Human pose estimation is an important field of Computer Vision that aims to predict poses of individuals from videos and images. It has been used in many different areas including human-computer interaction, motion analysis, surveillance, action prediction, action correction, augmented reality, virtual reality, and healthcare. This review is focused on the most significant contributions in human pose estimation for training assistance. Executing movements correctly is crucial in all kinds of physical activities, both to increase performance and reduce risk of injury. Human pose estimation is poised to help athletes better analyse the quality of their movements. 
The systematic review study was conducted in five databases including articles from January 2011 to March 2021. The initial search resulted in 129 articles, of which 8 were selected after applying the filtering criteria. Moreover this study presents the challenges related to pose estimation, which pose estimation methods have been used in recent years, in which specific activities the selected articles have focused on, and a taxonomy of human pose estimation methods.

- Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning for Pattern Analysis; 
- Biometrics, Human Analysis and Behavior Understanding; Computer Vision, Robotics and Intelligent Systems; 
- Document and Media Analysis; and 
- Image and Signal Processing. 

The **ICPR 2020** Main Conference program also includes 7 Keynotes from prominent world-renowned scientists, 8 Tutorials, 28 Demos, 8 Challenges, 2 Panels, as well as an Industry/Sponsor Exhibition. In addition, 41 Workshops on a range of important current and emerging research topics complete the ICPR 2020 program.

Drowsiness is a problem that affects traffic on a worldwide scale, especially among motorcyclists, who use a naturally dangerous means of transport. Nowadays, there is no product on the market that performs an anti-drowsiness action in this public. This article aims to propose the creation of a wearable device coupled to the motorcycle helmet that detects a state of drowsiness through sensors and combats it using actuators. Still at an early stage, a prototype was created, tests in a controlled environment were carried out, preliminary results were presented and a series of future works were drawn up to continue the project.

2DrowSys: an anti-drowsiness device for motorcyclists

Due to the evolution of motion capture devices, natural user interfaces have been applied in several areas, such as neuromotor rehabilitation supported by virtual environments. This paper presents a smartphone application that allows the user to interact with the virtual environment and enables the captured data to be stored, processed, and used in machine learning models. The application submits the recordings to the remote database with information about the movement and in order to apply supervised machine learning. As a proof of concept, we generated a dataset capturing movement data using our application with 232 instances divided into 8 classes of movements. Moreover, we used this dataset for training models that classifies these movements. The remarkable accuracy of the models shows the feasibility of using body articulation data for a classification task after some data transformations.

Towards a Pragmatic Interoperability on the MIDAS Middleware

The IoT's widely distributed nature has promoted demands for Over-The-Air (OTA) upgrading of embedded systems. This paper presents the conception of a new approach, called iOTA, which meets the security requirements of the SUIT specification of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The partial evaluation of the proposal points to the continuation of the research and showed that iOTA stands out in terms of security in relation to the other approaches proposed by the literature, offering protection against attacks to which a remote update of an embedded system is usually exposed.

iOTA: An Approach to Secure Over-The-Air Updates on the Internet of Things Scenario

In smart city scenarios, a plethora of data is generated from multiple, decentralized sources, e.g., systems, applications, citizen devices, sensors, etc. However, these data may be not readily available for use due to the high heterogeneity of types, formats, and protocols, thereby giving rise to vertical silos that hamper sharing, integrating, and exploiting these data. This paper introduces Aquedücte, a data integration service for smart cities. Aquedücte offers functionalities for (i) handling data from heterogeneous sources such as files, Web services, systems, etc., (ii) converting these data to a common protocol, and (iii) making them further available to platforms aimed to support the development of smart city applications.

Aprendizado de máquina para precaching de conteúdo

Em 2012, 56% das crianças entre 10 e 13 tinham um smartphone, atualmente, uma grande quantidade de dados são compartilhados a cada minuto na internet, inclusive em chats, isso acentua a necessidade de métodos automatizados de moderação de contaúdo. Esse trabalho propôe uma abordagem para controle parental tendo em mente a privacidade dos protegidos enquanto utiliza métodos com deep learning para detectar conteúdo sensível automaticamente.

Should I See or Should I Go?: Automatic Detection of Sensitive Media in Messaging Apps

Fake news can rapidly spread through internet users. Approaches proposed in the literature for content classification usually learn models considering textual and contextual features from real and fake news to minimize the spread of disinformation. One of the prominent approaches to detect fake news is One-Class Learning (OCL), as it minimizes the data labeling effort, requiring only the labeling of fake news documents. The performance of these algorithms depends on the structured representation of the documents used in the learning process. Generally, a textual-based unimodal representation is used, such as bag-of-words or representations based on linguistic categories. We propose MVAE-FakeNews, a multimodal representation method to detect fake news in OCL. The proposed approach uses a Multimodal Variational Autoencoder, learns a new representation from the combination of two modalities considered promising for fake news detection: text embeddings and topic information. In the experiments, we used three datasets considering Portuguese and English languages. Results show that the MVAE-FakeNews obtained a better F1-Score for the class of interest, outperforming another nine methods in ten of twelve evaluated scenarios. MVAE-FakeNews presented a better average ranking and statistical difference from other representation models. The proposed method proved to be promising to represent the texts in the OCL scenario to detect fake news.

Learning Textual Representations from Multiple Modalities to Detect Fake News Through One-Class Learning

The dissemination of news through digital media has amplified Fake News proliferation. In the face of this scenario, sentiment-based methods have presented promising results in Fake News detection. Although sentiment-based methods can extract sentiment (i.e., po- larity and/or emotion) from either texts or images available in news, the ones applied to Portuguese-written news have considered sen- timent exclusively extracted from texts. Thus, this study proposes a multimodal method that, besides the polarity and emotions ex- tracted from texts, also considers sentiment extracted from news’ images in order to detect Fake News written in Portuguese. The proposed method showed promising results in experimental data, overcoming the baseline methods in 8 p.p.

A Sentiment-Based Multimodal Method to Detect Fake News

A crucial task to overall video understanding is the recognition and localisation in time of different actions or events that are present along the scenes. To address this problem, action segmentation must be achieved. Action segmentation consists of temporally segmenting a video by labeling each frame with a specific action. In this work, we propose a novel action segmentation method that requires no prior video analysis and no annotated data. Our method involves extracting spatio-temporal features from videos using a pre-trained deep network. Data is then transformed using a positional encoder and finally a clustering algorithm is applied with the use of a silhouette score to find the optimal number of clusters where each cluster presumably corresponds to a different single and distinguishable action. In experiments, we show that our method produces competitive results on Breakfast and Inria Instructional Videos dataset benchmarks.
