The sensor node collects and transmits data on soil moisture, UV radiation, temperature, and rainfall in a cultivation area covering 1000 m$$^2$$2. The data collected by the sensor node is sent to the central node or gateway via LoRa communication, where it is processed and transmitted to a cloud platform called ThingSpeak using the MQTT protocol. The data is displayed in the form of graphs. The analysis, design, implementation, and testing of the wireless link are carried out, and the data is sent to an IoT platform where it is collected, visualized, and analyzed in real-time using MQTT as the central communication protocol. Functional tests are performed, including path loss, receiver power, signal-to-noise ratio, receiver sensitivity, link budget, Fresnel zone, azimuth angle, and elevation angle. Finally, a stable scenario for data transmission and reception is determined, which can be applied to an optimization system for crop cultivation in rural agricultural areas. |

Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: | Links: @conference{10.1007/978-3-031-63437-6_24, The objective of this study is to develop a controller capable of communicating with a web platform for the implementation of gamification in physiotherapeutic scenarios aimed at older adults diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hands, in order to migrate towards the use of technological resources and ICT. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), Azuay is positioned as one of the provinces with the highest life expectancy, projecting a life expectancy of 79 years in 2020. This situation is related to a high incidence rate of osteoarthritis in the elderly, which makes this project relevant for this population. The proposal combines the categories of software, music, video games and electronics in a web platform that serves as a complementary therapy, using a controller as a manipulation tool. For the theoretical foundation, data was obtained from different academic repositories, following a qualitative, transcendental, experimental, explanatory approach. The evaluation of the project was carried out through the application of a questionnaire based on the LIKERT scale, in which the teachers evaluated the project and gave their opinion as judges. This study represents a significant contribution to the field of non-pharmacological therapy and the implementation of technology in the care of older adults with osteoarthritis of the hands. |

Kernelized Extension for Multiple-Expert-Learning Classifiers Using Support Vector Machines Conference Intelligent Computing, Springer Nature Switzerland, Cham, 2024, ISBN: 978-3-031-62273-1. Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: | Links: @conference{10.1007/978-3-031-62273-1_5, The primary goal for supervised machine learning techniques is to make accurate predictions or classifications based on prior knowledge about the relationships between the input features and their corresponding label assignment. The latter is often difficult to be determine, especially when the ground truth is not unique but instead, a combined decision from a group of experts is given. One way to tackle this challenge is by using Multiple Expert Learning (MEL)-driven classifiers. In this regard, approaches based on Soft-margin support vector machines (SM-SVM) including penalty factors for each labeler have shown to be a suitable alternative as they can learn from experts holding different levels of trustworthiness. Nonetheless, dealing with nonlinear (complex structure) and hardly separable data is still an open issue. To address these problems, this work presents mathematical developments on SVM for MEL scenarios in a fully matrix formulation. As a remarkable contribution, we introduce a kernel extension of the SM-SVM problem for MEL scenarios together with a complete solution following from a quadratic programming approach. |

Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: BPM, Heart rate, Piezoelectric, Pulse Detection | Links: @article{Cepeda2022, Real-time vital signs monitoring, particularly heart rate, is essential in today's medical practice and research. Heart rate detection allows the doctor to monitor the patient's health status to provide immediate action against possible cardiovascular diseases. We present a possible alternative to traditional heart rate signal monitoring systems, a cardiac pulse system using low-cost piezoelectric signal identification. This system could benefit health care and develop continuous pulse waveform monitoring systems. This paper introduces a heartbeat per minute (BPM) cardiac pulse detection system based on a low-cost piezoelectric ceramic sensor (PCS). The PCS is placed under the wrist and adjusted with a silicone wristband to measure the pressure exerted by the radial artery on the sensor and thus obtain the patient's BPM. We propose a signal conditioning stage to reduce the sensor's noise when acquiring the data and make it suitable for real-time BPM visualization. As a comparison, we performed a statistical test to compare the low-cost PCS with types of traditional sensors, along with the help of 21 volunteers. Experimental results show that the data collected by the PCS, when used for heart rate detection, is highly accurate and close to traditional sensor measurements. Therefore, we conclude that the system efficiently monitors the cardiac pulse signal in BPM. |

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. |

The finance market typically uses a set of expert labelers or Bureau credit scores given by governmental or private agencies such as Experian, Equifax, and Creditinfo, among others. This work focuses on introducing a so-named Bag of Expert (BoE): a novel approach for creating multi-expert Learning (MEL) frameworks aimed to emulate real experts labeling (human-given labels) using neural networks. The MEL systems “learn” to perform decision-making tasks by considering a uniform number of labels per sample or individuals along with respective descriptive variables. The BoE is created similarly to Generative Adversarial Network (GANs), but rather than using noise or perturbation by a generator, we trained a feed-forward neural network to randomize sampling data, and either add or decrease hidden neurons. Additionally, this paper aims to investigate the performance on economics-related datasets of several state-of-the-art MEL methods, such as GPC, GPC-PLAT, KAAR, MA-LFC, MA-DGRL, and MA-MAE. To do so, we develop an experimental framework composed of four tests: the first one using novice experts; the second with proficient experts; the third is a mix of novices, intermediate and proficient experts, and the last one uses crowd-sourcing. Our BoE method presents promising results and can be suitable as an alternative to properly assess the reliability of both MEL methods and conventional labeler generators (i.e., virtual expert labelers). |

