Rank aggregation for non-stationary data streams
(2022)The problem of learning over non-stationary ranking streams arises naturally, particularly in recommender systems. The rankings represent the preferences of a population, and the non-stationarity means that the distribution ... -
A Deep Learning Approach for Generating Soft Range Information from RF Data
(2022-01-24)Radio frequency (RF)-based techniques are widely adopted for indoor localization despite the challenges in extracting sufficient information from measurements. Soft range information (SRI) offers a promising alternative ... -
Time Series Classifier Recommendation by a Meta-Learning Approach
(2022-03-26)This work addresses time series classifier recommendation for the first time in the literature by considering several recommendation forms or meta-targets: classifier accuracies, complete ranking, top-M ranking, best set ... -
Analysis of Dominant Classes in Universal Adversarial Perturbations
(2022)The reasons why Deep Neural Networks are susceptible to being fooled by adversarial examples remains an open discussion. Indeed, many differ- ent strategies can be employed to efficiently generate adversarial attacks, some ... -
Generalized Maximum Entropy for Supervised Classification
(2022-04)The maximum entropy principle advocates to evaluate events’ probabilities using a distribution that maximizes entropy among those that satisfy certain expectations’ constraints. Such principle can be generalized for ... -
K-means for Evolving Data Streams
(2021-01-01)Nowadays, streaming data analysis has become a relevant area of research in machine learning. Most of the data streams available are unlabeled, and thus it is necessary to develop specific clustering techniques that take ... -
Derivation of a Cost-Sensitive COVID-19 Mortality Risk Indicator Using a Multistart Framework
(2022-01-14)The overall global death rate for COVID-19 patients has escalated to 2.13% after more than a year of worldwide spread. Despite strong research on the infection pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms involved in a fatal ... -
A Semi-Supervised Learning Approach for Ranging Error Mitigation Based on UWB Waveform
(2021-12-30)Localization systems based on ultra-wide band (UWB) measurements can have unsatisfactory performance in harsh environments due to the presence of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) errors. Learning-based methods for error ... -
Deep GEM-based network for weakly supervised UWB ranging error mitigation
(2021-12-30)Ultra-wideband (UWB)-based techniques, while becoming mainstream approaches for high-accurate positioning, tend to be challenged by ranging bias in harsh environments. The emerging learning-based methods for error ... -
