Extensão da plataforma de visualização INFOVIS incorporando recursos de interatividade

People store data of the most different daily events, to know yourself, detect behaviors, predict events and have an strongly knowledge to take decisions. The growth of the events, results in a large amount of data colected and this data needs to be processed to get value information. This data have a temporal component from the collect process (daily, monthly or annualy) and this need to be consider on the exploration. The exploration based on temporal component can be uni-scale or multi-scale. The data mining goes toward to extract knowledge from large databases and if combined with visualization tools, the data mining can be more effective to detect information. This visualization tools display data and allow user to manipulate and change it by interaction features toward your goal. The user can combine tools and combine the steps of visualization among the tools through messages. This monograph aim to insert interactivity on AdaptaVis architecture model, developed by Shimabukuro (2004), the InfoVis, then extends its ability of exploration and provide a consistent base for the user handle data and extract information

Aplicando Métodos de Mineração Visual de Texto em conteúdo de Fórum de Discussão

We are included in a society where the use of the Internet became very important to our everyday life. The relationships nowadays usually happen through technological devices instead of face to face contact, for instance, Internet forums where people can discuss online. However, the global analysis is a big challenge, due to the large amount of data. This work investigates the use of visual representations to support an exploratory analysis of contents in messages from discussions forums. This analysis considers the thematic and the chronology. The target forums refer to the educational area and the analysis happens manually, i.e. by direct reading message-by-message. The proprieties of perception and cognition of the human visual system allow a person the capacity to conduct high-level tasks in information extraction from a graphical or visual representation of data. Therefore, this work was based on Visual Analytics, an area that aims create techniques that amplify these human abilities. For that reason we used software that creates a visualization of data from a forum. This software allows a forum content analysis. But, during the work, we identified the necessity to create a new tool to clean the data, because the data had a lot of unnecessary information. After cleaning the data we created a new visualization and held an analysis seeking a new knowledge. In the end we compared the new visualization with the manual analysis that had been made. Analyzing the results, it was evident the potential of visualization use, it provides a better correlation between the information, enabling the acquisition of new knowledge that was not identified in the initial analysis, providing a better use of the forum content

PRoSPer: perceptual similarity queries in medical CBIR systems through user profiles

In this paper, we present a novel approach to perform similarity queries over medical images, maintaining the semantics of a given query posted by the user. Content-based image retrieval systems relying on relevance feedback techniques usually request the users to label relevant/irrelevant images. Thus, we present a highly effective strategy to survey user profiles, taking advantage of such labeling to implicitly gather the user perceptual similarity. The profiles maintain the settings desired for each user, allowing tuning of the similarity assessment, which encompasses the dynamic change of the distance function employed through an interactive process. Experiments on medical images show that the method is effective and can improve the decision making process during analysis.

QuMinS: fast and scalable querying, mining and summarizing multi-modal databases

Given a large image set, in which very few images have labels, how to guess labels for the remaining majority? How to spot images that need brand new labels different from the predefined ones? How to summarize these data to route the user’s attention to what really matters? Here we answer all these questions. Specifically, we propose QuMinS, a fast, scalable solution to two problems: (i) Low-labor labeling (LLL) – given an image set, very few images have labels, find the most appropriate labels for the rest; and (ii) Mining and attention routing – in the same setting, find clusters, the top-'N IND.O' outlier images, and the 'N IND.R' images that best represent the data. Experiments on satellite images spanning up to 2.25 GB show that, contrasting to the state-of-the-art labeling techniques, QuMinS scales linearly on the data size, being up to 40 times faster than top competitors (GCap), still achieving better or equal accuracy, it spots images that potentially require unpredicted labels, and it works even with tiny initial label sets, i.e., nearly five examples. We also report a case study of our method’s practical usage to show that QuMinS is a viable tool for automatic coffee crop detection from remote sensing images.

Protecting user privacy in the Cloud: an analysis of terms of service

We present the results of a study that collected, compared and analyzed the terms and conditions of a number of cloud services vis-a-vis privacy and data protection. First, we assembled a list of factors that comprehensively capture cloud companies' treatment of user data with regard to privacy and data protection; then, we assessed how various cloud services of different types protect their users in the collection, retention, and use of their data, as well as in the disclosure to law enforcement authorities. This commentary provides comparative and aggregate analysis of the results.

