Abstract
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence has led to significant advancements in image classification, with novel approaches emerging beyond traditional deep learning paradigms. This paper presents a comparative analysis of three distinct methodologies for image classification: classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) and KAN-based CNNs and Quantum Machine Learning using Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks. The study evaluates these models on the Labeled Faces in the Wild dataset, implementing the different classifiers with existing, well-assessed technologies. Given the fundamental differences in computational paradigms, performance assessment extends beyond traditional accuracy metrics to include computational efficiency, interpretability, and, for quantum models, gate depth and noise. As a summary of the results, the proposed Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) model achieves an accuracy of 75% on the target images classification task, indicating promising performance within current quantum computational limits. All the experiments strongly suggest that Convolutional Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (CKANs) exhibit increased accuracy as image resolution decreases, QCNN performance meaningfully changes in relation to noise level, while CNNs still keeping strong discriminative capabilities. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026. - DetailsMarulli, F., Campanile, L., Marrone, S., & Verde, L.

Abstract
Conventional modern Machine Learning (ML) applications involve training models in the cloud and then transferring them back to the edge, especially in an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled environment. However, privacy-related limitations on data transfer from the edge to the cloud raise challenges: among various solutions, Federated Learning (FL) could satisfy privacy related concerns and accommodate power and energy issues of edge devices. This paper proposes a novel approach that combines FL and Ensemble Learning (EL) to improve both security and privacy challenges. The presented methodology introduces an extra layer, the Federation Layer, to enhance security. It uses Bayesian Networks (BNs) to dynamically filter untrusted/unsecure federation clients. This approach presents a solution for increasing the security and robustness of FL systems, considering also privacy and performance aspects. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. - DetailsCampanile, L., Di Bonito, L.

Abstract
Monitoring of non-linear phenomena, such as pollution dynamics, which is the result of several combined factors and the evolution of environmental conditions, greatly benefits by AI tools; a larger benefit derives by the application of explainable solutions, which are capable of providing elements to understand those dynamics for better informed decisions. In this paper we discuss a case with real data in which a posteriori explanations have been produced after the application of ensemble models. © ECMS Daniel Grzonka, Natalia Rylko, Grazyna Suchacka, Vladimir Mityushev (Editors) 2024. - DetailsCampanile, L., Marrone, S., Marulli, F., & Verde, L.

Abstract
Currently, research in Artificial Intelligence, both in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, paves the way for promising innovations in several areas. In healthcare, especially, where large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data are transferred to support studies and early diagnosis and monitoring of any diseases, potential security and privacy issues cannot be underestimated. Federated learning is an approach where privacy issues related to sensitive data management can be significantly reduced, due to the possibility to train algorithms without exchanging data. The main idea behind this approach is that learning models can be trained in a distributed way, where multiple devices or servers with decentralized data samples can provide their contributions without having to exchange their local data. Recent studies provided evidence that prototypes trained by adopting Federated Learning strategies are able to achieve reliable performance, thus by generating robust models without sharing data and, consequently, limiting the impact on security and privacy. This work propose a literature overview of Federated Learning approaches and systems, focusing on its application for healthcare. The main challenges, implications, issues and potentials of this approach in the healthcare are outlined. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a solution aiming to improve the accuracy of the surface temperature detection in an outdoor environment. The temperature sensing subsystem relies on Mobotix thermal camera without the black body, the automatic compensation subsystem relies on Raspberry Pi with Node-RED and TensorFlow 2.x. The final results showed that it is possible to automatically calibrate the camera using machine learning and that it is possible to use thermal imaging cameras even in critical conditions such as outdoors. Future development is to improve performance using computer vision techniques to rule out irrelevant measurements. © 2021 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
