Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Un’altra visione delle cose: note sulla satira nel Risorgimento
Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea, 2012 The paper draws a historical portrait of literary satire in Italy from 1830 up to the achievement of Italian unification. Through four paragraphs, I will discuss Carlo Bini’s gloomy reinterpretation of Sterne’s style; Giacomo Leopardi’s Neapolitan ...
Marco Viscardi (1978) si è addottorato in Filologia Moderna nel 2009 (Università degli Studi di Napoli “Federico II”) discutendo una tesi sulle lezioni dantesche di F. A. Ozanam (1813-1852); attualmente borsista presso l’Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici, lavora ad una monografia su satira ed umorismo in Italia fra 1816 e 1861. Cultore della materia presso le cattedre di Storia della Critica Letteraria e Letteratura Italiana II, titolare il prof. Giovanni Maffei, si è occupato di romanzo storico fra Otto e Novecento e di storiografia letteraria, e ha pubblicato interventi su Tomasi di Lampedusa, Manganelli e Giuseppe Giusti.
