On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, students enrolled in the Ph.D. in Computer and Control Engineering and in the National Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence present and discuss their research activities in the context of the DAUIN PhD Day 2024.
Among them, Tommaso Calò will be available to talk about his research with a poster that summarizes three years of work on enhancing human-AI interaction.
On Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 11:00, Luca Mannella defended his Ph.D. final dissertation titled "Security IoT Gateways in Smart Home Environments".
The defense was evaluated by the international commission composed of: Giorgio Giacinto (Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy), Luigi Patrono (Università del Salento, Italy), Davide Ferraris (Universidad del Malaga, Spain), Andrea Vesco (Fondazione LINKS, Italy); and coordinated by Claudio Ettore Casetti (Politecnico di Torino, Italy).
Sabato 28 settembre, dalle ore 10.30 alle 19.00, parteciperemo alla Notte Europea delle Ricercatrici e dei Ricercatori a Torino, in Piazzetta Reale (Musei Reali di Torino), con un Laboratorio di Ricerca intitolato "Riconquista il tuo Tempo, Imparando il Benessere Digitale".
On September 4-6, 2024, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2024) in Bremen, Germany. Luca Scibetta will present the work-in-progress paper "Dialogues with Digital Wisdom: Can LLMs Help Us Put Down the Phone?" on Wednesday, 4 September at 10:00 (WiP 1).
Il progetto Erasmus+ Critical Making, i cui partner includono il Politecnico di Torino e la Fondazione Links,
ed in cui la associazione Dschola è partner associato,
entra nella fase operativa e lancia il suo corso per aiutare i docenti a combattere la disinformazione in ambito scientifico
attraverso la progettazione didattica e l'integrazione delle tecnologie.
Il corso si svolgerà all'interno del laboratorio specificatamente attrezzato al Politecnico di Torino nei mesi di ottobre e novembre, dove si sperimenterà in pratica come integrare nella propria disciplina tecnologie hardware e software (robot, stampanti 3D, videogiochi, audio/video) con il duplice obiettivo di aumentare le competenze digitali degli studenti e combattere la loro disinformazione in ambito scientifico.
In questo percorso sarai accompagnatə nello sviluppo di un progetto didattico e farai parte di un ambiente di apprendi- mento composto da te, altri docenti, ricercatori, facilitatori e vari strumenti da esplorare, che potrai utilizzare come “materiale da costruzione” per realizzare il tuo progetto.
Le iscrizioni sono aperte fino al 30 settembre: i posti sono limitati, affrettarsi a prenotarsi per non perdere questa bella opportunità.
We are excited to announce the publication of our latest research paper in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. The study, titled "Enhancing smart home interaction through multimodal command disambiguation," and conducted by me and Luigi De Russis, explores an innovative approach to making smart homes more intuitive and responsive to user commands.
On July 15 and 16, the partners of the AccessCoVE project met for the 2nd plenary meeting of the project (following the kick-off meeting in Thessaloniki in September 2023, and many on-line meetings).
The partners were hosted for two very dense days in the Ciminiera Meeting Room at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering, in Politecnico di Torino. The partners revised the different Workpackages and pending activities, and planned a significant number of activities for the next Autumn.
On June 26, I presented the work "Empowering Users: End User Development for Mobile Applications Privacy Management" at the first International Workshop on Trusted Computing and Artificial Intelligence applied to Cybersecurity, held in Paris.
Smartphones have become integral to everyday life, offering numerous benefits but also raising significant privacy and security concerns. Users often face challenges managing app permissions and protecting personal data due to the complexity of existing smartphone operating system settings. Our research addresses these issues by introducing Privacy Manager, a mobile application designed for Android devices that employs an End-User Development (EUD) approach.
On June 2024, 2024, Luigi De Russis joined (online) the closing and awards ceremony at the Intelligent Environments (IE) 2024 conference to receive the Most Influential Paper Award for the 2018 paper entitled "'Hey Siri, do you understand me?': Virtual Assistants and Dysarthria".
On June 4-7, 2024, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2024) in Arenzano, Italy.
The group will organize a workshop entitled "Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2024)" in the morning of Tuesday, 4 June as part of a PRIN 2022 research project. Luigi De Russis, Alberto Monge Roffarello, Luca Scibetta e Massimiliano Pellegrino will join the workshop (and the entire conference).
Massimiliano Pellegrino will present the short paper "Digital Wellbeing Lens: Design Interfaces That Respect User Attention" on Friday, 7 June at 12:00 (session: Design).
