With the arrival of the New Coronavirus 2020 pandemic, dif-ferent realities had to adapt in the face of the difficulties that plaguedworld society. creening and pre-diagnosis measures are extremely impor-tant to contain the growing advance with peaks of alarming contagions.Within this perspective of designing efficient solutions and quick resultsfor rapid pre-diagnosis, screening is extremely important to contain thespread of contagion. This study proposes an effective IoT-based solutionfor  the  classification  and  detection  of  coughs,  with  the  aim  of  identi-fying  COVID-19  and  non-COVID-19  cough  patterns  in  a  patient  withsymptoms  of  the  disease.  The  cloud  system  uses  a  framework  capableof  capturing  the  previously  acquired  coughing  sounds  and  classifyingthem on the spectrograms through different deep learning networks us-ing transfer learning techniques. The proposed study was able to obtain 96.16% Accuracy in its best MobileNet + MLP model, with a Precisionof 97.47%, demonstrating an excellent performance for pre-diagnosis ofCOVID-19 in patients for possible screening through invasive tests.

New Approach Detection of COVID-19 by Cough Spectrogram Using IoT and Learning Transfer Technique for Classification

"The paper is focused on evaluating the security of using the Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP) as an alternative to the OpenFlow protocol for communication between the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) switch and the SDN controller. BGP is the main routing protocol used on the Internet. For this reason, it is considered as a possible alternative or replacement for the OpenFlow protocol used in SDN networks. In our paper, we present the identified security risks
resulting from the use of BGP in SDN in the standard way of BGP implementation."

An Optimized Approach to COVID-19 Detection via Cough Audio Signals and Dimensionality Reduction

Clustering and classification techniques are frequently used to extract patterns and classify new data. Those techniques can be applied in data sets where the label information is not provided: the clustering interpretation identifies a pattern to assist the classification process. This interpretation often requires a specialist analysis since it depends on the approached problem but can also be performed by an automatic cluster labeling model. These models select the clusters' main characteristics to create labels that can be used as a summary of the clusters. In the literature papers in which these approaches are proposed, the labeling models present labels as attributes and ranges of values representing most clusters' elements. This paper proposes a cluster prediction model that uses cluster labels to generate rules and membership functions of a Fuzzy System to determine the cluster for new samples. The proposed model was evaluated by comparing accuracy, Kappa coefficient, and training time with other well-known classification algorithms. Also, we evaluated the number of rules generated. For different data sets used in the experiments, all available on the UCI repository, the results showed a Kappa coefficient above 0.8, which is considered excellent, and accuracy rate and training time similar to the well-known algorithms.

Cluster Prediction Model based on Automatic Cluster Labeling and Fuzzy System

An Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is the cornerstone of many modern identity-driven applications, ranging from device authentication and law enforcement to security and borderline control. As the population in urban centers grows and the digitalization of services grows, so does the demand for more effective and efficient fingerprint recognition systems. Singular Points (SP), such as core and delta, are important landmarks that help to tackle this challenge. This paper proposes and evaluates an effective approach for SP detection based on a single-stage deep convolutional neural network model for object detection. We show that YOLOv4 detector with customized output layers is effective for handling cores and deltas patterns as patches in fingerprint images, using their center as coordinates. Experimental results were carried out on the challenging SPD2010 dataset to evaluate the proposed SP detector under different configurations. The best result is 60.34% of correctly detected fingerprints. In particular, compared to the state-of-the-art methods, our approach achieves an improvement up to 12% in correct detections, 8% in core detection rate, and 10% in delta detection rate. Core and delta miss rates are also reduced by 8% and 10%, respectively.

Robust Fingerprint Singular Point Detection using a Single-Stage CNN for Object Detection

 Cluster Labeling Models apply Artificial Intelligence techniques to extract the main characteristics of data partitioned into clusters to provide a tool for interpretation of the clustering. For this purpose, different techniques, such as Machine Learning, Fuzzy Logic, and Data Discretization are used to identify essential attributes for forming clusters and the ranges of values associated with them. This paper presents a Cluster Labeling Model based on regression that delimits the attributes ranges of values that best summarize the groups. In the proposed model, the importance of an attribute to clustering is determined by the capacity of its most accurate range of values -- according to regression-- to represent the clusters. The results achieved in the experiments have shown that the model is useful, providing specific labels for each cluster that represents between 84% and 100% of the elements of the clusters for the databases used.

Automatic Cluster Labeling Based on Regression Error Analysis

"Color is one of the main features for the evaluation of fruit ripeness.
Part of the quality control is based on the ripening status, where fruits should be
placed with others with the same ripening phase. However, this color analysis
can be done automatically using computer vision techniques. This work
presents an evaluation of the ripeness status of bananas, based on the analysis of
the texture features obtained with a digital camera. The results aim to determine
which texture feature can provide better results for the automatic classification
of the bananas ripening phase."

Banana Ripening Classification using Computer Vision: Preliminary Results

Particle colliders are machines built to probe fundamental questions in physics. The properties of the produced particles are measured by complex experiments which use a wide variety of devices, such as the calorimeter system. In the ATLAS experiment at LHC, the Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) comprises about 10,000 readout channels that amplify, shape, and sample each signal every 25 ns. Since LHC collisions occur every 25 ns, and due to the increase of the luminosity level, signals from adjacent collisions may be read out within the same TileCal readout window, deforming the expected signal, and degrading the energy estimation efficiency. Therefore, this work compares the performance of the currently available methods for TileCal energy estimation using LHC collision data. Different pile-up conditions are considered. The results show that the performance in terms of the uncertainty of the energy estimation can be improved up to 35% in high occupancy readout channels.

Content-Based Multimodal Retrieval: Using Image and Audio Descriptors for Retrieving Cases from a Database of Cardiac Examinations

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, can cause severe pneumonia. The chest X-ray (CXR) is the preliminary radiographic exam to investigate pneumonia and other lung abnormalities. However, the identification of opacities in the CXR is challenging due to its overall low quality. In the literature, several works have proposed automated approaches to improve the quality of CXR images in general. However, as far as we know, few studies explored them in the context of COVID-19 identification in a thorough manner. In this work, we applied a series of digital image processing techniques, focusing on contrast enhancement. The impact of each method was evaluated using traditional digital image quality metrics, specifically peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and universal image quality (UQI), and a deep learning model for COVID-19 detection. We also investigated which regions were most frequently used by the model after each transformation using an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approach called LIME. The rationale is to evaluate if any transformation improves the lung region used by the recognition model. The enhancement strategies that presented the overall best results considering PSNR and UQI were Gamma Correction (GC) and Adaptive Gamma Correction With Weighting Distribution (AGCWD). However, no method improved the identification of COVID-19 in a significant matter.
