abstract = {Medical imaging data coming from different acquisition modalities requires automatic tools to extract useful information and support clinicians in the formulation of accurate diagnoses. Geometric Calculus (GC) offers a powerful mathematical and computational model for the development of effective medical imaging algorithms. The practical use of GC-based methods in medical imaging requires fast and efficient implementations to meet real-time processing constraints as well as accuracy and robustness requirements. The purpose of this article is to present the state of the art of the GC-based techniques for medical image analysis and processing. The use of GC-based paradigms in Radiomics and Deep Learning, i.e. a comprehensive quantification of tumor phenotypes by applying a large number of quantitative image features and its classification, is also outlined.},

abstract = {What we appreciate in dance is the ability of people to spontaneously improvise new movements and choreographies, surrendering to the music rhythm, being inspired by the current perceptions and sensations and by previous experiences, deeply stored in their memory. Like other human abilities, this, of course, is challenging to reproduce in an artificial entity such as a robot. Recent generations of anthropomorphic robots, the so-called humanoids, however, exhibit more and more sophisticated skills and raised the interest in robotic communities to design and experiment systems devoted to automatic dance generation. In this work, we highlight the importance to model a computational creativity behavior in dancing robots to avoid a mere execution of preprogrammed dances. In particular, we exploit a deep learning approach that allows a robot to generate in real time new dancing movements according to to the listened music. textcopyright ICCC 2017.},

abstract = {The raising number of elderly people urges the research of systems able to monitor and support people inside their domestic environment. An automatic system capturing data about the position of a person in the house, through accelerometers and RGBd cameras can monitor the person activities and produce outputs associating the movements to a given tasks or predicting the set of activities that will be executes. We considered, for the task the classification of the activities a Deep Convolutional Neural Network. We compared two different deep network and analyzed their outputs. textcopyright 2016 IEEE.},
