Bagdanov, and Alessandro Piva Uncovering the authorship: Linking media content to social user profiles by Daniele Baracchi, Dasara Shullani, Massimo Iuliani, Damiano Giani, and Alessandro Piva The first accepted paper is the result of a fruitful collaboration with Simone Magistri and Prof.

Dr. Daniele Baracchi and Dr. Dasara Shullani participated in the 49th International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing in Seoul. They showcased their research during the poster session on Multimedia Forensics and Cybersecurity, as well as through an oral presentation in the Multimedia Forensics track. The conference featured a wealth of intriguing research ideas, with notable keynotes by Prof. Daniel D. Lee on Geometry and Latent Signal Representations in Machine Learning, and Prof.

We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest paper in IEEE Access, a product of our strong collaboration with colleagues from the University of Trento as part of the UNCHAINED project. 📚 Accepted Paper Toward Open-World Multimedia Forensics Through Media Signature Encoding by Daniele Baracchi, Giulia Boato, Francesco de Natale, Massimo Iuliani, Andrea Montibeller, Cecilia Pasquini, Alessandro Piva, and Dasara Shullani About the authors Daniele Baracchi, Dasara Shullani, and Massimo Iuliani are postdoctoral researchers in the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Florence.

Chiara Albisani and Giulia Bertazzini participated in the Machine Learning Summer School at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. Throughout the program, they delved into advanced machine learning techniques presented by leading industry experts. Highlights included remarkable lessons on Large Language Models by Prof. Tatsunori Hashimoto and Natural Language Processing by Prof. Diyi Yang. They also had the opportunity to showcase their research through a poster session, engaging in stimulating discussions with peers and experts.

Yoshihisa Furushita eagerly attended the 9th International Congress on Information and Communication Technology in London, where he gave an oral presentation on his research, “Double Compression Detection of HEIF Images Using Coding Ghosts”. This was the inaugural presentation for Yoshihisa, who was able to use the occasion to meet researchers from all over the world. About the author Yoshihisa is a third-year doctoral candidate in the PhD Program in Information Engineering of the University of Florence.

We are thrilled to announce a seminar as part of the upcoming Sarò Matricola event, dedicated to prospective freshmen of the School of Engineering. Dr. Daniele Baracchi will deliver a talk titled “L’apparenza inganna: a caccia di immagini e video falsi con tecniche di multimedia forensics” (“Appearance deceives: hunting down fake images and videos with multimedia forensics techniques”). The seminar will showcase the techniques of multimedia forensics that can be employed to discern the authenticity of images and videos.
