However, large datasets are required to automatically create these models, which in the vast majority of cases are not available. Therefore, in these environments is essential to have a data generator for each context. In this paper, we propose a synthetic data generation system based on the variational autoencoder (VAE) technique and linked data paradigm, to create larger datasets from small datasets acting as samples. Specifically, a Linked Data-based dataset extractor is proposed, which allows obtaining samples of data in a particular context. Then, a VAE is trained with these samples of data available in a specific context, to learn the latent distribution that characterizes the dataset, allowing the production of new records that are similar to those of the original dataset. Finally, several case studies in the field of energy management are carried out. In one of them, the process that follows our approach is described in detail; and then, another 3 more are considered to evaluate its ability to automate the data generation process for smart energy management. The results show how our synthetic data generation system can be used to obtain synthetic datasets in different energy contexts.","PeriodicalId":156073,"journal":{"name":"2022 XVLIII Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132256696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is essential to have interoperability standards that enable such communication, but although several standards are available for this purpose, in order to make better use of such information, such as making inferences or integrated queries that depend on the semantics of a specific context, such as the public policies of a country, it is necessary to use modeling techniques according to the context. In this sense, this paper presents a solution for semantic interoperability between Health Information Systems, through the use of ontologies. For this purpose, we start from the definition of a Minimum Data Set for Primary Health Care in Paraguay, this Minimum Data Set is used as the basis for the development of an ontology, which for the scope of this work, and as a demonstration, the vaccination area was taken as a scenario. For the ontology validation process, the necessary syntactic interoperability was also implemented to integrate some testing systems and enable the execution of ontological queries.","PeriodicalId":156073,"journal":{"name":"2022 XVLIII Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131579702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems support the radiologist in detecting and diagnosing PE using Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) images. During the last few years, there have been several contributions to this field by applying Deep Learning models, methods, and algorithms. Still, some challenges need to be addressed to obtain better results. This work is based on the Probability-based Mask R-CNN (P-Mask RCNN) model as our starting point due to the promising results when adapting the Mask R-CNN instance segmentation algorithm for PE detection. With the P-Mask R-CNN model as the backbone, we proposed and implemented a methodology that considers the axial slices of a CTPA image and the sagittal and coronal slices by providing additional information to the whole process. As a result of this exercise, we developed a multiplanar instance segmentation method merging the outputs of three segmentation models trained for each of the three CTPA image planes. The results of feeding a CTPA image into each model were combined into a single volume using three different operations: union, intersection, and majority. An additional contribution surpassing the detection of each model was perceived when compared with the radiologists’ annotations. Testing with the CTPA images of three patients and merging with the union operation resulted in a mean positive percentage detection of 48%, compared to 43% of the axial model, 6.3% of the sagittal model, and 4.8% of the coronal model. Intersection and majority operations also managed to obtain contributions from the three models, which could allow the radiologists to focus on specific parts of the volume where there are the most coincidences. The result of this approach is promising and can help achieve a better performance in detecting PE by focusing on improving specific steps of the methodology in future works.","PeriodicalId":156073,"journal":{"name":"2022 XVLIII Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115047295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the Requirements Engineering area must incorporate processes, methods, techniques, and tools that address data protection aspects, especially in line with current regulations. In this context, the present study investigates which approaches to Requirements Engineering currently proposed in the literature support personal data protection. This objective was achieved through a systematic mapping that identified 11 approaches, 4 tools, 3 methods, 2 processes, 1 technique, and 1 language. The results point to solutions addressing distinct sets of input artifacts but with a predominance of privacy requirements as a resultant artifact.

The ‘word’ formed by this ranking is searched in a manually created dictionary and the appropriate ‘meaning’ is chosen based on a robust estimation of the bass. The algorithm was tested using volume estimates produced by a external program and manually defined chord boundaries.
