Automatic Parameter Tuning for Big Data Pipelines

Big data frameworks generally constitute a pipeline, each having a different role. This makes tuning big data pipelines an important yet difficult task given the size of the search space. We propose to use a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to tune a fraud detection big data pipeline.

Multimodal Classifier For Space Target Recognition

We propose a multi-modal framework to tackle the SPARK Challenge by classifying satellites using RGB and depth images. Our framework is mainly based on Auto-Encoders to embed the two modalities in a common latent space in order to exploit redundant and complementary information between the two types of data.

Policy-based Automated Compliance Checking

Under the GDPR requirements and privacy-by-design guidelines, access control for personal data should not be limited to a simple role-based scenario. For the processing to be compliant, additional attributes, such as the purpose of processing or legal basis, should be verified against an established data processing agreement or policy.

DAEMA: Denoising Autoencoder with Mask Attention

Missing data is a recurrent and challenging problem, especially when using machine learning algorithms for real-world applications. For this reason, missing data imputation has become an active research area, in which recent deep learning approaches have achieved state-of-the-art results. We propose DAEMA: Denoising Autoencoder with Mask Attention.

Estimating Expected Calibration Errors

Uncertainty in probabilistic classifiers predictions is a key concern when models are used to support human decision making, in broader probabilistic pipelines or when sensitive automatic decisions have to be taken.
Studies have shown that most models are not intrinsically well calibrated, meaning that their decision scores are not consistent.
