A promising approach to overcome the various shortcomings of password systems is the use of biometric authentication, in particular the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) data. In this paper, we propose a subject-independent learning method for EEG-ba...
Given the grid features of digital images, a direct relation with cellular automata can be established with transition rules based on information of the cells in the grid. This document presents the modeling of an algorithm based on cellular automata...
This paper directly addresses a long-standing issue that affects the development of many complex distributed software systems: how to establish quickly, cheaply, and reliably whether they can deliver their intended performance before expending signif...
Deep learning models yield remarkable results in skin lesions analysis. However, these models require considerable amounts of data, while accessibility to the images with annotated skin lesions is often limited, and the classes are often imbalanced....
This article addresses the problem of optimal phase-swapping in asymmetric distribution grids through the application of hurricane-based optimization algorithm (HOA). The exact mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is solved by using a ma...
Historical texts are one of the main pillars for understanding current civilization and are used to reference different aspects. Hadiths are an example of one of the historical texts that should be securely preserved. Due to the expansion of the onli...
The rise of the new generation of cyber threats demands more sophisticated and intelligent cyber defense solutions equipped with autonomous agents capable of learning to make decisions without the knowledge of human experts. Several reinforcement lea...
One of the great challenges for football coaches is to choose the football line-up that gives more guarantees of success. Even though there are several dimensions to analyse the problem, such as the opposing team characteristics. The objective of thi...
Data security is the science of protecting data in information technology, including authentication, data encryption, data decryption, data recovery, and user protection. To protect data from unauthorized disclosure and modification, a secure algorit...
Optimizing traffic signal control (TSC) at intersections continues to pose a challenging problem, particularly for large-scale traffic networks. It has been shown in past research that it is feasible to optimize the operations of individual TSC syste...
Among various factors contributing to performance of named data networking (NDN), the organization of caching is a key factor and has benefited from intense studies by the networking research community. The performed studies aimed at (1) finding the...
Video games have become one of the predominant forms of entertainment in our society, but they have also impacted many other of its social and cultural aspects [...]
The descriptive concepts of “semantic” taxonomies are assigned to content items of the publishing domain for supporting a plethora of operations, mostly regarding the organization and discoverability of the content, as well as for recomme...
Voice loss constitutes a crucial disorder which is highly associated with social isolation. The use of multimodal information sources, such as, audiovisual information, is crucial since it can lead to the development of straightforward personalized w...
Cybersecurity is an ever-changing landscape. The threats of the future are hard to predict and even harder to prepare for. This paper presents work designed to prepare for the cybersecurity landscape of tomorrow by creating a key support capability f...
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been described as a “next development of networked learning”, and they have the potential to mediate sensory learning. To understand this phenomenon, the present systematic review examines the rese...
Acne vulgaris is the common form of acne that primarily affects adolescents, characterised by an eruption of inflammatory and/or non-inflammatory skin lesions. Accurate evaluation and severity grading of acne play a significant role in precise treatm...
Collaborative Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) use peer tutor assessment to give feedback to students in solving problems. Through this feedback, the students reflect on their thinking and try to improve it when they get similar questions. The acc...
