data-driven learning problems, i.e. in time series analysis, hyperdimensional computing and eXplainable AI,
considering the different real-world domains related to energy, aerospace, Earth observation, behavioral analysis,
bioengineering, finance, security, fraud detection and so on.

The main objective of the course is to enable students to develop hybrid and innovative systems mainly based on

management of complex networks (smart grids, energy and goods distribution, biological and sociological networks,

etc.), the analysis of materials, the design of devices and circuits, automation and control systems, the inversion of
physical models and abstract organizational and decision-making models, telemedicine and so on.

quantum and hyperdimensional computing architectures will be taken into consideration, the student will integrate the
acquired knowledge to manage the complexity of inductive learning mechanisms and the real limits imposed by the
Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) quantum devices currently adopted, also and above all in function of the

emphasis will be given to the understanding of the use of symbolic and hyperdimensional computing (HDC/VSA) for
efficient data processing, highlighting how this approach can offer significant computational and interpretative advantages compared to traditional methods.

Quantum technologies and quantum algorithms for information processing are rapidly evolving, considering the current
scenario based on short-term devices and hybrid quantum-classical approaches. Similarly, hyperdimensional and
(neuro)symbolic computing is establishing itself as a relevant paradigm for numerous applications with a high innovative
and technological coefficient. At the end of the course, the student will be able to communicate the knowledge acquired
to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors in the research and work fields in which he/she will carry out the subsequent
scientific and/or professional activity, also taking into account technological and sustainable development issues.

of single-subject tasks, in a vertical manner on some specific theoretical and applicative topics using, for instance,
quantum resources available in the cloud such as IBM's Quantum Experience Platform, as well as quantum simulators
such as Qiskit, Pennylane and Flax in a Python environment, in addition to specific development frameworks for HDC

Devising new machine learning methods and statistical models is a fun and extremely fruitful “art”. But these powerful tools are not useful unless we understand when they work, and when they fail. The main goal of statistical learning theory is thus to study, in a
statistical framework, the properties of learning algorithms mainly in the form of so-called error bounds.
This course introduces the techniques that are used to obtain such results, combining methodology with theoretical foundations and computational aspects. It treats both the basic principles to design successful learning algorithms and the “science” of analyzing an algorithm’s statistical properties and performance guarantees.
Theorems are presented together with practical aspects of methodology and intuition to help students develop tools for selecting appropriate methods and approaches to problems in their own data analyses.
Methods for a wide variety of applied problems will be explored and implemented on open-source software like R (www.r-project.org), Keras (https://keras.io/) and TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org/).

(neuro)symbolic computing is establishing itself as a relevant paradigm for numerous applications with a high innovative
and technological coefficient. At the end of the course, the student will be able to communicate the knowledge acquired
to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors in the research and work fields in which he/she will carry out the subsequent
scientific and/or professional activity, also taking into account technological and sustainable development issues.

The adopted teaching methodology includes an autonomous and self-managed study activity during the development
of single-subject tasks, in a vertical manner on some specific theoretical and applicative topics using, for instance,
quantum resources available in the cloud such as IBM's Quantum Experience Platform, as well as quantum simulators
such as Qiskit, Pennylane and Flax in a Python environment, in addition to specific development frameworks for HDC
(TorchHD), all for the creation of machine learning systems applied to Industrial and Information Engineering
problems in the management, electrical, mechanical, logistics, biomedical fields and for the training of professional
and business skills capable of relating in the technical-scientific context of data analytics and business intelligence.

###################

Major advances in technology have resulted in the widespread implementation of information systems into businesses and organizations.

This course introduces languages, principles and methods of process modeling, analysis and innovation as critical factors to the
overall success of a business.

The course centers around the role of conceptual (sometimes referred as business) process modeling as a means to understand and capture the
workflows of interest in information systems of various kind. Students will learn the elements of process models and their precise meaning
using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) international standard.

The course will cover processes within organizations (process orchestrations) and also interacting processes involving several organizations
(process choreographies), and will look at techniques to analyze and improve such processes from a formal perspective.

The course will also provide a basic knowledge and understanding of how to design, test and implement information systems for executable processes.

Finally, the course will present methods and tools to properly use process mining techniques, which enable to discover process models (whose structure
is unknown at the outset) starting from the logs recording the concrete events executed by the real workflows.
