  • Finding relevant information in big datasets with ML 

    Njoku, Uchechukwu Fortune; Abelló Gamazo, Alberto; Bilalli, Besim; Bontempi, Gianluca (OpenProceedings, 2024)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Due to the abundance of data, noisy, irrelevant, or redundant features often need to be identified and discarded. Feature selection is a collection of methods used to ensure that only relevant data are used for a data ...
  • Effect of color palettes in heatmaps perception: a study 

    Molina López, Elena; Middel Soria, Carolina; Vázquez Alcocer, Pere Pau (European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics), 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Heatmaps are a widely used technique in visualization. Unfortunately, they have not been investigated in depth and little is known about the best parameterizations so that they are properly interpreted. The effect of ...
  • Exploring the role of expected collision feedback in crowded virtual environments 

    Yun, Haoran; Pontón Martínez, José Luis; Beacco Porres, Alejandro; Andújar Gran, Carlos Antonio; Pelechano Gómez, Núria (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    An increasing number of virtual reality applications require environments that emulate real-world conditions. These environments often involve dynamic virtual humans showing realistic behaviors. Understanding user perception ...
  • A data-science pipeline to enable the interpretability of many-objective feature selection 

    Njoku, Uchechukwu Fortune; Abelló Gamazo, Alberto; Bilalli, Besim; Bontempi, Gianluca (CEUR-WS.org, 2024)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Many-Objective Feature Selection (MOFS) approaches use four or more objectives to determine the relevance of a subset of features in a supervised learning task. As a consequence, MOFS typically returns a large set of ...
  • Performance analysis of distributed GPU-accelerated task-based workflows 

    Nogueira Lobo de Carvalho, Marcos; Queralt Calafat, Anna; Romero Moral, Óscar; Simitsis, Alkis; Tatu, Cristian; Badia Sala, Rosa Maria (OpenProceedings, 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We present an empirical approach to identify the key factors affecting the execution performance of task-based workflows on a High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure composed of heterogeneous CPU-GPU clusters. Our ...
  • Do DL models and training environments have an impact on energy consumption? 

    Rey Juárez, Santiago del; Martínez Fernández, Silverio Juan; Cruz, Luís; Franch Gutiérrez, Javier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Current research in the computer vision field mainly focuses on improving Deep Learning (DL) correctness and inference time performance. However, there is still little work on the huge carbon footprint that has training ...
  • Adaptive task-oriented chatbots using feature-based knowledge bases 

    Campàs Gené, Carla; Motger de la Encarnación, Joaquim; Franch Gutiérrez, Javier; Marco Gómez, Jordi (Springer, 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Task-oriented chatbots relying on a knowledge base for domain-specific content exploitation have been largely addressed in research and industry applications. Despite this, multiple challenges remain to be fully conquered, ...
  • Mobile feature-oriented knowledge base generation using knowledge graphs 

    Motger de la Encarnación, Joaquim; Franch Gutiérrez, Javier; Marco Gómez, Jordi (Springer, 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Knowledge bases are centralized repositories used for developing knowledge-oriented information systems. They are essential for adaptive, specialized knowledge in dialogue systems, supporting up-to-date domain-specific ...
  • Modeling context-aware events and responses in an IoT environment 

    Vila Gómez, Marc; Sancho Samsó, María Ribera; Teniente López, Ernest (Springer, 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The Internet of Things (IoT) involves the use of devices that exchange information about the state of things in the real world. In IoT, monitoring is regarded to be the most fully researched use case. However, research on ...
  • Monitoring, IoT devices, and semantics 

    Vila Gómez, Marc; Sancho Samsó, María Ribera; Teniente López, Ernest (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Efforts to improve Internet of Things (IoT) device interoperability for monitoring are still required. This demo paper proposes monitoring infrastructure safety and security with the use of semantics. We make use of an ...
  • Animation fidelity in self-avatars: impact on user performance and sense of agency 

    Yun, Haoran; Pontón Martínez, José Luis; Andújar Gran, Carlos Antonio; Pelechano Gómez, Núria (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The use of self-avatars is gaining popularity thanks to affordable VR headsets. Unfortunately, mainstream VR devices often use a small number of trackers and provide low-accuracy animations. Previous studies have shown ...
