The Portuguese Large Wildfire Spread database (PT-FireSprd)

Wildfire behaviour depends on complex interactions between fuels, topography, and weather over a wide range of scales, being important for fire research and management applications. To allow for significant progress towards better fire management, the operational and research communities require detailed open data on observed wildfire behaviour. Here, we present the Portuguese Large Wildfire Spread database (PT...

A predictive and user-centric approach to Machine Learning in data streaming sc...

Machine Learning has emerged in the last years as the main solution to many of nowadays' data-based decision problems. However, while new and more powerful algorithms and the increasing availability of computational resources contributed to a widespread use of Machine Learning, significant challenges still remain. Two of the most significant nowadays are the need to explain a model's predictions, and the signif...

Evaluation of a low-cost COTS bio radar for vital signs monitoring

With the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a need for the Health Care Workers (HCW) to pay more attention to the vital signs of their patients. One way for this to happen, while respecting the social distance, is using contactless technologies, e.g. the bio radar. This way, the HCW will be able to monitor the respiration and heart rates of the patient, without getting close to him. For this to be po...

Textile rectenna for RF energy harvesting

Wearable devices are part of many people’s lives, however the batteries they need are a major limitation. In order to solve this problem, an energy harvesting system was studied and implemented, to replace the battery usage and thus enhance the device portability. It is composed by two antennas, one for transmitting and the other for receiving, and a rectifier circuit. The system was completely developed in tex...

Explainable intelligent environments

The main focus of an Intelligent environment, as with other applications of Artificial Intelligence, is generally on the provision of good decisions towards the management of the environment or the support of human decision-making processes. The quality of the system is often measured in terms of accuracy or other performance metrics, calculated on labeled data. Other equally important aspects are usually disre...

The lasting smell of emotions: The effects of reutilizing fear sweat samples

A growing body of research has shown that human apocrine sweat carries information about the emotional state of its donor. Exposure to sweat produced in a fear-inducing context triggers in its receivers a simulacrum of this emotional state, as evidenced by increased medial frontalis and corrugator supercilii (facial electromyography; fEMG) activity - two facial muscles involved in the display of fear facial exp...
