Is there any student interested in a master thesis on the following subject and cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU: https://www.ebu.ch/home)

Dear students, who is interested can apply to this opportunity: https://buildyourfuture.withgoogle.com/scholarships/generation-google-scholarship-apac

and keep me informed on the outcome 😉

Dear students, I'd like to invite you to "Festival della Robotica" that will take place in Pisa the next weekend, at Leopolda and Arsenali Repubblicani, with many expositions and talks. In particular, I point out the event that will start at 9:00 of saturday and will end at 17:00 at Arsenali Repubblicani, on the topic about Digital Helth, an important applicative field for us as Computer Scientists: https://roboticafestival.it/robotica-dispositivi-e-intelligenza-artificiale-per-la-riabilitazione-e-lassistenza/

Dear students, I've available a project for a Master Thesis on the subject of compressing a massive collection of files within the context of a PNRR project, aiming for sizes that go from few TBs to 1 PT. If interested please write me an email, and attach your CV.

Dear students, the book I announced in class few months ago is out by Cambridge University Press: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/pearls-of-algorithm-engineering/95061352D7263CCCBD4F243018236EB2. Advertise it, and please limit the distribution of pirated (digital) copies, not just because of my royalties (which are really negligible, and nowadays you do not write such books for them!), but because a large official distribution is the best recognition of the big work that is behind every book, it is an advertisement for our Alma Mater #UniPI, and ultimately of the algorithmic research pursued @Pisa 😉

Dear students, my group has a well established collaboration with the Software Heritage Archive (INRIA, Paris): https://www.softwareheritage.org/. The project is to design a compressed storage system for their huge collection of source code. We have a preliminary solution but much has to be done, yet. If interested for a master thesis, or for a collaboration (with fellowship), please write me with a copy of your CV.

La Fondazione Lazzareschi ha bandito tre borse di studio per studenti della laurea magistrale che nel loro corso di studio abbiano affrontato (in esami, tesi) le tematiche della intelligenza artificiale o sostenibilità o produzione cartaria. Ogni borsa di studio è di 5000 euro ma non è cumulabile con altre borse.

University of Pisa (Italy): 12-months research position
***********************************************

The department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa (https://di.unipi.it/ https://di.unipi.it/) has opened a call for a position on "Parallel and I/O-efficient compression and indexing techniques for the Software Heritage Archive".

The ACubeLab (http://acube.di.unipi.it/ http://acube.di.unipi.it/) invites expressions of interest for a position with a duration of 12 months (call by 2024).

Admission requirement: hold a PhD or a Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent (to be obtained by the interview’s date). The ideal candidate should be familiar with the following topics: Algorithms, Data Structures, Programming, Data Compression.

Scientific Topics: The AcubeLab is working on the design and implementation of a compressed storage and indexing solution for the Software Heritage Archive (https://www.softwareheritage.org/ https://www.softwareheritage.org/), which is an ambitious initiative launched in 2015 by INRIA (Paris), in agreement with UNESCO, and assembling a group of prestigious supporters and committed sponsors including, among the others, Microsoft, Intel, Google, VMWare, GitHub, Societe Generale, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Its main objective is to collect, preserve, and share software in source code form. At the time of writing, SWH is the largest archive of source code in the world with more than 17 billion source files, coming from more than 250 million projects. This project is also part of our effort in the ICSC (Centro Nazionale di Ricerca in High-Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing) funded by PNRR. The postdoc, involved in the project, will thus have the opportunity to collaborate with an international environment.

For details and application procedure, please visit the web site: https://bandi.unipi.it/public/Bandi/Detail/a1c63365-bf11-4ac7-ab06-55cc6cb7b038

Dear students, I strongly suggest you to participate to the Festival of Robotics" that, as every year, will happen in Pisa the next weekend, starting from friday 24 (afternoon). Deatils can be found in this page: https://roboticafestival.it/

Dear students, I point out the following national hack: https://neodata-hackatania.devpost.com/. Keep me informed if anyone of you will participate. Best!

Annuncio di lavoro SpinOff UniPI

Siete invitati all'evento inaugurale della laurea magistrale in digital Health

Car* student* e dottor*,

vi contatto per chiedervi se foste interessat* ad un colloquio con l'azienda Sadas (https://www.sadas.com/). Sadas ha una storia ventennale di Data warehousing, con un database colonnare proprietario, utilizzato diffusamente in Italia soprattutto in realtà bancarie e finanziarie di primo piano.

Da alcuni anni Sadas sta incrementando le unità di personale informatico con skill elevati nell’ambito dell’AI e nello sviluppo di sistemi di data storage e analytics.

In particolare, negli ultimi anni, il mio gruppo di ricerca ha collaborato con Sadas su vari progetti, tra i più recenti segnalo la realizzazione di un GraphDB e di un motore di inferenza basato su AI-RAG e Knowledge Graph.

Oltre alle sedi di Napoli e Milano, Sadas ha da poco aperto degli uffici in centro a Pisa (presso le Officine Garibaldi, https://officinegaribaldi.it/) e sta selezionando candidat* per tesi di laurea magistrale o neolaureat* da inserire nella unità che si occupa dei due temi su descritti.

Se interessat* (a tesi magistrali o assunzione), scrivetemi allegando il vostro CV. Nelle prossime settimane è prevista una sessione di interviste (prima virtuali e poi in presenza).

Un caro saluto.

Buon pomeriggio,

vi contatto per informarvi che offro opportunità di tesi magistrali e borse di ricerca di importo "interessante" sui temi della compressione e del progetto di motori di ricerca di nuova generazione, in particolare sul codice sorgente e in collaborazione con il Software Heritage Archive (https://www.softwareheritage.org/). La ricerca viene svolta congiuntamente con gruppi di ricerca francesi, e non solo, e quindi si prevedono eventualmente (ma non necessariamente) periodi all'estero.

Se interessat*, scrivetemi allegando il vostro CV.

Un caro saluto.

Dear students, you are invited to the sport analytics session at the Festival Robotics&AI that will take place next saturday 10 may, at 10:00, in Arsenali Repubblicani -Pisa. Details here: https://roboticafestival.it/robotica-e-sport-2025/
