Abstract: The rapid development of technology, coupled with the generation of large amounts of data, has brought new opportunities and challenges for criminal investigation. Dealing with data in its various formats, with limited time for investigation, is a challenge for all law enforcement agencies. This presentation aims to approach the topic from the perspective of […]
Katja Auffret and Georges Soto-Romero will provide a talk presenting INSA Toulouse VR lab, next wednesday, at IEETA. INSA Toulouse is a French Engineering school in the Southwest of France, in Toulouse, where the headquarters of Airbus are also located. INSA Toulouse is a founding member of the Federal University of Toulouse and a member, […]

Abstract: Deep learning of artificial neural networks has become the de facto standard approach to solving data analysis problems in virtually all fields of science and engineering and especially in medical image analysis. In this talk, Julia will present her past and recent projects on deep learning based medical image classification, segmentation, image synthesis and […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Speaker: Bernardo Marques is a Research Assistant at the Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro – IEETA. Current research interests span over several fields, including Human-Centered Computing (HCC), Human-Centered Design (HCD), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Virtual, Augmented, Mixed and eXtended Reality (VR, AR, MR, XR), 3D User Interfaces (3DUI), User […]
Speaker: Ana Martins joined IEETA in 2018 with a research grant to develop her skills in statistical modelling and data analysis. Since 2019, she is pursuing the PhD degree in Applied Mathematics (MAP-PDMA) with an individual FCT funding (Ref. SFRH/BD/143973/2019, Mathematics). Ana Martins holds a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry (2014, University of Porto), a master’s […]
We are excited to announce an upcoming seminar featuring Tiago Araújo, titled “Unveiling the black box: Explainability on Machine Learning Techniques.” The seminar will delve into the importance of explainability in machine learning and its implications for building trust and ensuring fairness in predictive models. Machine learning models are often regarded as “black boxes” due […]
Sérgio Oliveira’s dissertation, developed as part of the master’s degree in Digital Games Development (MDJD) at the University of Aveiro (UA), deserved an honorable mention within the scope of the 2023 Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities awarded by the National Institute of Rehabilitation. The work combines serious games and virtual reality to help the […]
Sérgio Oliveira, a Master’s student in Digital Game Development at the University of Aveiro (UA), has been awarded the 2024 Best Thesis Award in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by the Portuguese Association for the Development of Communications (APDC). His thesis, supervised by Beatriz Sousa Santos and Bernardo Marques, with collaboration from Dr. Paula Amorim […]
