Energy efficiency and energy saving have become crucial issues in the face of increasing energy demand, the need for sustainable solutions, and concerns about climate change. Buildings, as significant contributors to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, require effective measures for energy optimization that can also be reached by predicting the usage of the building spaces. This paper introduces a data-driven approach combining Internet of Things sensors, Machine Learning, Edge computing, and Federated Learning to predict multi-occupancy in buildings. The proposed approach is used on real data from the ICAR-CNR IoT Laboratory in order to extract insights into occupancy patterns within a multi-occupant environment. Finally, a comparative analysis conducted by varying Federated Learning configurations demonstrates the robustness of the solution.

Advances in Mixed Reality (MR) technologies are reshaping collaborative practices. The seamless integration of physical and virtual elements enhances the perception of the working environment, providing a more enriched collaborative task experience. While revealing intriguing potential across various sectors, wearing head-mounted displays (HMDs) can pose challenges in communication and in understanding others’ behaviours. This paper analyses the main elements of collaborative augmented practices through the case study of Hololiver, a MR system developed to assist surgeons in planning laparoscopic liver surgeries. The work discusses guidelines for designing interfaces to preserve awareness in MR interactions.

Background and ObjectiveChronic pain is a pervasive healthcare challenge with profound implications for patient well-being, clinical decision-making, and resource allocation. Traditional methods of chronic pain detection often rely on subjective assessments and manual interpretation of clinical documentation, which can be time-consuming and prone to variability. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare offers promising opportunities to address these challenges, enabling more efficient, accurate, and standardized approaches to chronic pain *** study investigates the use of AI to detect chronic pain through the automated analysis of clinical notes written in Italian. Leveraging machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques, the research aims to advance the understanding of chronic pain documentation patterns while demonstrating the potential for scalable, data-driven solutions in nursing and medical *** & MaterialsA dataset of 1,008 anonymized clinical notes, including 284 chronic and 724 non-chronic pain cases, was analyzed using advanced machine learning and text-processing techniques. The approach utilized term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) representations to process the text data. Key metrics such as precision, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated to evaluate the model's performance. Statistical analyses compared word count and unique word usage between chronic and non-chronic pain *** AI-based approach achieved high accuracy, with precision (94\%), sensitivity (91\%), and specificity (93\%). Significant differences were identified between chronic and non-chronic pain notes in word count (73.91 vs. 119.86, p = 0.0021) and unique words (57.27 vs. 92.78, p = 0.0006). These findings highlight the ability of AI to distinguish chronic pain cases based on concise, keyword-rich clinical *** study highlights the effectiveness of artificial intelligence in a

Cardiovascular diseases cause the death of almost 18 million people each year. Heart failure takes place when the heart does not pump a sufficient amount of blood to the body and is one of the most common causes of death. Healthcare technologies and Artificial Intelligence algorithms constitute promising solutions useful not only for the monitoring of people's health but also in order to tell which subjects are more prone to this problem, which is information of paramount relevance to save their lives. The goal of this paper is to understand the predictability of mortality of subjects suffering from left ventricular systolic dysfunction who previously experienced heart failures. To perform this important study, a publicly-available data set is considered that contains thirteen pieces of clinical, body, and lifestyle information about 299 subjects. In tackling this data set, not only do we wish to perform classification with reference to subjects' survival/death, but we also wish to automatically extract explainable knowledge about the reasons for the classification proposed. To this aim, we use DEREx, an Artificial Intelligence-based tool that relies on Evolutionary Algorithms and provides users with an easy-to-understand set of IF-THEN rules containing data set parameters. In this way, it performs the selection of the parameters that are the most relevant for the purpose of classification. We have run our experiments following a sound protocol established in the scientific literature for this data set. Our findings show that, apart from automatically obtaining easily interpretable knowledge, DEREx achieves better results in terms of widely-used quality indices as Matthews Correlation Coefficient, accuracy, and F score.

Point cloud data frames are critical, if not indispensable, for precise robot navigation and localization, but training the object detection models for them remains challenging. Many models require labeled 3D objects to train the model. However, the sparse and occluded 3D point cloud data make it difficult, if not impossible, to automate the labeling process. This work proposes a training framework to generate 3D labels on point clouds to tackle the aforementioned challenges. The proposed method takes advantage of the consecutive presence of the same object on different frames to automate the labeling process. The experimental results show that the unsupervised framework trains a robust model for 3D object detection. On the roadside data, the model archives 90.27% AP for scooters and 91.33% AP for cars. On nuScenes dataset, the framework demonstrates the detection precision doubles on IoU 0.25 and IoU 0.5 when the recalls remain similar, compared to the model trained by the MODEST framework.
