MetroXRaine 2024

These days, our group participated in the IEEE MetroXRaine 2024 conference (https://www.metroxraine.org/).
In particular, during the Poster Session in these early days, we presented innovative research such as:

– Efficient Atrophy Mapping: A Single-Step U-Net Approach for Rapid Brain Change Estimation. Authors: Riccardo Raciti, Alessia Rondinella, Lemuel Puglisi, Francesco Guarnera, Daniele Ravi, Sebastiano Battiato;
– SynthBA: Reliable Brain Age Estimation Across Multiple MRI Sequences and Resolutions. Authors: Lemuel Puglisi, Alessia Rondinella, Ermelinda De Meo, Francesco Guarnera, Sebastiano Battiato, Daniele Ravi.
– Acoustic Side Channel Attack for Keystroke Splitting in the Wild. Authors: Massimo Orazio Spata, Valerio Maria Russo, Alessandro Ortis and Sebastiano Battiato.
– A Novel Pipeline Based on Attention Mechanism Within a GNN to Predict New Edges Between Diseases and Genes. Authors: Massimo Orazio Spata, Sabrina Conoci, Alessandro Ortis, Sebastiano Battiato.

and other papers presented in the Oral session:
– Enhancing Crime Scene Investigations Through Virtual Reality and Deep Learning Techniques. Authors: Antonino Zappalà, Luca Guarnera, Vincenzo Rinaldi, Salvatore Livatino, Sebastiano Battiato
– Neural Optimization for Pharmaceutical Transportation Under Stressful Conditions. Authors: Georgia Fargetta, Alessandro Ortis, Sebastiano Battiato

We are also involved as chairs of special sessions accepted at this conference:
– Session 4.2 – Artificial Intelligence, Biometrics and Extended Reality for Criminal Investigation and Digital Forensic. Chairs: Milena Martarelli, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italy, Luca Guarnera, University of Catania, Italy
– Session 5.1 – Artificial Intelligence and Generative Models for Health. Chairs: Francesco Guarnera, University of Catania, Italy, Daniele Ravi, University of Hertfordshire, University College London, UK.

Finally, tomorrow, during the Poster Session, Alessio Chisari will present the results of the Cloud Detection Challenge (https://www.metroxraine.org/cloud-detection-challenge) organized by Alessio ChisariSebastiano BattiatoLuca GuarneraAlessandro Ortis, Wladimiro Carlo Patatu, Mario Valerio Giuffrida.

Our participation in the IEEE MetroXRaine 2024 is the result of an extensive network of multidisciplinary collaborations, involving researchers and practitioners from various universities and institutions.
