Research Area:

          *Machine learning techniques for cognitive dynamic
          systems: application of the Bayesian approach to radio and
          video domains*

The proposed PhD involves the study of machine learning techniques
with a Bayesian approach: the goal of the PhD is to develop novel
learning techniques and apply them to possibly two different domains.
On one side, bio-inspired learning approaches can be applied to
cognitive radio networks thus allowing adaptive methods for analysis
and decision to evolve under specific environmental operating
conditions. Focus will be on Bayesian methods and game theory
approach for modelling dynamic strategies for opportunistic spectrum
access.

Moreover, a Bayesian approach can be applied for learning from video
data: signals acquired from both static surveillance cameras and
egocentric vision sensors can be analysed for characterizing
behaviours of both single users and complex active entities (e.g.
crowds).

Activities will be oriented to address the use of developed methods
within bio-inspired cognitive artificial systems for physical
security and telecommunications.

Possibility will be open during the PhD to join on going funded
research projects when available within the joint labs ISIP40 has
with industries (e.g Technoaware, Telecom, ligurian industrial
district SIIT).
