Il “nodo” irrisolto della dirigenza a trent’anni dalla c.d. privatizzazione del pubblico impiego

Majoration-Minimization for Sparse SVMs

Several decades ago, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were introduced for performing binary classification tasks, under a supervised framework. Nowadays, they often outperform other supervised methods and remain one of the most popular approaches in the machine learning arena. In this work, we investigate the training of SVMs through a smooth sparse-promoting-regularized squared hinge loss minimization. This choice paves the way to the application of quick training methods built on majorization...

Un nouveau marché de la soie? La régulation d’un système informel dans l’Italie du XIXe siècle

Silk was an essential strategic sector of the Italian economy in the 19th century that stimulated the emergence of financial brokers, made entrepreneurs willing to take risks, fostered entrepreneurial attitudes, and provided work outside agriculture: a series of “external economies for further industrial development”. Between 1860 and 1890 about 10 million kg of raw silk were processed in Europe per year, four tenths of which were supplied by Europe itself and the remaining six tenths from As...

Neutrophilic dermatoses and joint disorders

Inflammatory joint disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis are chronic systemic diseases with an immune-mediated pathogenesis. They may be associated with neutrophilic dermatoses, particularly pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet’s syndrome and hidradenitis suppurativa [1–3].
