Overview

Machine Learning is a set of methods and techniques for constructing software systems automatically by analyzing only examples of the desired behaviour.
You do not write a program. You only provide examples of what you want. The program will be synthesized automatically.
In our lab we focus on engineering applications: have a look to our publications to know more about specific research topics.

The lab

The Machine Learning Lab is directed by prof. Alberto Bartoli, assisted by prof. Eric Medvet, and hosts PostDocs, PhD students and MS students: check the opportunities. Read also our blog to know more about lab life.

The lab is located at Department of Engineering and Architecture (DIA), University of Trieste (room 1259, 2nd floor, building C3).

Automatic Generation of Regular Expression: version 1.1

12-12-2012 – We have slightly improved our automatic generator of regular expressions—a few internal optimizations, a few more computing resources and better load balancing. We describe below how the system works—very informally and very briefly. Then, we will list... – More

Fraudulent pages in web sites of Italian Administrations

27-11-2012 – Attacks to web sites resulting in the creation of fraudulent content by hackers are ubiquitous. In this work we attempted to assess the ability of Italian public administrations to be in full control of the respective web sites. We examined several thousands... – More
