A domain-specific language for describing machine learning datasets

Joan Giner-Miguelez, Abel Gómez, Jordi Cabot

Datasets play a central role in the training and evaluation of machine learning (ML) models. But they are also the root cause of many undesired model behaviors, such as biased pred…

Characterization of interactions' persistence in time-varying networks

Francisco Bauzá Mingueza, Mario Floría, Jesús Gómez-Gardeñes +2

Many complex networked systems exhibit volatile dynamic interactions among their vertices, whose order and persistence reverberate on the outcome of dynamical processes taking plac…

New trends in indoor positioning based on WiFi and machine learning: A systematic review

Vladimir Bellavista-Parent, Joaquín Torres-Sospedra, Antoni Perez-Navarro

Currently there is no standard indoor positioning system, similar to outdoor GPS. However, WiFi signals have been used in a large number of proposals to achieve the above positioni…

Subsequent embedding in targeted image steganalysis: Theoretical framework and practical applications

David Megías, Daniel Lerch-Hostalot

Steganalysis is a collection of techniques used to detect whether secret information is embedded in a carrier using steganography. Most of the existing steganalytic methods are bas…

Neutral Theory for competing attention in social networks

Carlos A. Plata, Emanuele Pigani, Sandro Azaele +6

We used an ecological approach based on a neutral model to study the competition for attention in an online social network. This novel approach allow us to analyze some ecological…

Absence of a resolution limit in in-block nestedness

Manuel S. Mariani, María J. Palazzi, Albert Solé-Ribalta +2

Originally a speculative pattern in ecological networks, the hybrid or compound nested-modular pattern has been confirmed, during the last decade, as a relevant structural arrangem…

Effect of shortest path multiplicity on congestion of multiplex networks

Albert Solé-Ribalta, Alex Arenas, Sergio Gómez

Shortest paths are representative of discrete geodesic distances in graphs, and many descriptors of networks depend on their counting. In multiplex networks, this counting is radic…

Exploring the Performance Boundaries of NB-IoT

Borja Martinez, Ferran Adelantado, Andrea Bartoli +1

NarrowBand-IoT has just joined the LPWAN community. Unlike most of its competitors, NB-IoT did not emerge from a blank slate. Indeed, it is closely linked to LTE, from which it inh…
