abstract = {In supervised learning scenarios, some applications require solve a classification problem wherein labels are not given as a single ground truth. Instead, the criteria of a set of experts is used to provide labels aimed at compensating for the erroneous influence with respect to a single labeler as well as the error bias (excellent or lousy) due to the level of perception and experience of each expert. This paper aims to briefly outline mathematical developments on support vector machines (SVM), and overview SVM-based approaches for multiple expert learning (MEL). Such MEL approaches are posed by modifying the formulation of a least-squares SVM, which enables to obtain a set of reliable, objective labels while penalizing the evaluation quality of each expert. Particularly, this work studies both two-class (binary) MEL classifier (BMLC) and its extension to multiclass through one-against all (OaA-MLC) including penalization of each expert’s influence. Formal mathematical developments are stated, as well as remarkable discussion on key aspects about the least-squares SVM formulation and penalty factors are provided.},

It has also proven to be one of the most interesting algorithms in the field of data mining despite its simplicity. However, CNN suffers from several drawbacks, such as high storage requirements and low noise tolerance. One of the characteristics of CNN is that it focuses on the selection of prototypes, which consists of reducing the set of training data. One of the goals of CNN seeks to achieve the reduction of information in such a way that the reduced information can represent large amounts of data to exercise decision-making on them. This paper mentions some of the most recent contributions to CNN-based unsupervised algorithms in a review that builds on the mathematical principles of condensed methods.},

Broadly speaking, an IM consists of the use of a mixture of dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques within an interactive data visualization framework. The rationale of creating an IM is the need for simultaneously harnessing the benefit of several DR approaches to reach a data representation being intelligible and/or fitted to any user’s criterion. As a remarkable advantage, an IM naturally provides a generalized framework for designing both interactive DR approaches as well as readily-to-use data visualization interfaces. In addition to a comprehensive overview on basics of data representation and dimensionality reduction, the main contribution of this manuscript is the elegant definition of the concept of IM in mathematical terms.},

In this connection, the dimensionality reduction (DR) allows to perform approximations to make data perceptible in a simple and compact way while also the computational cost is reduced. Additionally, interactive interfaces enable the user to work with algorithms involving complex mathematical and statistical processes typically aimed at providing weighting factors to each RD algorithm to find the best way to represent data at a low dimension. In this study, a bibliographic re-view of the different models of interactive interfaces for the analysis of Big Data using RD is presented, by considering different, existing proposals and approaches on how to display the information. Particularly, those approaches based on mental processes and uses of color along with an intuitive handling are of special interest.},

One of the most adequate methods for diagnosing and monitoring is via the analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Despite there is a wide range of alternatives to characterize and classify EEG signals for epilepsy analysis purposes, many key aspects related to accuracy and physiological interpretation are still considered as open issues. In this paper, this work performs an exploratory study in order to identify the most adequate frequently-used methods for characterizing and classifying epileptic seizures. In this regard, a comparative study is carried out on several subsets of features using four representative classifiers: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The framework uses a well-known epilepsy dataset and runs several experiments for two and three classification problems. The results suggest that DWT decomposition with SVM is the most suitable combination.},

abstract = {La motricidad se define como "el control que el niño(a) es capaz de tener sobre su propio cuerpo".(Madrona, Jordán, & Barreto, 2008) El desarrollo de las habilidades motoras gruesas a temprana edad en los niños de 3 a 6 años involucra el movimiento de los músculos largos de su cuerpo, incrementa la conciencia de su actividad muscular como el correr, brincar, promueve el desarrollo del sistema nervioso vestibular, así como su confianza y el dominio de su entorno espacial. Entre los métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje para este rango de edades se encuentra el aprendizaje lúdico como los métodos: Educación personalizada, Agazzi que se enfoca al desarrollo de la vista, el Fröebeliano aporta al desarrollo para el oído y audición, mientras que, el Montessori se orienta al control postural y equilibrio, los mismos que, tienen como característica principal el juego, ya que genera en ellos un mejor uso de sus emociones y comportamientos, reduciendo su estrés y convirtiéndose un incentivo para aprender. Según (Piaget & Inhelder, 1997) "El conocimiento no se obtiene de los objetos sino de las acciones que realice sobre los objetos", en consecuencia, la aplicación de métodos lúdicos de enseñanza-aprendizaje mediante el uso de la tecnología, como dispositivos electrónicos y TICs pretende lograr dicha meta. En este contexto, la implementación de dispositivos electrónicos entre ellos prototipos electrónicos como recursos que faciliten el aprendizaje y enseñanza lúdicos, pretende contribuir a los beneficios significativos sobre la enseñanza tradicional. 