Part II, 2020, ISBN: 978-3-030-58801-4. Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: Data visualization, Dimensionality reduction, Interaction model Kernel functions | Links: @conference{ortega2020, This letter formally introduces the concept of interaction model (IM), which has been used either directly or tangentially in previous works but never defined. 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. |

Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: ANFIS, cardiac murmur, empirical mode decomposition, hidden markov models, phonocardiogram. | Links: @article{becerra2020, Abstract: Cardiac murmurs (CMs) are the most common heart’s diseases that are typically diagnosed from phonocardiogram (PCG) and echocardiogram tests -often supported by computerized systems. Research works have traditionally addressed the automatic CM diagnosis with no distinctively use of the four auscultation areas (one of each cardiac valve), resulting -most probably- in a constrained, nonimpartial diagnostic procedure. This study presents a comparison among four different CM detection systems from a 4-channel PCG. We first evaluate the acoustic characteristics derived from Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and statistical measures. Secondly, a relevance analysis is carried out using Fuzzy Rough Feature Selection. Thirdly, Hidden Markov Models (HMM), Adaptative Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Naïve Bayes, and Gaussian Mixture Model were applied for classification and validated using a 50-fold cross-validation procedure with a 70/30 split demonstrating the functionality and capability of EMD, Hidden Markov Model and ANFIS for CM classification. |

The principal rationale underlying the use of multiple classifiers is that together the methods may be powered rather than their individual behavior. Such a premise is validated through the identification of the best the combination reaching the lowest error rate within a case-based reasoning system (CBR). The different combinations are essentially formed by five different classifiers greatly different regarding their nature and inception: SVM (Support Vector Machines), Parzen, Random Forest, K-NN (k-nearest neighbors) and Naive Bayes. From experimental results, it can be inferred that the combination of techniques is greatly useful. Also, in this work, some key aspects and hints are discussed about the relationship between the nature of the input data and the classification (either individual or mixture of classifiers) stage building within a CBR framework. |

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. |

For this, a stage of prototypes selection and a comparison of classification algorithms (CA) is carried out. Finally, a quantitative measure of equilibrium between both criteria is established for its proper selection. As a result, the k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm with k = 5 achieves a 96% performance and a 50% training matrix reduction. |

Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: dispositivos electrónicos, enseñanza lúdica, innovación tecnológica, metodologías lúdicas, Motricidad gruesa | Links: @conference{Anrrango2018, 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. |

Abstract | BibTeX | Etiquetas: Data visualization, Dimensionality reduction, Interactive interface, Pairwise similarity | Links: @conference{10.1007/978-3-319-92537-0_64, 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. |

Studied/introduced approaches extend the linear mapping to other representations that provides smooth transitions when deforming objects while homotopy conditions are fulfilled. Such homotopy approaches are based on transcendental functions (TFH) in both simple and parametric versions. 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. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Etiquetas: @conference{10.1007/978-3-031-62273-1_5, The primary goal for supervised machine learning techniques is to make accurate predictions or classifications based on prior knowledge about the relationships between the input features and their corresponding label assignment. The latter is often difficult to be determine, especially when the ground truth is not unique but instead, a combined decision from a group of experts is given. One way to tackle this challenge is by using Multiple Expert Learning (MEL)-driven classifiers. In this regard, approaches based on Soft-margin support vector machines (SM-SVM) including penalty factors for each labeler have shown to be a suitable alternative as they can learn from experts holding different levels of trustworthiness. Nonetheless, dealing with nonlinear (complex structure) and hardly separable data is still an open issue. To address these problems, this work presents mathematical developments on SVM for MEL scenarios in a fully matrix formulation. As a remarkable contribution, we introduce a kernel extension of the SM-SVM problem for MEL scenarios together with a complete solution following from a quadratic programming approach. |

