Dino Pedreschi is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Pisa, and a pioneering scientist in mobility data mining, social network mining and privacy-preserving data mining. He co-leads with Fosca Giannotti the Pisa KDD Lab - Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Laboratory, a joint research initiative of the University of Pisa and the Information Science and Technology Institute of the Italian National Research Council, one of the earliest research lab centered on data mining. His research focus is on big data analytics and mining and their impact on society.

Fosca Giannotti is a senior researcher at the Information Science and Technology Institute of the National Research Council at Pisa, Italy, where she leads the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Laboratory – KDD LAB – a joint research initiative with the University of Pisa, founded in 1995, one of the earliest European research groups specifically targeted at data mining and knowledge discovery.

Dr. Claudio Lucchese is a researcher with the I.S.T.I. “A. Faedo” – C.N.R. since 2007. Prior to joining C.N.R., he received his MS.c. and Ph.D. from the Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia in 2003 and 2008, respectively. His main research activities are in the areas of data mining techniques for information retrieval, large-scale data processing and cloud computing.

Anna Monreale is an assistant professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of Pisa and a member of the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Laboratory (KDD-Lab), a joint research group with the Information Science and Technology Institute of the National Research Council in Pisa. She has been a visiting student at Department of Computer Science of the Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NewJersey, USA) (2010).

He is a Researcher at the Institute for Informatics and Telematics of CNR. His work focuses on mobile networks and Online and Mobile Social Networks, with emphasis on the study of human social structures in Online Social Networks through the analysis of data on interaction between users. He is co-author of over 100 publications in journals and international conferences, and has received several awards, including four Best Paper Awards at international conferences.

Andrea has master in computer science and a phd in information engineering. Since 2011 is a researched at Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione "A. Faedo", which is part of the National Research Council (CNR). His research is in Human Language Technologies area, with a focus on Text Classification, Information Extraction and Sentiment Analysis.

Lorenzo Gabrielli was born in 1984 in Italy. He graduated in Business Informatics in 2010 at the University of Pisa. He discussed his thesis on Mobility Data Analysis: “A Case Study of the Milan area”. Currently he is a Research Fellow at ISTI-CNR as member of Knowledge Discovery and Delivery Laboratory.

Research Assistant at the University of Pisa, where he got a Master's Degree and Ph.D. in Computer Science. He is part of the Advanced Algorithms and Applications (Acube Lab) research group. He had collaborations with Google, NEC and the University of Munich. His research interests span across Natural Language Understanding, the semantic representation of text, Information Retrieval and Information Extraction, plus anything in between.

Born in Marsciano(PG), 4th november 1983. Actually i'm a Phd Student in Computer Science at the graduate studies school "G. Galilei" of Pisa. My main interests in researching are about mobility mining and location prediction. In 2006 I got my bachelor degree in Computer Science at university of Perugia, with thesis on "Parallels and distributed algorithms for resolution of propagation equations". In 2009 I got my master degree in Computer Science at university of Pisa, with thesis on "Map matching of gsm tracks with data mining technique"

Alessandro Baroni was born in 1984 in Italy, and holds a Master Degree in Business Informatics (Computer Science). He is currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science. His current research interests are in data mining and particularly in social science.
