Cogent argument extensions are weakly admissible but not vice versa

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this research note, we show the relationship between two non-admissible argumentation framework semantics: cogent and weakly admissible semantics. We prove that, while cogent extensions are weakly admissible, the converse is not true.


Evaluation of Deep Learning Models for LBBB Classification in ECG Signals

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This study explores different neural network architectures to evaluate their ability to extract spatial and temporal patterns from electrocardiographic (ECG) signals and classify them into three groups: healthy subjects, Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB), and Strict Left Bundle Branch Block (sLBBB). Clinical Relevance, Innovative technologies enable the selection of candidates for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) by optimizing the classification of subjects with Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB).


Uncovering Magnetic Phases with Synthetic Data and Physics-Informed Training

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We investigate the efficient learning of magnetic phases using artificial neural networks trained on synthetic data, combining computational simplicity with physics-informed strategies. Focusing on the diluted Ising model, which lacks an exact analytical solution, we explore two complementary approaches: a supervised classification using simple dense neural networks, and an unsupervised detection of phase transitions using convolutional autoencoders trained solely on idealized spin configurations. To enhance model performance, we incorporate two key forms of physics-informed guidance. First, we exploit architectural biases which preferentially amplify features related to symmetry breaking. Second, we include training configurations that explicitly break $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, reinforcing the network's ability to detect ordered phases. These mechanisms, acting in tandem, increase the network's sensitivity to phase structure even in the absence of explicit labels. We validate the machine learning predictions through comparison with direct numerical estimates of critical temperatures and percolation thresholds. Our results show that synthetic, structured, and computationally efficient training schemes can reveal physically meaningful phase boundaries, even in complex systems. This framework offers a low-cost and robust alternative to conventional methods, with potential applications in broader condensed matter and statistical physics contexts.


Analyzing Transport Policies in Developing Countries with ABM

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Deciphering travel behavior and mode choices is a critical aspect of effective urban transportation system management, particularly in developing countries where unique socio-economic and cultural conditions complicate decision-making. Agent-based simulations offer a valuable tool for modeling transportation systems, enabling a nuanced understanding and policy impact evaluation. This work aims to shed light on the effects of transport policies and analyzes travel behavior by simulating agents making mode choices for their daily commutes. Agents gather information from the environment and their social network to assess the optimal transport option based on personal satisfaction criteria. Our findings, stemming from simulating a free-fare policy for public transit in a developing-country city, reveal a significant influence on decision-making, fostering public service use while positively influencing pollution levels, accident rates, and travel speed.


Machine Learning Applied to Peruvian Vegetables Imports

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The current research work is being developed as a training and evaluation object. the performance of a predictive model to apply it to the imports of vegetable products into Peru using artificial intelligence algorithms, specifying for this study the Machine Learning models: LSTM and PROPHET. The forecast is made with data from the monthly record of imports of vegetable products(in kilograms) from Peru, collected from the years 2021 to 2022. As part of applying the training methodology for automatic learning algorithms, the exploration and construction of an appropriate dataset according to the parameters of a Time Series. Subsequently, the model with better performance will be selected, evaluating the precision of the predicted values so that they account for sufficient reliability to consider it a useful resource in the forecast of imports in Peru.


Imaging Sciences R&D Laboratories in Argentina

Communications of the ACM

We use the term imaging sciences to refer to the overarching spectrum of scientific and technological contexts which involve images in digital format including, among others, image and video processing, scientific visualization, computer graphics, animations in games and simulators, remote sensing imagery, and also the wide set of associated application areas that have become ubiquitous during the last decade in science, art, human-computer interaction, entertainment, social networks, and many others. As an area that combines mathematics, engineering, and computer science, this discipline arose in a few universities in Argentina mostly in the form of elective classes and small research projects in electrical engineering or computer science departments. Only in the mid-2000s did some initiatives aiming to generate joint activities and to provide identity and visibility to the discipline start to appear. In this short paper, we present a brief history of the three laboratories with the most relevant research and development (R&D) activities in the discipline in Argentina, namely the Imaging Sciences Laboratory of the Universidad Nacional del Sur, the PLADEMA Institute at the Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, and the Image Processing Laboratory at the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. The Imaging Sciences Laboratorya of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the Universidad Nacional del Sur Bahía Blanca began its activities in the 1990s as a pioneer in Argentina and Latin America in research and teaching in computer graphics, and in visualization.
