Evaluating these projects is a challenge due to the difficulty of measuring individual student contributions versus team contributions. The adoption of distributed version control systems like Git enables the measurement of students' and teams' contributions to the project. In this work, we analyze the contributions within five software development projects from undergraduate courses that used project-based learning. For this, we generate visualizations of aggregated Git metrics using inequality indexes and inter-decile ratios, which offer insights into the practices and processes followed by students and teams throughout the project development. This approach allowed us to identify both inequality among students' contributions and development processes with a non-steady pace, rendering a useful feedback tool for instructors and students during the development of the project. Further studies can be conducted to assess the complexity and value of students' contributions by analyzing their source code commits and other software artifacts.","PeriodicalId":413655,"journal":{"name":"2020 XLVI Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125778532","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}

An analysis of the main available databases was also carried out: GTZAN, FMA, AudioSet, RWC, ISMIR, Magnatune, and LMD. There is a scarcity of cultural diversity on these bases, most of which concentrate globally more popular styles such as Pop and Rock, reinforcing the need to include more diverse and culturally identifiable genres, such as Brazilians. The preliminary results obtained demonstrate the adequacy of the recognition process of the main Brazilian musical genres.","PeriodicalId":413655,"journal":{"name":"2020 XLVI Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128612675","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}

Gualán, Víctor Saquicela, Long Tran-Thanh","doi":"10.1109/CLEI52000.2020.00014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CLEI52000.2020.00014","url":null,"abstract":"Effective actions to mitigate air pollution require of availability of high-resolution observations. Low-cost sensor technologies have emerged as an affordable solution to cope with this deficiency. However, since low-cost sensors are built with low-cost materials, they are prone to errors, gaps, bias, and noise. These problems need to be solved before data can be used to support research or decision making. Addressing lack of reliability in low-cost sensor data is a complex challenge that is still under research over several lines (e.g. accuracy estimation of low-cost sensor data). Current approaches in this line involve modeling, bias-correction, and more recently, data fusion methods relying on high-resolution air quality computational models. Overall, accuracy estimation can be reduced to a modeling problem. The focus of this work is studying, testing, and comparing suitable approaches for handling point-referenced spatio-temporal sensor data, particularly classical spatial models, spatio-temporal models, and popular machine learning methods. Among these approaches, Bayesian hierarchical models have a special consideration given the attention they have drawn during the last fifteen years. The benchmark supporting this comparison study is a real-life dataset made up of daily ozone observations taken from the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and meteorological variables extracted from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project (NNRP). The main contributions of this work are: (1) a systematic comparison of three kinds of models, using a 10-fold cross-validation exercise; and (2) a feature engineering method to create covariates meant to harness spatially correlated observations of point-referenced sensor data.","PeriodicalId":413655,"journal":{"name":"2020 XLVI Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134510464","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}
