The 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS), the 16h Encontro Nacional de Inteligência Artificial e Computacional (ENIAC), and the 12th Concurso de Teses e Dissertações em Inteligência Artificial e Computacional (CTDIAC) was held from 20 to 23 October, 2020.

BRACIS originated from the combination of the two most important scientific events in Brazil in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI): the Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence - SBIA (22 editions), and the Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks - SBRN (13 editions). ENIAC is a national forum for researchers, practitioners, educators and students to present and discuss innovations, trends, experiences, developments and work in progress in the fields of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. CTDIAC is a satellite event whose goals are to disseminate and award the best dissertations and theses (MSc and PhDs concluded in Brazilian universities from June 2018 to May 2020) in Artificial and Computational Intelligence areas.

In this year, the Symposium on Knowledge Discovery, Mining and Learning (KDMiLe) will be held in conjunction with BRACIS 2020. This sysposium aims at integrating researchers, practitioners, developers, students and users to present their research results, to discuss ideas, and to exchange techniques, tools, and practical experiences – related to the Data Mining and Machine Learning areas.

One of the main challenges for cell segmentation is to separate overlapping cells, which is also a challenging task for cytologists. Here we propose a method that combines different algorithms for cervical cell segmentation of Pap smear images and searches for the best result underlying the maximization of a similarity coefficient. We carried out experiments with three state-of-the-art segmentation algorithms on images with clumps of cervical cells. We extracted features such as coefficient of variation and overlapping ratios for each cell grouping and selected the most appropriate algorithm to segment each cell clump. For decision criterion, we identified the cell clumps of the training dataset and calculated the mentioned features. We segmented each clump by the algorithms and reckoned the Dice measure from each segmentation. Finally, we used the kNN classifier to predict the best algorithm among neighboring k-clumps by choosing the one with the largest number of wins. We validated our proposal on multifocal cervical cell images and obtained an average Dice around 76.6% without using a threshold value. These results demonstrated that the proposed ensemble of segmentation algorithms is promising and suitable for cervical cell image segmentation.

I will present the Doclass, a free and open-source software for the Web that aims to assist in labeling and classifying large sets of documents. As a result, the first version of a system with an architecture composed of a mobile frontend that communicates with a backend through a REST API was published, with satisfactory performance evaluation by the applicant. Other results involve the use of active learning techniques to reduce human effort when performing the classification of documents, as well as the Uncertainty strategy to choose the document to be labeled.

As commodities milho e soja são produtos consumidos em grande escala no mundo. As flutuações nos preços de mercado têm efeitos de longo alcance sobre os consumidores, agricultores e processadores de grãos. Assim, a previsão dos preços desses grãos tem atraído significativa atenção dos pesquisadores. Os modelos de previsão geralmente usam dados quantitativos de série temporal. No entanto, fatores qualitativos externos podem influenciar os dados em séries temporais, como eventos políticos, crises econômicas e o mercado de câmbio estrangeiro. Essas informações não são explícitas nos dados da série temporal e esses fatores podem influenciar a previsão dos valores das variáveis. Os dados textuais extraídos de notícias, fóruns e redes sociais podem ser uma fonte de conhecimento sobre fatores externos e potencialmente úteis para modelos de previsão de séries temporais. Alguns estudos apresentam técnicas de mineração de texto para combinar dados textuais com séries temporais. Porém, as representações existentes apresentam algumas limitações, como a maldição da dimensionalidade e atributos ineficazes. Este trabalho aplica métodos de pré-processamento em séries temporais e usa representações combinadas com dados textuais para prever o preço futuro do milho e da soja. Os resultados indicam que os métodos utilizados podem ser uma alternativa para melhorar o desempenho de previsão em tarefas de regressão.
