AIGO is a recently born research unit focusing on activities related to 
the analysis and understanding of images, videos and patterns in 
general, also in collaboration with other research groups at IIT.
AIGO main focus is the learning with imperfect data, meaning in 
unsupervised, semi-supervised and self-supervised scenarios, noisy 
labeling, biased data and imbalanced classes.
AIGO staff has a wide expertise in computer vision and pattern 
recognition, machine and deep learning, image processing, and related 
applications, especially, but not limited to, of biomedical/biological 
nature. Multimodal and generative learning are other keywords 
characterizing AIGO activities.
For more information, you can also browse prof. Murino webpage, to see 
his activities and research.
