Welcome
My name is Massimiliano Ruocco. I am a Ph.D student at the Department of Computer and Information Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) under the supervision of the Associate Professor Heri Ramampiaro.I have obtained my Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Science at University of Verona. My degree thesis was developed in the Technologies of Vision Research Unit Team (TEV) at FBK - Fondazione Bruno Kessler research center in Trento under the supervision of the senior researcher Dr. Roberto Brunelli (Tev - FBK) and Associate Professor Andrea Fusiello (University of Verona).
Research
My research is focused on Social Media retrieval, Web Mining, and Information Retrieval. Therefore i am interested in the application of Data Mining Technique and Statistical Machine Learning on that field.Project
I am involved in the CAIM project
(Context-Aware Image Retrieval and Management). The CAIM project will
focus on research and the development of tools for context-aware image
management, where image description, query formulation, retrieval from
heterogeneous distributed environments, and ranking are designed for
using context information. Important application domains are those
requiring image capture and multimodal retrieval in mobile environments.Links

ranking of world universities
The Webometrics ranking has a larger coverage than other similar rankings (see table below). The ranking is not only focused on research results but also in other indicators which may reflect better the global quality of the scholar and research institutions worldwide. - Microsoft
