— Mirko Polato, PhD (@makgyver17) 14 febbraio 2019
I am a Post-Doc at the University of Padova in the Department of Mathematics. I got my PhD in Brain, Mind and Computer Science in 2018 with a thesis entitled: "Definition and learning of logic-based kernels for categorical data, and application to collaborative filtering" under the supervision of the Prof. Fabio Aiolli. In 2017, I have been a visiting PhD student at Delft University of Technology in the Multimedia Computing group, under the supervision of the Prof. Martha Larson.
My research focuses on the representation problem, i.e., how to represent knowledge, in particular in recommendation contexts. Besides this main interest, my research ranges over several other topics in which machine learning is involved. In particular, my main research topics are:@article{Shahrokhabadi:2019, title = "Learning with subsampled kernel-based methods: Environmental and financial applications", journal = "Dolomites Research Notes on Approximation", volume = "12", pages = "2035 - 6803", year = "2019", issn = "2035-6803", author = "M.
