Tilings of a bounded region of the plane by maximal one-dimensional tiles
Eduardo J. Aguilar, Valmir C. Barbosa, Raul Donangelo +2
We study the tiling of a two-dimensional region of the plane by -cell one-dimensional tiles, or -mers. Unlike previous studies, which typically allowed for one single value o…
Sub-GeV dark matter in neutron stars: halo morphologies and their suppression by vacuum-like pressure
Loreany F. Araújo, Germán Lugones, José Ademir S. Lima
We investigate neutron stars that contain a unified dark sector composed of cold, degenerate fermionic dark matter and a vacuum-like dark-energy component. Within a general-relativ…
Thermodynamic interpretation to Stochastic Fisher Information and Single-Trajectory Speed Limits
Pedro B. Melo, Fernando Iemini, Diogo O. Soares-Pinto +2
The Fisher information (FI) metric is a Riemannian metric that allows a geometric treatment of stochastic thermodynamics, introducing the possibility of computing thermodynamic len…
Stochastic thermodynamics of Fisher information
Pedro B. Melo, Sílvio M. Duarte Queirós, Welles A. M. Morgado
In this paper, we investigate the stochastic thermodynamics of Fisher information (FI), meaning we characterize both the \textit{fluctuations} of FI, introducing a parastatistics o…
Detecting Logical Relation In Contract Clauses
Alexandre Yukio Ichida, Felipe Meneguzzi
Contracts underlie most modern commercial transactions defining define the duties and obligations of the related parties in an agreement. Ensuring such agreements are error free is…
Challenges Women in Software Engineering Leadership Roles Face: A Qualitative Study
Karina Kohl, Rafael Prikladnicki
Software engineering is not only about technical solutions. To a large extent, it is also concerned with organizational issues, project management, and human behavior. There are se…
Game Design for Blockchain Learning
Diogo Cortiz, Newton Calegari, Fabiana Oliveira +1
Blockchain is a new technological approach that has gained popularity on the market due to its application in several areas such as education, health, security, and smart cities, a…
CP-MDP: A CANDECOMP-PARAFAC Decomposition Approach to Solve a Markov Decision Process Multidimensional Problem
Daniela Kuinchtner, Afonso Sales, Felipe Meneguzzi
Markov Decision Process (MDP) is the underlying model for optimal planning for decision-theoretic agents in stochastic environments. Although much research focuses on solving MDP p…
Inferring Agents Preferences as Priors for Probabilistic Goal Recognition
Kin Max Gusmão, Ramon Fraga Pereira, Felipe Meneguzzi
Recent approaches to goal recognition have leveraged planning landmarks to achieve high-accuracy with low runtime cost. These approaches, however, lack a probabilistic interpretati…
RECEIPT: REfine CoarsE-grained IndePendent Tasks for Parallel Tip decomposition of Bipartite Graphs
Kartik Lakhotia, Rajgopal Kannan, Viktor Prasanna +1
Tip decomposition is a crucial kernel for mining dense subgraphs in bipartite networks, with applications in spam detection, analysis of affiliation networks etc. It creates a hier…
Visual Explanation for Identification of the Brain Bases for Dyslexia on fMRI Data
Laura Tomaz Da Silva, Nathalia Bianchini Esper, Duncan D. Ruiz +2
Brain imaging of mental health, neurodevelopmental and learning disorders has coupled with machine learning to identify patients based only on their brain activation, and ultimatel…
A Survey of Aging Monitors and Reconfiguration Techniques
Leonardo Rezende Juracy, Matheus Trevisan Moreira, Alexandre de Morais Amory +1
CMOS technology scaling makes aging effects an important concern for the design and fabrication of integrated circuits. Aging deterioration reduces the useful life of a circuit, ma…
The More the Merrier?! Evaluating the Effect of Landmark Extraction Algorithms on Landmark-Based Goal Recognition
Kin Max Piamolini Gusmão, Ramon Fraga Pereira, Felipe Meneguzzi
Recent approaches to goal and plan recognition using classical planning domains have achieved state of the art results in terms of both recognition time and accuracy by using heuri…
On the physical association of Fermi-LAT blazars with their low-energy counterparts
Raniere de Menezes, Raffaele D'Abrusco, Francesco Massaro +2
Associating gamma-ray sources to their low-energy counterparts is one of the major challenges of modern gamma-ray astronomy. In the context of the Fourth Fermi Large Area Telescope…
A Bayesian Application in Judicial Decisions
