This paper presents the prototype of a compact and low-cost we- arable electronic device that, based on the reading of the Wi-Fi signal strength emitted by other wearable devices of the same type, estimates the proximity between users and issues a notification (an audible and visual alarm) when the distance between them is less than a reference value. Our preliminary results suggest that the proposed solution may be a viable alternative to ensure social distancing as a practice to face the pandemic caused by COVID-19.

In order for subtitles to fulfill their objective of enriching users’ experience, it is necessary that, during the subtitling process (creation of subtitles), “good practices”, usually specified in subtitling guides, are taken into account. In this context, this work uses an approach based on the processing of SRT files to assess the degree of compliance of subtitles in relation to the recommendations of a reference guide considered in the subtitling process. Our preliminary results show how meticulous is the process performed by those who aim at providing a satisfactory quality of experience (QoE) for viewers of the audiovisual content.

Relationships between users in social networks are evaluated in different ways. Here, our goal is to measure the strength of the ties between GitHub users by considering the temporal aspect of the network. Specifically, we analyze the evolution of these relationships by applying a classification algorithm over a GitHub network and calculate the persistence of them over different classes. The results bring new information about the collaborative software development process on the platform.

Smartphones sensing capabilities have enabled the development of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) solutions for better understanding human behavior through computational techniques. However, these solutions have been difficult to perform in dynamic scenarios because they do not observe data evolution over time and the high consumption of computational resources, such as memory, processing and energy. This occurs because the HAR problem for smartphones has been solved through classification models generated by offline machine learning algorithms that, in this case, are limited by a data history with little information about human activities. The problem with this approach is that human activities change constantly over time and are strongly influenced by the physical environment and the user’s profile. To overcome these problems this doctoral thesis proposes a new approach to recognize human activities based on the symbolic data streaming analysis. Our approach enables the development of low-cost, scalable HAR systems capable of adapting to data change over time. In this context, this thesis proposes a framework called DISTAR (DIscrete STream learning for Activity Recognition), responsible for standardizing the analysis of data stream process and generation of adaptive models that observe the data evolution over time without storing a data history. The DISTAR framework uses the symbolic representation algorithms known for reducing the dimensionality and numerosity of the data. In addition, this thesis also proposes a new adaptive online algorithm, called NOHAR (NOvelty discrete data stream for Human Activity Recognition), which uses as basis the DISTAR framework. Experimental results using three databases show that NOHAR is 13 times faster compared to the state of the art and is able to reduce memory consumption by an average of 99.97%.
