    Analysis and visualization of social user communities

    In this paper, a novel framework for social user clustering is proposed. Given a current controversial political topic, the Louvain Modularity algorithm is used to detect communities of users sharing the same political preferences. The political alignment of a set of users is labeled manually by a human expert and then the quality of the community detection is evaluated against this gold standard. In the last section, we propose a novel force-directed graph algorithm to generate a visual representation of the detected communities. 

    Hybridizing metric learning and case-based reasoning for adaptable clickbait detection.

    [EN]The term clickbait is usually used to name web contents which are specifically designed to maximize advertisement monetization, often at the expense of quality and exactitude. The rapid proliferation of this type of content has motivated researchers to develop automatic detection methods, to effectively block clickbaits in different application domains. In this paper, we introduce a novel clickbait detection method. Our approach leverages state-of-the-art techniques from the fields of deep learning and metric learning, integrating them into the Case-Based Reasoning methodology. This provides the model with the ability to learn-over-time, adapting to different users’ criteria. Our experimental results also evidence that the proposed approach outperforms previous clickbait detection methods by a large margin

    Monitoring and analysis of vital signs of a patient through a multi-agent application system

    In the medical environment, the clinical study of the most basic vital signs of a patient represents the simplest and most effective way to detect and monitor health problems. There are many diseases that can be diagnosed and controlled through regular monitoring of these medical data. The purpose of this study is to develop a monitoring and tracking system for the various vital signs of a patient. In particular, this work focuses on the design of a multi-agent architecture composed of virtual organizations with capabilities to integrate different medical sensors on an open, low-cost hardware platform. This system integrates hardware and software elements needed for the routine measurement of vital signs, performed by the patient or caregiver without having to go to a medical center

    [EN]Throughout the last years, great improvements have been made in the automotive industry, a sector with a high impact in both economics and social environments. Many development efforts have targeted on satisfying the need of providing smart environments to the end user in vehicles, such as cars. This paper proposes a brand-new solution in the automotive field, consisting of a new product family which aims to transform the traditional bicycle to an electric bicycle using an architecture that provides an adaptive environment to the user, improving the driving experience enabling value-added services

    Twitter User Clustering Based on Their Preferences and the Louvain Algorithm

    Get PDF
    In this paper, a novel agent-based platform for Twitter user clustering is proposed. We describe how our system tracks the activity for a given topic in the social network and how to detect communities of users with similar political preferences by means of the Louvain Modularity. The quality of this clustering method is evaluated against a subset of human-labeled user profiles. Finally, we propose combining community detection with a force-directed graph algorithm to produce a visual representation of the political communities

    Internet upswing has entailed a structural change for journalism in general and the press in particular. The emergence of a new horizontal, low cost and accessible space for communication, has brought profound changes in journalism, both on the production and distribution. In this paper, we present a novel agent-based social platform which aims to improve the organization, management and distribution of the media contents through the application of artificial intelligence techniques
