With the large amount of information available on the internet, recommendation tasks have grown to be more crucial than ever. Businesses that store digital media on the internet such as video streaming and music streaming platforms, benefit a lot from recommendation systems. A simple yet powerful recommendation system that can give better recommendation performance is always being sought after. Light Graph Convolution Network (LightGCN) is a simplified version of Graph Convolution Network (GCN) for collaborative filtering in recommendation systems. LightGCN architecture includes only the most essential part of GCN for collaborative filtering that is the neighborhood aggregation, it removes the feature transformation and nonlinear activation because both of them contribute little to no effect to the recommendations. The focus of this research is to optimize LightGCN by tuning the hyperparameters using exhaustive search (grid search). The optimized LightGCN model is able to out-perform LightGCN by more than 140% in music recommendation

The increasing amount of information available nowadays has led to a growth in research on recommendation systems. In the context of music, these systems help individuals filter and discover new music and styles based on their common tastes. However, while most music recommender solutions used by streaming platforms are based on individual characteristics, group recommendations are still underexplored. This paper provides a brief analysis of group recommendation systems and their testing, as well as proposes a real-time music recommendation system for groups that consider shared environment contexts, such as time of day and location, to investigate whether contextual information can improve the selection of songs for a group. The study evaluates different aggregation strategies for individual preferences and uses experiments to test the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results indicate that taking into account contextual information improves user satisfaction and song selection for playlists, making the proposed system promising for music recommendation in shared environments.

VANETs make it possible to execute specific vehicular applications, in particular those with the aim of turning traffic safe and avoiding congestion. However, it is difficult to maintain communication between vehicles when these vehicles move dynamically at high speeds. Context-aware systems have been studied as a way to monitor context information from sensors, which can be used by systems to adapt to changes in their environment or in application requirements. This concept is used by VANET protocols and applications in different ways. Quality of Context (QoC) metrics are used to qualify the context information considering different characteristics of sensors and of the information, being a base for systems to decide if it is safe and interesting to use specific information. In this paper, we propose QoC metrics related to the stability of the updating process for a vehicular communication context. In addition, we also analyze the Age QoC metric and show how to calculate it for distinct context information. We simulate scenarios to verify the QoC metrics behavior. The results showed that the proposed QoC metrics can properly qualify the vehicular communication context.

Plant diseases are one of the factors that compro-mise food production goals. Tomatoes are one of the world's most consumed vegetables and are widely affected by various diseases. Tomato cultivation in greenhouses enables continuous production. In this context, this research focuses on identifying diseases in greenhouse tomato cultivation scenarios. For this study, new datasets were created with two image sizes: the Tomato Leaf Image Dataset (TLID) with image sizes of 256 x 256 pixels and 15,256 images, and the Patch Tomato Leaf Image Dataset (PTLID) with patch sizes of 32 x 32 pixels and 227,218 images. Both datasets comprise seven classes, including four types of diseases, two combinations of diseases on the same leaf, and the healthy leaf. Machine Learning techniques have been widely used to identify plant diseases. This work presents two machine learning methods tested with both datasets. In the proposed models, three convolutional neural networks were combined: a customized CNN, VGG19, and Resnet50, along with two voting classification methods using Hard and Soft de-cisions. The evaluation conducted on the datasets demonstrated that using patches significantly improves results, achieving an accuracy of 90.48%. This technique enables the identification of the disease stage.

Quantifying the effect of mutations in the BRCA1 gene is useful for understanding their clinical consequences on breast cancer. Machine learning models can be applied to predict the landscape of protein variant effects that might not be always accessible by experiments. In this work, we propose a simple semi-supervised learning method using a Gaussian mixture model to predict ∼90% of the unlabeled missense variants of the BRCA1 gene collected from the ClinVar database. High-quality embeddings are used as a feature of the protein sequences, extracted using the latest pre-trained transformer-based language protein model. A statistical test show that the protein embeddings are effective and robust for predicting pathogenicity. Further, the lower representations of the features are then fed into the semi-supervised model. The prediction performance of the model only for the labeled testing data achieves an AUC score and an accuracy of 79.27% and 71.58%, respectively. Using our defined pathogenic probability score, we find that ∼94% of variants in our unlabeled dataset are well-separated into either benign or pathogenic classes according to that scoring. Our scores obtain a moderate Spearman rank correlation with the results of established unsupervised variant effect models. Finally, our approach can potentially be developed for more accurate and biologically reliable predictions of the variant effects.

This study presents Glyphforge, an automated visual encoding method that makes use of visual variables that partially overlap. The heuristics utilized to optimize the efficiency of the partial overlap factor were derived from studies centered around visual perception assessments. By combining preprocessing and feature selection techniques, this approach aims to identify and retain a maximum of five key features from a given dataset. A visualization technique utilizing layered multidimensional data glyphs was implemented for the purpose of the visual encoding. This tool considers some use cases for the end users, like manipulation of columns and layers, and inverting the dimensions for the glyph layers.

Within the growth of the music stream companies, the need to classify correctly the musics in their catalogs by genres becomes a really important task. With that, they can suggest songs suitable to the music taste of the user, offering a better user experience. Also, because of the size of their catalogs, this task ought to be done automatically. One way to handle the music genre classification problem is to employ a hierarchical classification approach. In this approach, there is a parent-child relation between the genres, characterizing a hierarchical classification problem. This kind of problem can be tackled by using different approaches, in this paper we investigated the use of the Local Classifier per node approach and different positive and negative training policies. The main contribution of this work is to investigate the impact of different positive and negative training samples policies to train the different classifiers with different versions of the Free Music Archive Database. The computational results show that extracting features from just a part of the music produce similar results from analysing the entire music. In addition, the Random Forest was the best classifier and the less inclusive policy produced the highest scores.

Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations are highly mobile and thus have time-varying network topologies. Such time-varying networks face various challenges due to intermittently available links and devices. Consequently, many routing algorithms that work well on the terrestrial Internet may not be suitable for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations. This paper provides an analysis of the impact that different types of routing algorithms may have on the performance of LEO constellations. The provided study analyses not only link-state routing algorithms, as used in well-known routing protocols for LEO constellations such as Contact Graph Routing (CGR), which follows a Software Defined Networking (SDN) approach, but also distance-vector algorithms, as well as the potential combination of link-state and distance-vector algorithms when network clusters are used in a LEO constellation.