Considering that few models of citizen participatory processes exist, this article aims to describe the process used by market administrators and municipal authorities to change the management model from a public market to a private market. Following Yin’s suggestions, we used the qualitative case study method in four stages: study planning, data collection (interviews and documentation), data analysis, and presentation of results. The product we obtained is a framework that describes the participatory process used to change the management model of the market from public to private. The conclusions we reached for the market management change process to be successful were that political will on the part of the authorities, empowerment of civil society in decision-making, and the leadership of a woman belonging to the market are necessary |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Etiquetas: BPM, Heart rate, Piezoelectric, Pulse Detection @article{Cepeda2022, Real-time vital signs monitoring, particularly heart rate, is essential in today's medical practice and research. Heart rate detection allows the doctor to monitor the patient's health status to provide immediate action against possible cardiovascular diseases. We present a possible alternative to traditional heart rate signal monitoring systems, a cardiac pulse system using low-cost piezoelectric signal identification. This system could benefit health care and develop continuous pulse waveform monitoring systems. This paper introduces a heartbeat per minute (BPM) cardiac pulse detection system based on a low-cost piezoelectric ceramic sensor (PCS). The PCS is placed under the wrist and adjusted with a silicone wristband to measure the pressure exerted by the radial artery on the sensor and thus obtain the patient's BPM. We propose a signal conditioning stage to reduce the sensor's noise when acquiring the data and make it suitable for real-time BPM visualization. As a comparison, we performed a statistical test to compare the low-cost PCS with types of traditional sensors, along with the help of 21 volunteers. Experimental results show that the data collected by the PCS, when used for heart rate detection, is highly accurate and close to traditional sensor measurements. Therefore, we conclude that the system efficiently monitors the cardiac pulse signal in BPM. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Etiquetas: Multiple expert learning, Supervised Learning, Support Vector Machines @conference{umaquinga2021SVM, 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. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Etiquetas: Classification, Nearest neighbor algorithms, Prototypes @conference{fernandez2021_, The condensed nearest neighbor (CNN) classifier is one of the techniques used and known to perform recognition tasks. 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. |

Specifically, the method known as kernel spectral clustering (KSC) is of interest. We explore the links between KSC and a weighted version of kernel principal component analysis (WKPCA). Also, we study the solution of the KSC problem by means of a primal-dual scheme. All mathematical developments are carried out following an entirely matrix formulation. As a result, in addition to the elegant KSC formulation, important insights and hints about the use and design of kernel-based approaches for clustering are provided.

Exploramos los enlaces entre KSC y una versión ponderada del análisis de componentes principales del núcleo (WKPCA). Además, estudiamos la solución del problema KSC por medio de un esquema primal-dual. Todos los desarrollos matemáticos se llevan a cabo siguiendo una formulación completamente matricial.

The finance market typically uses a set of expert labelers or Bureau credit scores given by governmental or private agencies such as Experian, Equifax, and Creditinfo, among others. This work focuses on introducing a so-named Bag of Expert (BoE): a novel approach for creating multi-expert Learning (MEL) frameworks aimed to emulate real experts labeling (human-given labels) using neural networks. The MEL systems “learn” to perform decision-making tasks by considering a uniform number of labels per sample or individuals along with respective descriptive variables. The BoE is created similarly to Generative Adversarial Network (GANs), but rather than using noise or perturbation by a generator, we trained a feed-forward neural network to randomize sampling data, and either add or decrease hidden neurons. Additionally, this paper aims to investigate the performance on economics-related datasets of several state-of-the-art MEL methods, such as GPC, GPC-PLAT, KAAR, MA-LFC, MA-DGRL, and MA-MAE. To do so, we develop an experimental framework composed of four tests: the first one using novice experts; the second with proficient experts; the third is a mix of novices, intermediate and proficient experts, and the last one uses crowd-sourcing. Our BoE method presents promising results and can be suitable as an alternative to properly assess the reliability of both MEL methods and conventional labeler generators (i.e., virtual expert labelers). |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Etiquetas: Data visualization, Dimensionality reduction, Interaction model Kernel functions @conference{ortega2020, This letter formally introduces the concept of interaction model (IM), which has been used either directly or tangentially in previous works but never defined. 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. |

Research works have traditionally addressed the automatic CM diagnosis with no distinctively use of the four auscultation areas (one of each cardiac valve), resulting -most probably- in a constrained, nonimpartial diagnostic procedure. This study presents a comparison among four different CM detection systems from a 4-channel PCG. We first evaluate the acoustic characteristics derived from Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and statistical measures. Secondly, a relevance analysis is carried out using Fuzzy Rough Feature Selection. Thirdly, Hidden Markov Models (HMM), Adaptative Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Naïve Bayes, and Gaussian Mixture Model were applied for classification and validated using a 50-fold cross-validation procedure with a 70/30 split demonstrating the functionality and capability of EMD, Hidden Markov Model and ANFIS for CM classification. |

The principal rationale underlying the use of multiple classifiers is that together the methods may be powered rather than their individual behavior. Such a premise is validated through the identification of the best the combination reaching the lowest error rate within a case-based reasoning system (CBR). The different combinations are essentially formed by five different classifiers greatly different regarding their nature and inception: SVM (Support Vector Machines), Parzen, Random Forest, K-NN (k-nearest neighbors) and Naive Bayes. From experimental results, it can be inferred that the combination of techniques is greatly useful. Also, in this work, some key aspects and hints are discussed about the relationship between the nature of the input data and the classification (either individual or mixture of classifiers) stage building within a CBR framework. |
