Versatility of Artificial Hydrocarbon Networks for Supervised Learning

2018 , Ponce, Hiram , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes

Surveys on supervised machine show that each technique has strengths and weaknesses that make each of them more suitable for a particular domain or learning task. No technique is capable to tackle every supervised learning task, and it is difficult to comply with all possible desirable features of each particular domain. However, it is important that a new technique comply with the most requirements and desirable features of as many domains and learning tasks as possible. In this paper, we presented artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHN) as versatile and efficient supervised learning method. We determined the ability of AHN to solve different problem domains, with different data-sources and to learn different tasks. The analysis considered six applications in which AHN was successfully applied. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018.

A Survey on Freezing of Gait Detection and Prediction in Parkinson’s Disease

2020 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Ponce, Hiram , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis

Most of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients present a set of motor and non-motor symptoms and behaviors that vary during the day and from day-to-day. In particular, freezing of gait (FOG) impairs their quality of life and increases the risk of falling. Smart technology like mobile communication and wearable sensors can be used for detection and prediction of FOG, increasing the understanding of the complex PD. There are surveys reviewing works on Parkinson and/or technologies used to manage this disease. In this review, we summarize and analyze works addressing FOG detection and prediction based on wearable sensors, vision and other devices. We aim to identify trends, challenges and opportunities in the development of FOG detection and prediction systems. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Modeling and Control Balance Design for a New Bio-inspired Four-Legged Robot

2019 , Ponce, Hiram , Acevedo, Mario , Morales, Elizabeth , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Mayorga-Acosta, Carlos , Díaz Ramos, Gabriel

Bio-inspired robots have chosen to propose novel developments aiming to inhabit and interact complex and dynamic environments. Bio-inspired four-legged robots, typically inspired on animal locomotion, provide advantages on mobility, obstacle avoidance, energy efficiency and others. Balancing is a major challenge when legged robots require to move over uncertain and sharp terrains. It becomes of particular importance to solve other locomotion tasks such as walking, running or jumping. In this paper, we present a preliminary study on the modeling and control balance design of a bio-inspired four-legged robot for standing on its aligned legs in a straight line. The proposed robot is loosely inspired on the bio-mechanics of the chameleon. Thus, a mathematical modeling, simulation, intelligent control strategy, prototype implementation and preliminary results of control balance in our robot are presented and discussed. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Artificial Hydrocarbon Networks for Online Sales Prediction

2015 , Ponce, Hiram , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes

Online retail sales have been growing worldwide in the last decade. In order to cope with this high dynamicity and market share competition, online retail sales prediction and online advertising have become very important to answer questions of pricing decisions, advertising responsiveness, and product demand. To make adequate investment in products and channels it is necessary to have a model that relates certain features of the product with the number of sales that will occur in the future. In this paper we describe a comparative analysis of machine learning techniques against a novel supervised learning technique called artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHN). This method is a new type of machine learning that have proved to adapt very well to a wide spectrum of problems of regression and classification. Thus, we use artificial hydrocarbon networks for predicting the number of online sales, and then we compare their performance with other ten well-known methods of machine learning regression, obtaining promising results.

Approaching Fall Classification Using the UP-Fall Detection Dataset: Analysis and Results from an International Competition

2020 , Ponce, Hiram , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes

This chapter presents the results of the Challenge UP – Multimodal Fall Detection competition that was held during the 2019 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2019). This competition lies on the fall classification problem, and it aims to classify eleven human activities (i.e. five types of falls and six simple daily activities) using the joint information from different wearables, ambient sensors and video recordings, stored in a given dataset. After five months of competition, three winners and one honorific mention were awarded during the conference event. The machine learning model from the first place scored$$82.47\%$$ in$$F:1$$-score, outperforming the baseline of$$70.44\%$$. After analyzing the implementations from the participants, we summarized the insights and trends of fall classification. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Ethical Design Framework for Artificial Intelligence Healthcare Technologies

2024-01-01 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Ponce, Hiram

The healthcare industry has undergone a profound transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence(AI) and emerging technologies, leading in a new era of personalized treatments and healthcare solutions. However, this technological advancement has not been without its ethical and practical challenges, which have hindered the real-world application of intelligent systems in clinical settings. Numerous international entities have published principles, guidelines, and regulations to tackle these issues, yet a significant gap persists between theoretical initiatives and the practical incorporation of ethical design in intelligent systems. Within this study, we delineate the substantial transformation taking place in the healthcare landscape due to artificial intelligence. We provide a condensed overview of the opportunities and challenges that accompany this disruptive shift. The main goal of this work is introducing an ethical design framework tailored to healthcare technologies and delineating the ethical design process for a machine learning-based support tool designed for Age-related Macular Degeneration risk assessment. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents one of the few documented instances of the practical implementation of ethical design principles in intelligent healthcare systems. © 2024 Springer Nature

Towards Constant Calculation in Disjunctive Inequalities Using Wound Treatment Optimization

2019 , Ponce, Hiram , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes

When using the mixed-integer programming to model situations where the limit of the variables follows a box constraint, we find nonlinear problems. To solve this, linearization techniques of these disjunctive inequality constraints are typically used, including constants associated to the variable bounds called M-constants or big-M. Calculation of these constants is an open problem since their values affect the reliability of the optimal solution and convergence of the optimization algorithm. To solve this problem, this work proposes a new population-based metaheuristic optimization method, namely wound treatment optimization (WTO) for calculating the M-constant in a typical domain known as the fixed-charge transportation problem. WTO is inspired on the social wound treatment present in ants after raids. This method allows population diversity that allows to find near-optimal solutions. Experiments of the WTO method on the fixed-charge transportation problem validated its performance and efficiency to find tighten solutions of the M-constant that minimizes the objective function of the problem. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

A Genetic Algorithm to Solve Power System Expansion Planning with Renewable Energy

2018 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Ponce, Hiram , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Ramírez, Juan Manuel , Hernández, Agustina

In this paper, a deterministic dynamic mixed-integer programming model for solving the generation and transmission expansion-planning problem is addressed. The proposed model integrates conventional generation with renewable energy sources and it is based on a centralized planned transmission expansion. Due a growing demand over time, it is necessary to generate expansion plans that can meet the future requirements of energy systems. Nowadays, in most systems a public entity develops both the short and long of electricity-grid expansion planning and mainly deterministic methods are employed. In this study, an heuristic optimization approach based on genetic algorithms is presented. Numerical results show the performance of the proposed algorithm. © 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
