This thesis reports research on mapping, terrain classification and path planning. These are classical problems in robotics, typically studied independently, and here we link such problems by framing them within a common ...
Research developed in this thesis is motivated by a vision of a future where social activities and personalized services are delivered in intelligent environments, entering a new era of more natural and wholesome human-machine ...
Although there has been remarkable progress in the pose estimation literature, there are still a number of limitations when existing algorithms must be applied in everyday applications, especially in uncontrolled environments. ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners have become an essential tool in the medical industry due to their ability to produce high resolution images of the human body. To generate an image of the body, MRI scanners combine ...
Up to 85% of the world population suffers from low back pain, a clinical condition often related to the intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (DD). Altered disc cell nutrition affects cell viability and can generate ...
The objectives of this thesis are focused on research in machine learning for coreference resolution. Coreference resolution is a natural language processing task that consists of determining the expressions in a discourse ...
This thesis presents a novel and complete fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. This methodology is specifically designed for selecting classifications in the framework of unsupervised learning systems. ...
(English) In the last two decades, the use of web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) has grown exponentially, providing both consumers (software developers) and providers (companies and institutions that expose their ...
Designing parallel codes is hard. One of the most important roadblocks to parallel programming is the presence of data dependencies. These restrict parallelism and, in general, to work them around requires complex analysis ...
(English) Despite its tremendous potential, it is still unclear how quantum computing will scale to satisfy the requirements of its most powerful applications. Continued progress in the fabrication and control of qubits ...
An optimal performance of a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system means, the CBR system must be efficient both in time and in size, and must be optimally competent. The efficiency in time is closely related to an efficient and ...
Los encargados de recursos Grid pueden autorizar el acceso a sus elementos de cómputo por medio de procedimientos bien establecidos para los clientes, regularmente a través del uso de credenciales criptográficas que en su ...
Automatic Summarization is probably crucial with the increase of document generation. Particularly when retrieving, managing and processing information have become decisive tasks. However, one should not expect perfect ...
Matrix computations lie at the heart of most scientific computational tasks. The solution of linear systems of equations is a very frequent operation in many fields in science, engineering, surveying, physics and ...
Sports analytics is an emerging field focused on the application of advanced data analysis for assessing the performance of professional athletes and teams. In soccer, the integration of data analysis is in its initial ...
Multiple-criteria or multiple-attribute group decision-making is a sub-field of operations research that seek to find a common and representative solution given the preferences elicited by a pre-defined group, over a set ...
(English) Continuous enhancement in hardware technologies enables scientific computing to advance incessantly and reach further aims. Since the start of the global race for exascale high-performance computing (HPC), ...
The thesis describes the application of the relaxation labelling algorithm to NLP disambiguation. Language is modelled through context constraint inspired on Constraint Grammars. The constraints enable the use of a real ...
The modern world is software-intensive. National infrastructures, smartphones and computers, health-care systems, e-commerce... everything is run by software. Therefore, developing high-quality software solutions is essential ...
