    An overview of (selected) use-cases for {Machine,Deep} Learning in various scientific disciplines is presented. Peculiarities of - and similarities across - disciplines are explored. Possible cross-fertilisations and synergic approaches, as well as the value of training paths, is also discussed.

    We hear it almost every day but we barely recognize, it’s the noisy fan of our laptop. We feel it with our hands in the summer, it’s our mobile getting too hot. It’s the heat dissipated by electronics devices. Digital processing elements, the heart of our smartphone, laptop, workstation and supercomputers dissipate power for flipping bits of information, this power increases the temperature of...

    I introduce the basic concepts of unsupervised learning, highlighting the differences with supervised learning. The focus will be on three of the main tasks addressed by unsupervised learning: cluster analysis, anomaly detection and dimensional reduction. For each of them, I describe the problem in general terms, the ways to approach it, and some of the most popular algorithms to solve it.

    Medical Imaging techniques rely on different physical principles to obtain signals from the human body. Medical images are more than pictures, they are data, and they can be explored through image analysis techniques to go well beyond the mere visual inspection by radiologists. Image processing and data mining techniques are used to extract useful information from medical images to...
