Si trova attualmente in Italia, per tenere un ciclo di seminari presso alcune Università, la prof.ssa Sushmita Mitra della Machine Intelligence Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
L’iniziativa è organizzata attraverso il programma “Distinghished Lecturer Program” dell’IEEE CIS, ovvero della sezione Italiana della Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) dell’Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
La prof. Mitra terrà seminari a Salerno, Reggio Calabria, Genova e Milano Bicocca.
Il secondo seminario, intitolato:
“Hybridization with Rough Sets: Application to Bioinformatics and Biomedical Imagery”
si svolgerà il prossimo venerdì 3 luglio alle 11 presso i Dipartimenti DICEAM & DIIES di Ingegneria dell’Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria (ex Aula del Consiglio di Ingengeria).
L'evento si svolge nell'ambito delle attività del corso di dottorato in Ingegneria dell'Informazione ed è organizzato dal prof. Carlo Morabito.
Abstract del Seminario:
1: Hybridization with Rough Sets: Application to Bioinformatics and Biomedical Imagery
Rough set theory is an established tool for dealing with imprecision, noise, and uncertainty in data. It provides an important and mathematically established tool for dimensionality reduction in large data. A lot of research has been undertaken, over the last decade, for integrating rough sets into the broader framework of computational intelligence.
In this talk we provide an overview of such hybridization, along with some applications. We begin with a brief introduction to rough sets, followed by some of their hybridization with fuzzy sets and genetic algorithms, in tasks involving dimensionality reduction and clustering. Experimental results demonstrate their effectiveness in diverse domains like microarray gene expressions, face recognition, and CT scan images.
