Oggetto specifico di questo progetto di ricerca è la geografia medievale e umanistica (secc. VI-XV), vale a dire i testi latini che includono descrizioni geografiche individuabili nello spazio letterario del Medioevo e dell'Umanesimo europeo. L'immagine del mondo che la Civiltà medievale ha fissato nell'arco di dieci secoli si rivela fondamentale per comprendere il grado di conoscenza geografica e l'evoluzione del pensiero occidentale nella storia europea. L'ampio arco temporale del Medioevo esibisce una produzione eterogenea. Le opere e gli excursus che descrivono paesi, terre e città appartengono a diversi generi letterari: descrizioni universali dell'Ecumene, relazioni e diari di viaggio, itineraria, trattati corografici e topografici. Il progetto intende offrire un'indagine completa di queste opere geografiche; classificare autori, generi e contenuti; censire la tradizione manoscritta, le edizioni e la bibliografia di ogni opera; fornire edizioni critiche di alcuni testi rappresentativi; stilare un indice toponomastico mediolatino; sviluppare l'ontologia e gli strumenti informatici per realizzare un Portale Web (I.M.A.G.O. = Index Medii Aevi Geographiae Operum).

A general framework for distributed approximate similarity search with arbitrary distances
2024-09-26
While many similarity search algorithms are specifically adapted to metric distances,they are unsuitable for alternatives like the cosine distance, which has gained popularity, particularly with embeddings and text mining. To address thisissue, we propose GDASC (General Distri...
In this talk, I will focus on a connection between stable-failures refinement and the ioco conformance relation. Both behavioural relations underlie methodologies that have gained traction in industry: stable-failures refinement is used in several commercial Model-Driven Engin...
Explainability in deep learning models applied to spatio-temporal problems
2024-09-13
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming society, affecting everything from industry to decision making, and concerns about its transparency have increased. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is crucial to address this problem, allowing to obtain a better understand...

The emergence of 5G technology marks a significant milestone in developing telecommunication networks, enabling exciting new applications such as augmented reality and self-driving vehicles. However, these improvements bring an increased management complexity and a special con...
Cargo Cult Architecture: An Empirical Investigation into the Maintainability Benefits of Design Patterns
2024-05-24
There have been many claims for the benefits of using patterns in software design and implementation. In this research we were interested to understand whether adopting patterns positively affects a project's long-term maintainability, as measured by its feature velocity and ...
Software developers utilize a wide range of features in their integrated development environments, such as text search, documentation views, or inline hints in the editor. Many of these features traditionally operate only on static representations of programs, i.e., their sour...
