Quando si partecipa a delle conference scientifiche, spesso capita che sessioni con argomenti simili siano programmate alla stessa ora, portando quindi a dover scegliere quale seguire e a rinunciare alle altre. Recentemente, per ovviare a questo problema e stato proposto un algoritmo che utilizza la Latent Dirichlet allo ` - cation per ottimizzare l’allocazione delle sessioni negli slot. I risultati ottenuti sul programma della Joint Statistical Meetings 2020, che prevedeva piu di 40 sessioni ` in parallelo, sono stati molto interessanti. In questo lavoro investighiamo l’effettiva adattabilita ed efficacia di questo algoritmo anche per i programmi delle conferenze ` di media dimensione come quello della SIS.

Abstract
When participating in scientific conferences, often it happens that sessions with similar topics are scheduled at the same time, thus leading to having to choose which one to follow and giving up the others. Recently, to overcome this problem, an algorithm has been proposed that uses Latent Dirichlet allocation to optimize the allocation of sessions in slots. The results obtained on the Joint Statistical Meetings 2020 program, which concerned more than 40 parallel sessions, have been very interesting. In this paper, we investigate the actual adaptability and effectiveness of this algorithm also for medium-sized conference programs such as that of the SIS.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
