CDJUR-BR -- A Golden Collection of Legal Document from Brazilian Justice with Fine-Grained Named Entities
Antonio Mauricio, Vladia Pinheiro, Vasco Furtado +5
A basic task for most Legal Artificial Intelligence (Legal AI) applications is Named Entity Recognition (NER). However, texts produced in the context of legal practice make referen…
The ubiquitous efficiency of going further: how street networks affect travel speed
Gabriel L. Maia, Caio Ponte, Carlos Caminha +3
As cities struggle to adapt to more ``people-centered'' urbanism, transportation planning and engineering must innovate to expand the street network strategically in order to ensur…
Tracing contacts to evaluate the transmission of COVID-19 from highly exposed individuals in public transportation
Caio Ponte, Humberto A. Carmona, Erneson A. Oliveira +4
We investigate, through a data-driven contact tracing model, the transmission of COVID-19 inside buses during distinct phases of the pandemic in a large Brazilian city. From this m…
Understanding the impact of the alphabetical ordering of names in user interfaces: a gender bias analysis
Daniel Sullivan, Carlos Caminha, Victor Dantas +3
Listing people alphabetically on an electronic output device is a traditional technique, since alphabetical order is easily perceived by users and facilitates access to information…
A Temporal Clustering Algorithm for Achieving the trade-off between the User Experience and the Equipment Economy in the Context of IoT
Caio Ponte, Carlos Caminha, Rafael Bomfim +2
We present here the Temporal Clustering Algorithm (TCA), an incremental learning algorithm applicable to problems of anticipatory computing in the context of the Internet of Things…
A universal approach for drainage basins
Erneson A. Oliveira, Rilder S. Pires, Rubens S. Oliveira +3
Drainage basins are essential to Geohydrology and Biodiversity. Defining those regions in a simple, robust and efficient way is a constant challenge in Earth Science. Here, we intr…
A worldwide model for boundaries of urban settlements
Erneson A. Oliveira, Vasco Furtado, José S. Andrade +1
The shape of urban settlements plays a fundamental role in their sustainable planning. Properly defining the boundaries of cities is challenging and remains an open problem in the…
Towards Understanding the Impact of Crime in a Choice of a Route by a Bus Passenger
Daniel Sullivan, Carlos Caminha, Hygor Melo +1
In this paper we describe a simulation platform that supports studies on the impact of crime on urban mobility. We present an example of how this can be achieved by seeking to unde…
Increasing the Likelihood of Finding Public Transport Riders that Face Problems Through a Data-Driven approach
Vasco Furtado, Carlos Caminha, Elizabeth Furtado +4
The maintenance of big cities public transport service quality requires constant monitoring, which may become an expensive and time-consuming practice. The perception of quality, f…
Towards Understanding the Impact of Human Mobility on Police Allocation
Carlos Caminha, Vasco Furtado
Motivated by recent findings that human mobility is proxy for crime behavior in big cities and that there is a superlinear relationship between the people's movement and crime, thi…
From Data to City Indicators: A Knowledge Graph for Supporting Automatic Generation of Dashboards
Henrique Santos, Victor Dantas, Vasco Furtado +2
In the context of Smart Cities, indicator definitions have been used to calculate values that enable the comparison among different cities. The calculation of an indicator values h…
A Service-Oriented Architecture for Assisting the Authoring of Semantic Crowd Maps
Henrique Santos, Vasco Furtado
Although there are increasingly more initiatives for the generation of semantic knowledge based on user participation, there is still a shortage of platforms for regular users to c…
Contextual Data Collection for Smart Cities
Henrique Santos, Vasco Furtado, Paulo Pinheiro +1
As part of Smart Cities initiatives, national, regional and local governments all over the globe are under the mandate of being more open regarding how they share their data. Under…
Human Mobility in Large Cities as a Proxy for Crime
Carlos Caminha, Vasco Furtado, Tarcisio H. C. Pequeno +4
We investigate at the subscale of the neighborhoods of a highly populated city the incidence of property crimes in terms of both the resident and the floating population. Our resul…
Micro-interventions in urban transport from pattern discovery on the flow of passengers and on the bus network
Carlos Caminha, Vasco Furtado, Vládia Pinheiro e Caio Ponte
In this paper, we describe a case study in a big metropolis, in which from data collected by digital sensors, we tried to understand mobility patterns of persons using buses and ho…
Detecção de comunidades em redes complexas para identificar gargalos e desperdício de recursos em sistemas de ônibus
Carlos Caminha, Vasco Furtado, Vládia Pinheiro +1
We propose here a methodology to help to understand the shortcomings of public transportation in a city via the mining of complex networks representing the supply and demand of pub…
Collaboration networks from a large CV database: dynamics, topology and bonus impact
E. B. Araújo, A. A. Moreira, V. Furtado +2
Understanding the dynamics of research production and collaboration may reveal better strategies for scientific careers, academic institutions and funding agencies. Here we propose…
