 +**Abstract**:
 +This research focuses on designing an automated system to assess the quality of GitHub repositories based on a predefined quality model. The proposed approach evaluates repositories using a range of metrics, including commit history and its associated metadata (such as size, timestamps, and descriptions), code coverage, pull request review duration, issue resolution time, the number of open issues, code churn, and code complexity.
 +In addition, the system may incorporate further quality indicators, potentially drawing on established frameworks such as ISO/IEC 25010:2011, to provide a more comprehensive and standardized evaluation.

 +**Title**: Formal Grammar Transducers in medical image analysis and segmentation correction
 +
 +**Abstract**:
 +Syntactic Pattern Recognition is data analysis approach stemming from formal grammars, formal languages and syntax analyser development. It’s particularly effective in analysing structures, both those found in natural world and in human-made artifacts. To this day many studies used SPR methods in diagnosis of medical subjects, like hearing impairments in neonates or in commercial field, like for electricity consumption forecast.
 +Current PHD candidate’s research focuses on medical image analysis for patients with oligodendroglioma brain cancer. Goal of the endeavour is to support medics job in detecting and contouring cancer changes in brain. The glioma images acquired by MRI means are 2d scans. The segmentation would therefore benefit from a method that would correct it to represent a coherent 3d structure.

 +
 +**Title**: Beyond Heatmaps: Explaining Time Series with Post-hoc Attribution Rules and Counterfactuals
 +
 +**Abstract**:
 +While complex machine learning models excel in time series classification, standard explanation methods often produce raw numeric feature attributions that fail to provide actionable insights for domain experts. To address this, I introduce PHAR (Post-hoc Attribution Rules), a method that transforms numeric attributions into structured, human-readable rules. By employing rule fusion, this approach localizes decision-relevant segments and expresses them as clear logical conditions directly on the raw series. To scale this logic from individual predictions to global model understanding, I present the Open-Box framework. Acting as an explainer-agnostic global surrogate, it aggregates local rules and resolves overlaps, allowing us to successfully extract tacit domain knowledge that experts might otherwise miss. Complementing these symbolic approaches, I also discuss a prototype-driven framework for generating sparse counterfactual explanations, which highlights the minimal, physiologically plausible signal modifications required to alter a prediction. By visually aligning logical conditions and prototypical examples with temporal patterns, this integrated ecosystem elevates time series explanations from simple scores to actionable knowledge, effectively bridging the gap between complex models and expert decision support.

 +
 +**Title**: What is and how to classify credibility of online health information?
 +
 +**Abstract**:
 +Misinformation in online health content poses a significant threat to public health. Despite years of effort, both the medical and Internet research communities continue to struggle to develop reliable methods for its identification and classification. Manual assessment by domain experts is accurate but prohibitively expensive and difficult to scale. At the same time, many automated approaches rely on overly simplistic assumptions. For example, the vast majority of computational studies use binary TRUE/FALSE labels and employ unstandardized annotation protocols, making experimental results difficult to reproduce.
 +In this seminar, I will present key challenges in the detection and classification of medical misinformation, illustrated with concrete examples and data. I will also propose practical countermeasures, including an annotation protocol focused on short text fragments that enables distributed and scalable data annotation while improving consistency and reproducibility.

 +
 +**Title**: Large Language Models and Empirical Legal Studies.
 +
 +**Abstract**:
 +The lecture examines the potential of large language models (LLMs) for empirical legal studies. Traditional empirical legal research has relied on labor-intensive annotation of legal texts to identify, e.g., legally relevant factors, thematic patterns, or other semantic categories. Recent experiments with LLMs demonstrate remarkable capabilities regarding zero- and few-shot semantic annotation of legal texts at levels approaching trained lawyers. However, significant challenges remain: model brittleness to prompt formatting, the need for subject-matter expert supervision, difficulties distinguishing fine-grained legal categories, and methodological questions around the appropriate integration of AI tools into qualitative research workflows. The lecture explores how the emerging capabilities might reshape empirical legal scholarship as well as the implications for legal education, research methodology, and the evolving relationship between human expertise and machine assistance in the study of law.

 +**Abstract**:
 +Calm-Data Generator is designed to produce realistic synthetic datasets exhibiting different types of concept drift, enabling controlled evaluation of machine-learning models in dynamic environments. The framework implements multiple drift mechanisms, supports tabular data with customizable complexity, and provides a flexible API for defining data-generation functions, experimental scenarios, and temporal transitions. Its primary goal is to facilitate reproducible experimentation in concept drift research, allowing researchers to benchmark methods, analyze performance degradation, and study model robustness under shifting data distributions. This presentation will introduce the simulator’s architecture, its main modules, practical use cases, and the types of experiments it enables for applied research.

 +**Title**: Localizing the invisible: Graph Neural Networks for Biomedical Signals.
 +
 +**Abstract**:
 +The respiratory system can be significantly affected by thoracic injuries, which may lead to complications such as lung dysfunction. Immediate diagnosis, along with the precise location of these injuries is crucial as it allows targeted medical interventions, reduces unnecessary treatments and accelerates patient recovery. Traditional diagnostic tools like X-rays and CT scans offer high resolution imaging but rely on radiation exposure and hospital visits, making continuous monitoring impractical.
 +This talk introduces a wearable sensor network coupled with Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGCNs) to detect and localize breathing abnormalities non-invasively and in real time. By modeling the thorax as a graph of 14 IMU-based sensor nodes, the system captures both spatial dependencies and temporal dynamics of chest movement. The proposed model pinpoints the exact location and severity of breathing irregularities, such as shallow or asymmetric breathing patterns while maintaining high interpretability through spatially grounded predictions.
 +The presentation will cover the underlying method, synthetic to real data strategy and the vision of a smart chest wearable system for continuous at home monitoring. Applications range from post-injury recovery and chronic disease management to early warning systems in preventive healthcare.

 +He has developed a temporal graph neural network framework to detect and localize respiratory abnormalities using chest-mounted IMU sensor networks. Beyond respiratory monitoring, his research spans spatio-temporal deep learning, health signal processing and interpretable machine learning methods aimed at bridging the gap between AI research and clinical practice.

 +**Title**: Knowledge Graphs and Polyvocality in Cultural Heritage and Beyond.
 +
 +**Abstract**:
 +Over the past decade, Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have emerged as one of the most promising technologies for organizing and exploring cultural heritage data. Within this domain, several international standards have been developed to enable interoperable modelling of library, archive, and museum resources, such as CIDOC-CRM and LRMoo. Alongside these standards, new conceptual and methodological trends—such as polyvocality representation—are reshaping how cultural narratives and multiple perspectives can be expressed, connected, and contextualized within KGs. In this talk, I will share insights from my experience developing and applying KGs in two cultural heritage–related projects: CHExRISH and LKG. I will also discuss ongoing and future work on polyvocality in and beyond cultural heritage domains.