Avaliação de características que influenciam nos votos de utilidade de opiniões sobre serviços em português

The large number of opinions generated by online users made the former “word of mouth” find its way to virtual world. In addition to be numerous, many of the useful reviews are mixed with a large number of fraudulent, incomplete or duplicate reviews. However, how to find the features that influence on the number of votes received by an opinion and find useful reviews? The literature on opinion mining has several studies and techniques that are able to analyze of properties found in the text of reviews. This paper presents the application of a methodology for evaluation of usefulness of opinions with the aim of identifying which characteristics have more influence on the amount of votes: basic utility (e.g. ratings about the product and/or service, date of publication), textual (e.g.size of words, paragraphs) and semantics (e.g., the meaning of the words of the text). The evaluation was performed in a database extracted from TripAdvisor with opinionsabout hotels written in Portuguese. Results show that users give more attention to recent opinions with higher scores for value and location of the hotel and with lowest scores for sleep quality and service and cleanliness. Texts with positive opinions, small words, few adjectives and adverbs increase the chances of receiving more votes.

Implementação e análise de desempenho dos protocolos de criptografia neural e Diffie-Hellman em sistemas RFID utilizando uma plataforma embarcada

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) identifies object by using the radio frequency which is a non-contact automatic identification technique. This technology has shown its powerful practical value and potential in the field of manufacturing, retailing, logistics and hospital automation. Unfortunately, the key problem that impacts the application of RFID system is the security of the information. Recently, researchers have demonstrated solutions to security threats in RFID technology. Among these solutions are several key management protocols. This master dissertations presents a performance evaluation of Neural Cryptography and Diffie-Hellman protocols in RFID systems. For this, we measure the processing time inherent in these protocols. The tests was developed on FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) platform with Nios IIr embedded processor. The research methodology is based on the aggregation of knowledge to development of new RFID systems through a comparative analysis between these two protocols. The main contributions of this work are: performance evaluation of protocols (Diffie-Hellman encryption and Neural) on embedded platform and a survey on RFID security threats. According to the results the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol is more suitable for RFID systems

Modelagem numérica de dados MCSEM 3D usando computação paralela

Desenvolvemos a modelagem numérica de dados sintéticos Marine Controlled Source Electromagnetic (MCSEM) usada na exploração de hidrocarbonetos para simples modelos tridimensionais usando computação paralela. Os modelos são constituidos de duas camadas estrati cadas: o mar e o sedimentos encaixantes de um delgado reservatório tridimensional, sobrepostas pelo semi-espaço correspondente ao ar. Neste Trabalho apresentamos uma abordagem tridimensional da técnica dos elementos nitos aplicada ao método MCSEM, usando a formulação da decomposição primária e secundária dos potenciais acoplados magnético e elétrico. Num pós-processamento, os campos eletromagnéticos são calculados a partir dos potenciais espalhados via diferenciação numérica. Exploramos o paralelismo dos dados MCSEM 3D em um levantamento multitransmissor, em que para cada posição do transmissor temos o mesmo processo de cálculos com dados diferentes. Para isso, usamos a biblioteca Message Passing Interface (MPI) e o modelo servidor cliente, onde o processador administrador envia os dados de entradas para os processadores clientes computar a modelagem. Os dados de entrada são formados pelos parâmetros da malha de elementos nitos, dos transmissores e do modelo geoelétrico do reservatório. Esse possui geometria prismática que representa lentes de reservatórios de hidrocarbonetos em águas profundas. Observamos que quando a largura e o comprimento horizontais desses reservatório têm a mesma ordem de grandeza, as resposta in-line são muito semelhantes e conseqüentemente o efeito tridimensional não é detectado. Por sua vez, quando a diferença nos tamanhos da largura e do comprimento do reservatório é signi cativa o efeito 3D é facilmente detectado em medidas in-line na maior dimensão horizontal do reservatório. Para medidas na menor dimensão esse efeito não é detectável, pois, nesse caso o modelo 3D se aproxima de um modelo bidimensional. O paralelismo dos dados é de rápida implementação e processamento. O tempo de execução para a modelagem multitransmissor em ambiente paralelo é equivalente ao tempo de processamento da modelagem para um único transmissor em uma máquina seqüêncial, com o acréscimo do tempo de latência na transmissão de dados entre os nós do cluster, o que justi ca o uso desta metodologia na modelagem e interpretação de dados MCSEM. Devido a reduzida memória (2 Gbytes) em cada processador do cluster do departamento de geofísica da UFPA, apenas modelos muito simples foram executados.
