- Abstract
Il presente lavoro di tesi tratta dell’ottimizzazione algoritmica della spesa nel Performance Marketing. Tra i parametri su cui si può agire, bisogna decidere come suddividere un budget totale e impostare le puntate per le aste automatiche che decidono quali annunci vengono mostrati: questo problema è stato recentemente espresso nel formalismo dei banditi multi-braccio. Tuttavia, sono stati identificati diversi limiti nello stato dell’arte, che ostacolano l’applicazione pratica. Questa tesi si propone di affrontare questi limiti. Innanzitutto, le campagne Search Engine Marketing (SEM) presentano una struttura gerarchica: un budget giornaliero è assegnato a una campagna, ma le puntate possono essere regolate sui singoli annunci che formano la campagna. Questa libertà non viene sfruttata dallo stato dell’arte, che si limita a una puntata per campagna: l’algoritmo viene qui esteso a questa struttura gerarchica. Successivamente, facendo leva su conoscenza di dominio viene proposto un bandito contestuale, per ridurre di molto il costo dell’esplorazione a causa di una più alta efficienza nell’apprendimento. Questo tratto è particolarmente importante se si fa fronte alla non-stazionarietà scartando i dati più vecchi di una certa soglia. Inoltre, il modello è interpretabile, il che facilita l’elicitazione delle distribuzioni a priori Bayesiane sui parametri, e l’ottimizzazione può essere condotta con metodi locali, invece che globali. Per confrontare l’algoritmo proposto con lo stato dell’arte, è stato sviluppato un ambiente di simulazione ad hoc, sfruttando le caratteristiche note della principale piattaforma SEM. Estesi esperimenti numerici su dati sia sintetici che reali mostrano che, in media, il bandito parametrico proposto ottiene più conversioni dello stato dell’arte. L’aumento di prestazioni è particolarmente evidente nei casi in cui c’è maggior bisogno di ottimizzazione: budget scarso, molti ad group, pochi click o bassi tassi di conversione, mercati, The present work deals with the algorithmic optimisation of return on investment in digital Performance Marketing. Among the parameters that can be tuned, an advertiser must decide how to split the total allocated budget among campaigns and set the bids for the automated auctions that regulate appearance on web pages: this bid / budget selection problem has been recently cast as a Multi-armed Bandit problem. However, several shortcomings were identified in the state of the art, which limit practical applications. This dissertation is devoted to tackling these limitations. First, Search Engine Marketing (SEM) campaigns present a hierarchical structure: a daily budget is assigned to a campaign, but bids can be finetuned across the ads that make up the campaign. This freedom is not leveraged by the current state of the art, which focuses on deciding one bid per campaign: the algorithm is here extended to handle this hierarchical structure. Then, leveraging domain knowledge, a contextual bandit model is proposed to greatly reduce the cost of exploration by achieving high learning efficiency. This is especially important if a sliding window mechanism is used to deal with non-stationarity. Further, the model is interpretable, which eases elicitation of Bayesian prior distributions upon parameters, and it can be optimised via local, as opposed to global, methods. To compare the proposed algorithm to the state of the art, a simulation environment was built, exploiting what is disclosed about a major SEM platform. Extensive numerical experiments on both synthetic and real-world data show that, on average, the proposed parametric bandit gains more conversions than state-of-the-art bandits. Gains in performance are particularly high when an optimisation algorithm is needed the most (tight budget, many ad groups, few clicks or small conversion rate, rapidly changing markets or short time horizons). Since the proposed approach needs Markov chain Monte Carlo, a lightweight approx

Objective There is growing interest in the early identification of patients with axial PsA (axPsA). We aimed to evaluate whether a dermatology-based screening strategy could help to identify axPsA patients. Methods The dermatologist-centred screening (DCS) questionnaire was administrated by dermatologists to consecutive patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria [(i) age ≥18 years and (ii) clinical diagnosis of psoriasis made by a dermatologist] to identify patients eligible (affirmative answers 1–3c of the DCS) for rheumatological evaluation. Clinical, laboratory, genetic and imaging data were collected from all referred patients. Results Among the 365 patients screened, 265 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and 124/265 (46.8%) were eligible for rheumatological referral. Diagnosis of axPsA, with or without peripheral PsA (pPsA), was made in 36/124 (29.0%) patients; pPsA without axial involvement was found in 21/124 (16.9%) patients. Back pain at screening was recorded in 174 (66%) patients, with 158 (60%) reporting a back pain duration longer than 3 months and 140 (53%) reporting back pain onset before the age of 45 years. Active inflammatory and/or structural post-inflammatory changes in the sacroiliac joints and/or spine were observed in all axPsA patients. Patients with PsA showed a numerically longer duration of back pain and higher CRP levels in comparison with patients with psoriasis without PsA. Conclusion The DCS tool proved to be a valuable screening strategy for detecting and characterizing patients with axPsA in a real-life cohort of psoriasis patients in a dermatological setting and helped to identify a substantial number of patients affected by undiagnosed pPsA.

Part 1: The Internet of Things and WLANs; International audience; In Industry 4.0 scenarios, novel applications are enabled by the capability to gather large amount of data from pervasive sensors and to process them in order to devise the “digital twin” of a physical equipment. The heterogeneity of hardware sensors, communication protocols and data formats constitutes one of the main challenge toward the large-scale adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm on industrial environments. To this purpose, the W3C Web of Things (WoT) group is working on the definition of some reference standards intended to describe in a uniform way the software interfaces of IoT devices and services, and hence to achieve the full interoperability among different IoT components regardless of their implementation. At the same time, due also to the recent appearance of the WoT W3C draft, few testbed and real-world deployments of the W3C WoT architecture has been proposed so far in the literature. In this paper, we attempt to fill such gap by describing the realization of a WoT monitoring application of a generic indoor production site: the system is able to orchestrate the sensing operations from three heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We describe how the components of the W3C WoT architecture have been instantiated in our scenario. Moreover, we demonstrate the possibility to decouple the mash-up policies from the network functionalities, and we evaluate the overhead introduced by the WoT approach.

Background Rockfall events are one of the most dangerous phenomena that often cause several damages both to people and facilities. During recent years, the scientific community focused the attention at evaluating the effectiveness of seismological methods in monitoring these phenomena. In this work, we present a quick and practical method to locate the rebounds of some man-induced boulders falls from a landslides crown located in the Northern Apennines (Central Italy). The reconstruction of the trajectories was obtained by means of back analysis performed through a Matlab code that takes into account both the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) of the ground, the geotechnical-geophysical characteristics of the slope and the arrival times of the seismic signals generated by the rock impacts on the ground. Results The localization results have been compared with GPS coordinates of the points and videos footage acquired during the simulations, in order to assess the reliability of the method. In most cases, the retrieved impact points match with the real trajectories, showing a high reliability. Furthermore, four different cases have been identified as a function of the geomechanical, geophysical and morphological conditions. Due to the latter ones, in some case it was necessary to assume different values for the propagation velocity of the elastic waves in the ground, here assumed to be isotropic and homogeneous. Conclusions This work aims at evaluating the effectiveness of a quick and practical method to locate rockfall events using a small-aperture seismic network. The obtained results indicate that the technique can provide quantitative information about the area most prone to impact of detached blocks. The method still presents some uncertainty, but reducing some of the approximations (e.g. by better constraining the velocity model), it could lead to prompt and more accurate results, easily applicable to hazard estimates.
