Abstract
Phishing attacks aims to steal sensitive information and, unfortunately, are becoming a common practice on the web. Email phishing is one of the most common types of attacks on the web and can have a big impact on individuals and enterprises. There is still a gap in prevention when it comes to detecting phishing emails, as new attacks are usually not detected. The goal of this work was to develop a model capable of identifying phishing emails based on machine learning approaches. The work was performed in collaboration with E-goi, a multi-channel marketing automation company. The data consisted of emails collected from the E-goi servers in the electronic mail format. The problem consisted of a classification problem with unbalanced classes, with the minority class corresponding to the phishing emails and having less than 1% of the total emails. Several models were evaluated after careful data selection and feature extraction based on the email content and the literature regarding these types of problems. Due to the imbalance present in the data, several sampling methods based on under-sampling techniques were tested to see their impact on the model's ability to detect phishing emails. The final model consisted of a neural network able to detect more than 80% of phishing emails without compromising the remaining emails sent by E-goi clients.

Abstract
Emotions encompass physiological systems that can be assessed through biosignals like electromyography and electrocardiography. Prior investigations in emotion recognition have primarily focused on general population samples, overlooking the specific context of theatre actors who possess exceptional abilities in conveying emotions to an audience, namely acting emotions. We conducted a study involving 11 professional actors to collect physiological data for acting emotions to investigate the correlation between biosignals and emotion expression. Our contribution is the DECEiVeR (DatasEt aCting Emotions Valence aRousal) dataset, a comprehensive collection of various physiological recordings meticulously curated to facilitate the recognition of a set of five emotions. Moreover, we conduct a preliminary analysis on modeling the recognition of acting emotions from raw, low- and mid-level temporal and spectral data and the reliability of physiological data across time. Our dataset aims to leverage a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between biosignals and emotional expression. It provides valuable insights into acting emotion recognition and affective computing by exposing the degree to which biosignals capture emotions elicited from inner stimuli.

Abstract
Extensive computational research has been dedicated to detecting keys and modes in tonal Western music within the major and minor modes. Little research has been dedicated to other modes and musical expressions, such as folk or non-Western music. This paper tackles this limitation by comparing traditional template-based with unsupervised machine-learning methods for diatonic mode detection within folk music. Template-based methods are grounded in music theory and cognition and use predefined profiles from which we compare a musical piece. Unsupervised machine learning autonomously discovers patterns embedded in the data. As a case study, the authors apply the methods to a dataset of Irish folk music called The Session on four diatonic modes: Ionian, Dorian, Mixolydian, and Aeolian. Our evaluation assesses the performance of template-based and unsupervised methods, reaching an average accuracy of about 80%. We discuss the applicability of the methods, namely the potential of unsupervised learning to process unknown musical sources beyond modes with predefined templates.

Abstract
We introduce a novel perspective on set-class analysis combining the DFT magnitudes with the music visualisation technique of wavescapes. With such a combination, we create a visual representation of a piece's multidimensional qualia, where different colours indicate saliency in chromaticity, diadicity, triadicity, octatonicity, diatonicity, and whole-tone quality. At the centre of our methods are: 1) the formal definition of the Fourier Qualia Space (FQS), 2) its particular ordering of DFT coefficients that delineate regions linked to different musical aesthetics, and 3) the mapping of such regions into a coloured wavescape. Furthermore, we demonstrate the intrinsic capability of the FQS to express qualia ambiguity and map it into a synopsis wavescape. Finally, we showcase the application of our methods by presenting a few analytical remarks on Bach's Three-part Invention BWV 795, Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau, andWebern's Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 7, No. 1, unveiling increasingly ambiguous wavescapes.

Abstract
Expanding upon the potential of generative machine learning to create atemporal latent space representations of musical-theoretical and cognitive interest, we delve into their explainability by formulating and testing hypotheses on their alignment with DFT phase spaces from {0, 1}(12) pitch classes and {0, 1}(128) pitch distributions - capturing common-tone tonal functional harmony and parsimonious voice-leading principles, respectively. We use 371 J.S. Bach chorales as a benchmark to train a Variational Autoencoder on a representative piano roll encoding. The Spearman rank correlation between the latent space and the two before-mentioned DFT phase spaces exhibits a robust rank association of approximately .65 +/- .05 for pitch classes and .61 +/- .05 for pitch distributions, denoting an effective preservation of harmonic functional clusters per region and parsimonious voice-leading. Furthermore, our analysis prompts essential inquiries about the stylistic characteristics inferred from the rank deviations to the DFT phase space and the balance between the two DFT phase spaces.

Abstract
We introduce a computational model that quantifies melodic pitch attraction in diatonic modal folk music, extending Lerdahl's Tonal Pitch Space. The model incorporates four melodic pitch indicators: vertical embedding distance, horizontal step distance, semitone interval distance, and relative stability. Its scalability is exclusively achieved through prior mode and tonic information, eliminating the need in existing models for additional chordal context. Noteworthy contributions encompass the incorporation of empirically-driven folk music knowledge and the calculation of indicator weights. Empirical evaluation, spanning Dutch, Irish, and Spanish folk traditions across Ionian, Dorian, Mixolydian, and Aeolian modes, uncovers a robust linear relationship between melodic pitch transitions and the pitch attraction model infused with empirically-derived knowledge. Indicator weights demonstrate cross-tradition generalizability, highlighting the significance of vertical embedding distance and relative stability. In contrast, semitone and horizontal step distances assume residual and null functions, respectively.
