VeniceWHO WE AREAt IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.
Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer stations based in the US, for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
OUR TEAMYou will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where computational scientists (Machine Learning, Computer Vision, image processing, big data and high-performance computing), material engineers, chemists, physicists, digital humanists and archaeologists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
he Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT) in Venice is coordinated by Dr Arianna Traviglia, who has extensive experience in mediating the inclusion of technology within the study and protection of Cultural Heritage.
Research at CCHT focuses on promoting cutting-edge technologies and approaches for the analysis and preservation of Cultural Heritage.
This includes ML/CV-based approaches to discover and monitor archaeological sites, digitize heritage objects using automated approaches and automatically transcribe ancient texts.
t the Centre, you will be working in the framework of EC Horizon Europe RITHMS project ().
RITHMS intends to support Police and Customs/Border Authorities in addressing the illicit trafficking of cultural goods through multidisciplinary research, technological innovation, outreach and training.
The project will develop a digital platform able to identify criminal organized networks using information available on the internet and other open sources of information and applying approaches derived from Social Network Analysis (SNA).
s a team member, your main responsibilities will be to support and contribute to the development of the Knowledge Graph deriving from the datasets implemented during the project, develop NLP-based data cleaning approaches, and design and implement Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) or other Machine Learning models for link prediction to reconstruct illicit networks of actors dealing with cultural heritage items.
