The technology industry association will participate in initiatives launched by the 5GBarcelona consortium in healthcare, tourism or sustainable mobility AMETIC, the association of digital technology companies in Spain, and 5GBarcelona, the alliance formed to create a neutral, open hub for testing and implementing 5G technology in Barcelona, have signed a partnership agreement to promote 5G [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “Learning from Playing Games”
ABSTRACT: Many baby animals play to understand the world. From this evidence, some psychologists and pedagogists have proposed “gamification” as a technique for better learning… With inconclusive results. Here, Prof. Figueiras proposes a different perspective: To learn from (consciously) playing different kinds of (singular and collective, mainly) games, and even to learn from players. Playing [...]
Weekly Seminar Series: “Binary Re-balance via Likelihood Ratio Invariance”
ABSTRACT: Imbalanced classification problems are those in which populations and (mis)classification costs are very different. They are pervasive and important in many real-world application fields, from Health to Security, including Economy, Industry, Business, and Social Media, to cite just a few. Unfortunately, the powerful discriminative machines seriously fail when applied to these problems –just as [...]

Weekly Seminar: “Two ways you did not know mobile networks could be useful”
ABSTRACT: Mobile networks provide support to a variety of communication-based services that are steadily changing our lives. However, they are also pervasive infrastructures that can be used in unconventional ways unrelated to communication. Specifically, mobile networks can be seen as large-scale remote sensing platform capable of providing fine-grained information about a large (and increasing) fraction [...]
