In this paper, we analytically study the performance of two topologies of high-speed rail (HSR) networks: isolated-corridors and grid networks. We evaluate how HSR configuration affects capacity of newly developed infrastructure, profits and social welfare by considering a number of factors, namely...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) progresses at an unpredictable rate, but predictions on the disease course in each patient would be extremely useful to tailor therapy to the individual needs. We explore different machine learning (ML) approaches to predict whether a patient will shift from the initial...

Deep feedforward neural networks’ (DFNNs) weight estimation relies on the solution of a very large nonconvex optimization problem that may have many local (no global) minimizers, saddle points and large plateaus. Furthermore, the time needed to find good solutions of the training problem heavily...

According to the European University Association, nowadays financial sustainability is one of the key challenges for Higher Education Institutions. The financial sustainability of public universities is threatened by cutbacks in public funding and by society's growing demand for improvements to the...

We consider a class of optimistic bilevel problems. Specifically, we address bilevel problems in which at the lower level the objective function is fully convex and the feasible set does not depend on the upper level variables.We show that this nontrivial class of mathematical programs is...

The arising of new technologies ranging from smartphones to social networks is constantly increasing interactions between people. In the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) community, adapting technology to human nature is the key concern of User-Centered Design (UCD). However, UCD...

Ontologies are an important resource for knowledge representation. Their structure can be complex due to role relations between several concepts, distinct attributes, and different instances. In this paper, we discuss a Visual Analytics solution, relying on the use of multiple coordinated views for...
