A Data Driven End-to-end Approach for In-the-wild Monitoring of Eating Behavior Using Smartwatches [PDF]

, 2020
The increased worldwide prevalence of obesity has sparked the interest of the scientific community towards tools that objectively and automatically monitor eating behavior. Despite the study of obesity being in the spotlight, such tools can also be used to study eating disorders (e.g.

Gene family amplification facilitates adaptation in freshwater Unionid bivalve Megalonaias nervosa [PDF]

, 2020
As organisms are faced with intense rapidly changing selective pressures, new genetic material is required to facilitate adaptation. Among sources of genetic novelty, gene duplications and transposable elements (TEs) offer new genes or new regulatory patterns that can facilitate evolutionary change.

Strong, recent selective sweeps reshape genetic diversity in freshwater bivalve Megalonaias nervosa [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Freshwater Unionid bivalves have recently faced ecological upheaval through pollution, barriers to dispersal, human harvesting, and changes in fish-host prevalence. Currently, over 70% of species are threatened, endangered or extinct. To characterize the genetic response to these recent selective pressures, we collected population genetic data for one ...

t-SS3: a text classifier with dynamic n-grams for early risk detection over text streams [PDF]

Pattern Recognition Letters, Elsevier, 2020, 2019
A recently introduced classifier, called SS3, has shown to be well suited to deal with early risk detection (ERD) problems on text streams. It obtained state-of-the-art performance on early depression and anorexia detection on Reddit in the CLEF's eRisk open tasks.

Early Risk Detection of Pathological Gambling, Self-Harm and Depression Using BERT [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Early risk detection of mental illnesses has a massive positive impact upon the well-being of people. The eRisk workshop has been at the forefront of enabling interdisciplinary research in developing computational methods to automatically estimate early risk factors for mental issues such as depression, self-harm, anorexia and pathological gambling.

From Quantum Axiomatics to Quantum Conceptuality [PDF]

Activitas Nervosa Superior (2019), 2018
Since its inception, many physicists have seen in quantum mechanics the possibility, if not the necessity, of bringing cognitive aspects into the play, which were instead absent, or unnoticed, in the previous classical theories. In this article, we outline the path that led us to support the hypothesis that our physical reality is fundamentally ...

Radicalized by Thinness: Using a Model of Radicalization to Understand Pro-Anorexia Communities on Twitter [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The rise in eating disorders, a condition with serious health complications, has been linked to the proliferation of idealized body images on social media platforms. However, the relationship between social media and eating disorders is more complex, with online platforms potentially enabling harmful behaviors by linking people to ``pro-ana ...

A test for counting sequences of integer-valued autoregressive models [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The integer autoregressive (INAR) model is one of the most commonly used models in nonnegative integer-valued time series analysis and is a counterpart to the traditional autoregressive model for continuous-valued time series. To guarantee the integer-valued nature, the binomial thinning operator or more generally the generalized Steutel and van Harn ...

Exploiting Social Networks. Technological Trends (Habilitation Thesis) [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The habilitation thesis presents two main directions: 1. Exploiting data from social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc.) - creating resources for text and image processing (classification, retrieval, credibility, diversification, etc.); 2.

Can a CNN Recognize Catalan Diet? [PDF]

, 2016
Nowadays, we can find several diseases related to the unhealthy diet habits of the population, such as diabetes, obesity, anemia, bulimia and anorexia. In many cases, these diseases are related to the food consumption of people. Mediterranean diet is scientifically known as a healthy diet that helps to prevent many metabolic diseases.
