Animarium: an open, reproducible pipeline for synthetic populations of Italian cities, from ISTAT sources to open data (Tech Report v1)
Mirko Degli Esposti
Synthetic populations of eleven Italian municipalities (1,814,317 individuals in 887,937 households) generated from published aggregates alone: ISTAT census and register tables, ce…
Watershed vs. Region Growing for Individual Tree Segmentation from Airborne LiDAR: An Urban Case Study in Bologna
Aldo Canfora, Tommaso Rondini, Matteo Falcioni +1
We present a LiDAR-based pipeline for the segmentation and structural characterisation of tall urban vegetation in Bologna. Starting from airborne LiDAR point clouds previously cla…
Calibrating the Instrument: Controllability of an LLM-Driven Synthetic Population
Mirko Degli Esposti
Generative Synthetic Populations (GSP) -- the convergence of population synthesis, agent-based modelling, and LLM agents -- are attracting growing interest for urban simulation and…
Scalable Maximum Entropy Population Synthesis via Persistent Contrastive Divergence
Mirko Degli Esposti
Maximum entropy (MaxEnt) modelling provides a principled framework for generating synthetic populations from aggregate census data, without access to individual-level microdata. Th…
A Zipf-preserving, long-range correlated surrogate for written language and other symbolic sequences
Marcelo A. Montemurro, Mirko Degli Esposti
Symbolic sequences such as written language and genomic DNA display characteristic frequency distributions and long-range correlations extending over many symbols. In language, thi…
An Automatic Deep Learning Approach for Trailer Generation through Large Language Models
Roberto Balestri, Pasquale Cascarano, Mirko Degli Esposti +1
Trailers are short promotional videos designed to provide audiences with a glimpse of a movie. The process of creating a trailer typically involves selecting key scenes, dialogues…