 

Abstract 

Motor skills are defined as "the control that the child is able to have on his own body." (Madrona, Jordán, & Barreto, 2008) 

The development of gross motor skills at an early age in children aged 3 to 6 years involves the movement of the long muscles of their body, increases the awareness of their muscular activity such as running, jumping, promotes the development of the vestibular nervous system, as well as their confidence and the control of their space environment. 

Among the methods of teaching and learning for this age range is ludic learning as the methods: Personalized education, Agazzi that focuses on the development of sight, the Fröebeliano contributes to the development for hearing and hearing, while the Montessori it is oriented to postural control and balance, the same ones that have the main characteristic of the game, since it generates in them a better use of their emotions and behaviors, reducing their stress and becoming an incentive to learn. 

According to (Piaget & Inhelder, 1997) "Knowledge is not obtained from the objects but from the actions that are performed on the objects", consequently, the application of playful methods of teaching and learning through the use of technology, such as electronic devices and ICTs aims to achieve that goal. 

In this context, the implementation of electronic devices including electronic prototypes as resources that facilitate ludic learning and teaching, aims to contribute to the significant benefits of traditional teaching. 

This study is descriptive, it covers the main approaches in the aspect of play methods and their application, as well as the results of these proposals, in order to be a base material or reference for future research in the area.},

El presente trabajo destacó la importancia de gestionar, optimizar los recursos y performance de las WLANs unificadas, con el objetivo principal de potenciar el acceso a la información de los diferentes entes del quehacer diario tanto para instituciones de carácter público o privado. De manera que las necesidades actuales de movilidad y capacidad de los usuarios requiere una especial atención para el fortalecimiento de la infraestructura inalámbrica y de los recursos de red traducidos en una prestación de servicios de mejor calidad que pueden ser potenciados a través del análisis e implementación de mecanismos de QoS WLAN, sin dejar de lado las consideraciones de diseño, planficación y tecnología robusta que estén en la capacidad de solventar o satisfacer la demanda actual de aplicaciones críticas y en tiempo real. 

 

Inicialmente, el estándar que define las WLANs (IEEE 802.11) no consideraba mecanismos de calidad de servicio, pero a raíz de solventar las necesidades aparece la variante 802.11e para dar fin a los inconvenientes presentados en este tipo de infraestructuras debido a la evolución y convergencia de los servicios. Es por eso que este estudio pretende dar a conocer los lineamientos y recomendaciones fundamentales para el despliegue de Calidad de Servicio en las redes inalámbricas de área Local. 

 

 

Abstract: 

 

This paper highlights the importance of managing, optimizing the resources and performance of unified WLANs. The main objective is related with the access to information of the different entities of the daily task both public or private institutions. Thereby, the current mobility and capacity needs of users require special attention for the strengthening of the wireless infrastructure and network resources translated into a provision of better quality services that can be enhanced through the analysis and implementation of WLAN QoS mechanisms, without leaving aside the consideration of design, planning and robust technology which are able to satisfy the current demand of critical applications in real time. 

 

Initially, the standard that defines the WLANs (IEEE 802.11) did not consider quality of service mechanisms, but as a result of solving the needs, the 802.11e variant appears to put an end to the inconveniences presented in this type of infrastructure due to the evolution and convergence of services. That is why this study aims to publicize the fundamental guidelines and recommendations for the deployment of Quality of Service in local area wireless networks.},

abstract = {Dimensionality reduction (DR) methods are able to produce low-dimensional representations of an input data sets which may become intelligible for human perception. Nonetheless, most existing DR approaches lack the ability to naturally provide the users with the faculty of controlability and interactivity. In this connection, data visualization (DataVis) results in an ideal complement. This work presents an integration of DR and DataVis through a new approach for data visualization based on a mixture of DR resultant representations while using visualization principle. Particularly, the mixture is done through a weighted sum, whose weighting factors are defined by the user through a novel interface. The interface's concept relies on the combination of the color-based and geometrical perception in a circular framework so that the users may have a at hand several indicators (shape, color, surface size) to make a decision on a specific data representation. Besides, pairwise similarities are plotted as a non-weighted graph to include a graphic notion of the structure of input data. Therefore, the proposed visualization approach enables the user to interactively combine DR methods, while providing information about the structure of original data, making then the selection of a DR scheme more intuitive.},

