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 two-stage approach for the spatio-temporal analysis of high-throughput phenotyping data
(2022-02-24)High throughput phenotyping (HTP) platforms and devices are increasingly used for the characterization of growth and developmental processes for large sets of plant genotypes. Such HTP data require challenging statistical ... -
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 ... -
Modeling latent spatio-temporal disease incidence using penalized composite link models
(2022-03-10)Epidemiological data are frequently recorded at coarse spatio-temporal resolutions to protect confidential information or to summarize it in a compact manner. However, the detailed patterns followed by the source data, ... -
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 ... -
PyDDRBG: A Python framework for benchmarking and evaluating static and dynamic multimodal optimization methods
(2022-01-01)PyDDRBG is a Python framework for generating tunable test problems for static and dynamic multimodal optimization. It allows for quick and simple generation of a set of predefined problems for non-experienced users, as ... -
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 ... -
