The Florence Center for Data Science hosts a dissemination feature consisting in brief interviews with our D2 Seminar speakers. We are asking few questions to the experts to explain what their research is about, this format can be seen as an extended version of the Q&A session.
Our goal is to promote a public understanding of science and to reach the readers who may be interested in knowing more about the different fields in which data are involved.
Andrea Barucci is researcher at the “Nello Carrara” Institute of Applied Physics CNR – IFAC and our fellow. He was our guest at the D2 Seminar series, presenting his work on “Exploring Egyptian Hieroglyphs with Convolutional Neural Networks”.
Andrea Mercatanti is professor at the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome. He was our guest at the D2 Seminar series, presenting his work on “A Regression Discontinuity Design for ordinal running variables: evaluating Central Bank purchases of corporate bonds. (Joint work with F. Li, T. Makinen, A. Silvestrini).