To do this, we use the condensed neighbor algorithm CNN to eliminate redundant data with the normalization of the distance to the centroid of each data subset criterion. This is done, in order to obtain the training matrix of the most optimal model. A selection of neighborhood criterion has been created from the quantification of the balance between the performance of the classification and the reduction of data set (CER). As proof of the test, we performed: (i) CER and (ii) real-time tests with the implementation of the algorithm within the WSN. The result is a data reduction of up to 88 % and a performance of the kNN classifier of 75%. It is concluded that the criterion of neighborhood with normalized distance must be less than or equal to 0.2 and the implementation of kNN with k = 1 obtains the best CER.},

As well, we propose a variant of an existing quality indicator based on the ratio between the coefficients curve of resultant homotopy and that of a less-realistic, reference homotopy. Experimental results depict the effect of proposed TFH approaches regarding its usability and benefit for interpolating images formed by homotopic objects with smooth changes.},

Su diagnóstico se da típicamente en niños, no obstante, en la mayoría de casos este trastorno puede persistir hasta la edad adulta y puede ocasionar diversos impactos negativos en la dinámica social y emocional de los individuos. Dada su transversalidad, el TDAH en niños ha sido abordado desde diferentes campos de las neurociencias, la psicología y la pedagogía. Algunos especialistas afirman que existe una relación entre los síntomas del TDAH con una disfunción de ciertas áreas del cerebro. Otros especialistas definen al TDAH como un síndrome conductual. Esta dicotomía conceptual ha sido objeto de controversia científica durante la última década. Otro aspecto igualmente controversial en TDAH es su diagnóstico, debido a que incluye un análisis exhaustivo del niño y esto requiere, de la formación de los padres y docentes para identificación de síntomas, además de especialistas con varias horas de dedicación. En la práctica, tener un criterio armónico entre las trespartes no resulta del todo factible. Dentro de este escenario multidisciplinario y controversial, este artículo presenta una disertación reflexiva y crítica a modo de ensayo sobre la definición, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de TDAH en niños desde una perspectiva psicopedagógica, neuropsicológica y neurofisiológica.},

abstract = {In supervised learning scenarios, some applications require solve a classification problem wherein labels are not given as a single ground truth. Instead, the criteria of a set of experts is used to provide labels aimed at compensating for the erroneous influence with respect to a single labeler as well as the error bias (excellent or lousy) due to the level of perception and experience of each expert. This paper aims to briefly outline mathematical developments on support vector machines (SVM), and overview SVM-based approaches for multiple expert learning (MEL). Such MEL approaches are posed by modifying the formulation of a least-squares SVM, which enables to obtain a set of reliable, objective labels while penalizing the evaluation quality of each expert. Particularly, this work studies both two-class (binary) MEL classifier (BMLC) and its extension to multiclass through one-against all (OaA-MLC) including penalization of each expert’s influence. Formal mathematical developments are stated, as well as remarkable discussion on key aspects about the least-squares SVM formulation and penalty factors are provided.},

It has also proven to be one of the most interesting algorithms in the field of data mining despite its simplicity. However, CNN suffers from several drawbacks, such as high storage requirements and low noise tolerance. One of the characteristics of CNN is that it focuses on the selection of prototypes, which consists of reducing the set of training data. One of the goals of CNN seeks to achieve the reduction of information in such a way that the reduced information can represent large amounts of data to exercise decision-making on them. This paper mentions some of the most recent contributions to CNN-based unsupervised algorithms in a review that builds on the mathematical principles of condensed methods.},

Broadly speaking, an IM consists of the use of a mixture of dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques within an interactive data visualization framework. The rationale of creating an IM is the need for simultaneously harnessing the benefit of several DR approaches to reach a data representation being intelligible and/or fitted to any user’s criterion. As a remarkable advantage, an IM naturally provides a generalized framework for designing both interactive DR approaches as well as readily-to-use data visualization interfaces. In addition to a comprehensive overview on basics of data representation and dimensionality reduction, the main contribution of this manuscript is the elegant definition of the concept of IM in mathematical terms.},

In this study, a bibliographic re-view of the different models of interactive interfaces for the analysis of Big Data using RD is presented, by considering different, existing proposals and approaches on how to display the information.

One of the most adequate methods for diagnosing and monitoring is via the analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Despite there is a wide range of alternatives to characterize and classify EEG signals for epilepsy analysis purposes, many key aspects related to accuracy and physiological interpretation are still considered as open issues. In this paper, this work performs an exploratory study in order to identify the most adequate frequently-used methods for characterizing and classifying epileptic seizures. In this regard, a comparative study is carried out on several subsets of features using four representative classifiers: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The framework uses a well-known epilepsy dataset and runs several experiments for two and three classification problems. The results suggest that DWT decomposition with SVM is the most suitable combination.},
