Seminar: “Quantifying Environmental Justice through Models of Time Series of Counts”
Abstract: Environmental justice (EJ) advocates equal protection against environmental and public health risks. Despite its relevance, objective metrics to quantify EJ are limited. We propose a statistical framework to define and estimate EJ indicators, grounded in count time series models. Specifically, the daily number of hospital admissions is modeled using INGARCH models with environmental covariates. […]

Seminar: “Read-write ML: towards a new paradigm in Machine Learning”
Abstract: Machine Learning algorithms can be described as read-only methods, because they generate a representation and/or a model of the data, without changing it. Given that the quality of the model learned is strongly dependent on the alignment between the data and the bias of the algorithm, this means an essential part of the process […]

Seminar: “Temporal Modeling in Context-aware Computing”
Summary: Time is a strategic aspect when modeling Context-aware Systems. Despite natural and consensual perception of time, the integrated modeling of its dimensions for the development of context-aware software is an open research topic. Context Histories store the Past, Profile Management allows to model the Present and Context Prediction anticipates the Future. This talk addresses […]
