Abstract
Quantum Computing is becoming a central point of discussion in both academic and industrial communities. Quantum Machine Learning is one of the most promising subfields of this technology, in particular for image classification. In this paper, the model of Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks and some related implementations are explored in their potential for a non-trivial task of image classification. The paper presents some experimentations and discusses the limitations and the strengths of these approaches when compared with classical Convolutional Neural Networks. Furthermore, an analysis of the impact of the noise level on the quality of the classification task has been performed. This paper reports a substantial equivalence of the perfomance of the model with respect the level of noise.

An AI-Driven Methodology for Patent Evaluation in the IoT Sector: Assessing Relevance and Future Impact [Conference paper]. International Conference on Internet of Things, Big Data and Security, IoTBDS - Proceedings, 501–508. https://doi.org/10.5220/0013519700003944
Abstract
The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things has led to a surge in patent filings, creating challenges in evaluating their relevance and potential impact. Traditional patent assessment methods, relying on manual review and keyword-based searches, are increasingly inadequate for analyzing the complexity of emerging IoT technologies. In this paper, we propose an AI-driven methodology for patent evaluation that leverages Large Language Models and machine learning techniques to assess patent relevance and estimate future impact. Our framework integrates advanced Natural Language Processing techniques with structured patent metadata to establish a systematic approach to patent analysis. The methodology consists of three key components: (1) feature extraction from patent text using LLM embeddings and conventional NLP methods, (2) relevance classification and clustering to identify emerging technological trends, and (3) an initial formulation of impact estimation based on semantic similarity and citation patterns. While this study focuses primarily on defining the methodology, we include a minimal validation on a sample dataset to illustrate its feasibility and potential. The proposed approach lays the groundwork for a scalable, automated patent evaluation system, with future research directions aimed at refining impact prediction models and expanding empirical validation.

Abstract
The growing diffusion of smart pervasive applications is starting to mine personal privacy: from Internet of Things to Machine Learning, the opportunities for privacy loss are many. As for other concerns involving people and goods as financial, safety and security, researchers and practitioners have defined in time different risk assessment procedures to have repeatable and accurate ways of detecting, quantifying and managing the (possible) source of privacy loss. This paper defines a methodology to deal with privacy risk assessment, overcoming the traditional dichotomy between qualitative (easy to apply) and quantitative (accurate) approaches. The present paper introduces an approach based on fuzzy logic, able to conjugate the benefits of both techniques. The feasibility of the proposed methodology is demonstrated using a healthcare case study. © 2024 IEEE. - DetailsCampanile, L., Di Bonito, L. P., Natale, F. D., & Iacono, M. (2024).

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., Di Bonito, L.

Abstract
Modern environmental regulations require rigorous optimization of operations in process engineering to reduce waste, pollution, and risks while maximizing efficiency. However, the nature of chemical plants, which include components with non-linear behavior, challenges the use of consolidated tuning and control techniques. Instead, ad-hoc, self-adapting, and time-variant controls, with a balanced tuning of parameters at both the subsystem and system level, may be necessary. Needed computing processes may require significant resources and high performance systems, if managed by means of traditional approaches and with exact solution methods. In this regard, domain experts suggest instead the use of integrated techniques based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), which include Explainable AI (XAI) and Trustworthy AI (TAI), which are unique in this industry and still in the early stages of development. To pave the way for a real-time, cost-effective solution for this problem, this paper proposes an AI-based approach to model the performance of a real chemical plant, i.e. a marine scrubber installed on a Ro-Ro ship. The study aims to investigate Machine Learning (ML) techniques which can be used to model such processes. Notably, this analysis is the first of its kind, at the best of the authors’ knowledge. Overall, the study highlights the potential of using ML-based techniques, to optimize environmental compliance in the shipping industry. © ECMS Enrico Vicario, Romeo Bandinelli, Virginia Fani, Michele Mastroianni (Editors) 2023. - 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.

Applying Machine Learning to Weather and Pollution Data Analysis for a Better Management of Local Areas: The Case of Napoli, Italy [Conference paper].

Abstract
Local pollution is a problem that affects urban areas and has effects on the quality of life and on health conditions. In order to not develop strict measures and to better manage territories, the national authorities have applied a vast range of predictive models. Actually, the application of machine learning has been studied in the last decades in various cases with various declination to simplify this problem. In this paper, we apply a regression-based analysis technique to a dataset containing official historical local pollution and weather data to look for criteria that allow forecasting critical conditions. The methods was applied to the case study of Napoli, Italy, where the local environmental protection agency manages a set of fixed monitoring stations where both chemical and meteorological data are recorded. The joining of the two raw dataset was overcome by the use of a maximum inclusion strategy as performing the joining action with”outer” mode. Among the four different regression models applied, namely the Linear Regression Model calculated with Ordinary Least Square (LN-OLS), the Ridge regression Model (Ridge), the Lasso Model (Lasso) and Supervised Nearest Neighbors Regression (KNN), the Ridge regression model was found to better perform with an R2 (Coefficient of Determination) value equal to 0.77 and low value for both MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and MSE (Mean Squared Error), equal to 0.12 and 0.04 respectively. © 2021 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda. - DetailsCampanile, L., Marulli, F., Mastroianni, M., Palmiero, G., & Sanghez, C.

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.
