Short bio

I received the MSc in Mathematics ('00) and a Ph.D in Computer Science ('05) from the University of Trento, and the Habilitation to Full Professor (in Italy, ASN16 09/H1).

I am a Researcher at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy since 2005, tenured since 2008. My research has been mainly in the field of people tracking, audio-visual tracking, pose estimation and group detection with application to monitoring and behavior analysis. From 2012 to end of 2015 I have been Head of Computer Vision Research Unit Technologies of Vision at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler. In 2016 I have been launching an innovation project in a home automation SME. 

My main research interests are currently in deep learning with structured output prediction applied to video classification and tracking. I hold a number of international patents on video tracking.

    FBK-HUPBA Submission to the EPIC-Kitchens 2019 Action Recognition Challenge,
    In this report we describe the technical details of our submission to the EPIC-Kitchens 2019 action recognition challenge. To participate in the challenge we have developed a number of CNN-LSTA [3] and HF-TSN [2] variants, and submitted predictions from an ensemble compiled out of these two model families. Our submission, visible on the public leaderboard with team name FBK-HUPBA, achieved a top-1 action recognition accuracy of 35.54% on S1 setting, and 20.25% on S2 setting.,
