The application should contain: - a motivation letter demonstrating motivation, academic strengths and related experience to this position. - CV including publication list - at least two major publications in pdf - minimum 2 reference letters Project abstract Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html

Corso Enrico Scalas presso UNISA
by Barbara Martinucci 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Università degli Studi di Salerno Dipartimento di Matematica Si rende noto che nel periodo 25 giugno - 12 luglio 2019 si terrà il corso di dottorato "From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: The consequences of time change". Le lezioni saranno tenute dal Prof. Enrico Scalas, Professor of Statistics & Probability, University of Sussex, UK (pagina web: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/330303) e si terranno nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica secondo il seguente calendario: - lezione 1 (2 ore): martedì 25 giugno, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 2 (3 ore): venerdì 28 giugno, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 3 (3 ore): martedì 2 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 4 (3 ore): giovedì 4 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 5 (2 ore): martedì 9 luglio, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 6 (3 ore): venerdì 12 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. I contenuti del corso sono riportati qui di seguito. Research context What happens if the discrete time at which innovations occur for a Markov chain is replaced by a counting process? If the counting process is the Poisson process, one still gets a Markov process. On the contrary, if the counting process is of renewal type, the resulting process is no longer Markovian: It becomes a semi-Markov process. Semi-Markov processes have infinite memory and are naturally related to non-local operators in time such as the so-called Caputo derivative that appears when the expected values of inter-event times diverge. For this reason, there has been a surge of interest on these processes in recent years. Syllabus: 1. From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: General framework (2 hours) 1.1 From the Poisson process to the fractional Poisson process 1.2 Time change and its consequences 2. Example 1: Continuous-time random walks (CTRWs) and applications (8 hours) 2.1 The diffusion equation and the normal compound Poisson process 2.2 The space-time fractional diffusion equation and CTRWs 2.3 Some applications 3. Example 2: Semi-Markov graph dynamics (6 hours) Pre-requisites The course will be accessible to first year PhD students (Corso di Dottorato in Matematica, Fisica e Applicazioni). In fact, the main pre-requisites are: 1. An introductory course in probability and statistics. 2. Fourier and Laplace transforms. Learning objectives After following this course, the students should be able: 1. To read and understand the recent literature on semi-Markov process 2. To perform calculations on continuous-time random walks and other semi-Markov processes using elementary probabilistic methods Essential references: - Scalas, Enrico (2017) Continuous-time statistics and generalized relaxation equations.
