I’m thrilled to announce that I’m co-organizing the 2024 International Conference on Information Fusion!
Join us in the enchanting city of Venice from July 7th to July 11th for a week of innovative discussions, networking, and breathtaking scenery!
Fusion 2020 Special Sessions!
This year the International Conference on Information Fusion
(www.fusion2020.org) was a completely virtual conference.
(www.fusion2020.org) was a completely virtual conference.
Congrats to the organizers for successfully switching to the new format!
This year I have co-organized three Special Sessions:
– Context-based Information Fusion
– Explainable AI for Information Fusion
– Intelligence for Situation Understanding and Sense-making
Very interesting discussions! Thanks to all the authors and participants!
Newly proposed this year was the tutorial “Context-enhanced Information Fusion” and I would like to thank Dr. Erik Blasch for co-organizing it and sharing the (virtual) stage with me.
And of course many thanks to my colleagues of the NATO IST-165 RTG on “High-level Fusion of Hard and Soft Information for Intelligence” for the work on the paper “Challenges in automated HUMINT processing for situational assessment”
But probably the most exciting work this year was the collaboration with Dr. Andrea Salfinger on the paper “Towards Neural Situation Evolution Modeling” which applies RNNs and ideas from NLP for the prediction of evolving situations.
My research project is mentioned at the inauguration ceremony of academic year 2017-18
My ONR-G research project is mentioned at the inauguration of the academic year 2017-18 (see 23:50).
Present in the room President of Italy Sergio Mattarella.

NATO LECTURE SERIES IST-155
NATO LECTURE SERIES IST-155
ADVANCED ALGORITHMS FOR EFFECTIVELY FUSING
HARD AND SOFT INFORMATION
I participated as lecturer in the NATO LECTURE SERIES IST-155 from September 26th to October 6th 2016 at the following locations:
- NATO CMRE (La Spezia)
- University of Delft (NL)
- University of Linköping (Svezia)
- Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, Porton Down (UK)
Context-Enhanced Information Fusion book is out!
I co-edited the book “Context-Enhanced Information Fusion” just published by Springer:
Overview:
This text reviews the fundamental theory and latest methods for including contextual information in fusion process design and implementation. Chapters are contributed by the foremost international experts, spanning numerous developments and applications. The book highlights high- and low-level information fusion problems, performance evaluation under highly demanding conditions, and design principles. A particular focus is placed on approaches that integrate research from different communities, emphasizing the benefit of combining different techniques to overcome the limitations of a single perspective. Features: introduces the terminology and core elements in information fusion and context; presents key themes for context-enhanced information fusion; discusses design issues in developing context-aware fusion systems; provides mathematical grounds for modeling the contextual influences in representative fusion problems; describes the fusion of hard and soft data; reviews a diverse range of applications.
Tutorial at CogSIMA 2016!
#2 most downloaded Information Fusion paper (in the past 90 days)
Today I checked the Information Fusion journal page and realized that my Context-based Information Fusion: A survey and discussion paper has received some attention. Thanks for your interest!
Fusion 2015 Special Sessions!!
I am co-organizing a couple of Special Sessions at the 18th International Conference on Information Fusion (Fusion 2015), Washington, D.C., July 6-9 2015. Current paper submission deadline (EXTENDED!): March 15th
- Multi-Level Fusion: bridging the gap between high and low level fusion
- Context-based Information Fusion
Slides seminari Dr. Little
Le slide dei seminari “Designing and Building Semantic Technologies for Cloud-based Applications” tenuti dal Dr. Little saranno disponibili a breve.Gli studenti del corso di Sistemi Multimediali Intelligenti troveranno le slide fra il materiale del corso.
Chi avesse seguito i seminari (firmando i fogli presenze) non essendo studente del corso può farne richiesta al sottoscritto via email e provvederò all’invio non appena mi saranno fornite dal Dr. Little.
