ABSTRACT: ASIP Department of Communication System Division is pleased to invite you to the course entitled “Compressed Sensing: Introduction to Theory and Practical Algorithms”. Compressed Sensing studies the compression and recovery of sparse signals with a reduced number of measurements. Efficient algorithms for reconstruction exists, such as the L1 minimization, many applications in signal processing [...]

The Official Association of Telecommunication Engineers of Catalonia (COETC – Col·legi Oficial d’Enginyers de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya) organizes the commemoration of the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, on next Thursday, May 17th, 2018. The event will take place at the Tolouse Business auditorium (C/ Trafalgar, 10; Barcelona) from 17h until 19h. The CTTC takes [...]

ABSTRACT: Photonics will be crucial for the next industrial revolution as it will be the core technology for faster and cheaper devices that will offer an improved performance. In the next years, new products related to healthcare, telecom and datacom, and environmental will impact our daily life allowing amazing functionalities and increasing our quality of [...]

ABSTRACT: This talk will summarize the main results achieved during the execution of the project: 3D printed multiplexers for wireless communications. Multiplexers are designed using only resonators and made using additive manufacturing techniques; the designs are successfully fabricated and characterized in the laboratory. The talk will recap the diverse designs, fabrication techniques used to create [...]

ABSTRACT: Many baby animals play to understand the world. From this evidence, some psychologists and pedagogists have proposed “gamification” as a technique for better learning… With inconclusive results. Here, Prof. Figueiras proposes a different perspective: To learn from (consciously) playing different kinds of (singular and collective, mainly) games, and even to learn from players. Playing [...]

ABSTRACT: Imbalanced classification problems are those in which populations and (mis)classification costs are very different. They are pervasive and important in many real-world application fields, from Health to Security, including Economy, Industry, Business, and Social Media, to cite just a few. Unfortunately, the powerful discriminative machines seriously fail when applied to these problems –just as [...]

ABSTRACT: Mobile networks provide support to a variety of communication-based services that are steadily changing our lives. However, they are also pervasive infrastructures that can be used in unconventional ways unrelated to communication. Specifically, mobile networks can be seen as large-scale remote sensing platform capable of providing fine-grained information about a large (and increasing) fraction [...]
