Most Smart Cities data come from multiple related sensors. Within this context, multivariate Automated Time Series Forecasting (AutoTSF) tools are valuable for providing predictive analytics for citizens and city rulers. In this paper, we benchmark seven multivariate open-source AutoTSF tools (AutoARIMAX, AutoGluon, FlaML, AutoTS, MFEDOT and HyperTS) and one univariate AutoTSF tool (FEDOT), measuring both their...
The main goal was to explore the needs experiences by parents and professionals, who "take care" or who accompany children with complex and intense support needs.
In this chapter, we point out some notes about the quality of life, the educative system in Portugal and a training program "mediators to inclusion".
In this chapter, we propose a conceptual definition of good practice and criteria for good practice in supporting inclusion and activities.
Background: Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) may threaten ecosystems and human health [1]. Animal models using earthworms as environmental bioindicators have been proposed [2], but they must be practical and cheaper [3]. Objective: We test if machine learning models of earthworm image classification can be used to identify GBH-exposed environments. Methods: 144 adults Eisenia andrei earthworms were divided int...
Emotion recognition has become increasingly important in the field of Deep Learning (DL) and computer vision due to its broad applicability by using human–computer interaction (HCI) in areas such as psychology, healthcare, and entertainment. In this paper, we conduct a systematic review of facial and pose emotion recognition using DL and computer vision, analyzing and evaluating 77 papers from different sources...
Introduction: People during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplantation find themselves in a high degree of physical and psychological vulnerability, which could cause additional problems for their health status.
