MACHINE LEARNING IN PHOTONICS
Abstract
This communication explores an optical extreme learning architecture to unravel the impact of using a nonlinear optical media as an activation layer. Our analysis encloses the evaluation of multiple parameters, with special emphasis on the efficiency of the training process, the dimensionality of the output space, and computing performance across tasks associated with the classification in low-dimensionality input feature spaces. The results enclosed provide evidence of the importance of the nonlinear media as a building block of an optical extreme learning machine, effectively increasing the size of the output space, the accuracy, and the generalization performances. These findings may constitute a step to support future research on the field, specifically targeting the development of robust general-purpose all-optical hardware to a full-stack integration with optical sensing devices toward edge computing solutions.

Abstract
With the objective of developing new methods to acquire diagnostic information, the reconstruction of the broadband absorption coefficient spectra (mu a[lambda]) of healthy and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma kidney tissues was performed. By performing a weighted sum of the absorption spectra of proteins, DNA, oxygenated, and deoxygenated hemoglobin, lipids, water, melanin, and lipofuscin, it was possible to obtain a good match of the experimental mu a(lambda) of both kidney conditions. The weights used in those reconstructions were estimated using the least squares method, and assuming a total water content of 77% in both kidney tissues, it was possible to calculate the concentrations of the other tissue components. It has been shown that with the development of cancer, the concentrations of proteins, DNA, oxygenated hemoglobin, lipids, and lipofuscin increase, and the concentration of melanin decreases. Future studies based on minimally invasive spectral measurements will allow cancer diagnosis using the proposed approach.

GOOD PRACTICES AND NEW PERSPECTIVES IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES, VOL 1, WORLDCIST 2024
Abstract
This work applies Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, specifically transformer models, for the emotional evaluation of open-ended responses. Today's powerful advances in transformer architecture, such as ChatGPT, make it possible to capture complex emotional patterns in language. The proposed transformer-based system identifies the emotional features of various texts. The research employs an innovative approach, using prompt engineering and existing context, to enhance the emotional expressiveness of the model. It also investigates spaCy's capabilities for linguistic analysis and the synergy between transformer models and this technology. The results show a significant improvement in emotional detection compared to traditional methods and tools, highlighting the potential of transformer models in this domain. The method can be implemented in various areas, such as emotional research or mental health monitoring, creating a much richer and complete user profile.

Abstract
Agriculture being an essential activity sector for the survival and prosperity of humanity, it is fundamental to use sustainable technologies in this field. With this in mind, some statistical data are analyzed regarding the food price rise and sustainable development indicators, with a special focus on the Portugal region. It is determined that one of the main factors that influences agriculture's success is the soil's characteristics, namely in terms of moisture and nutrients. In this regard, irrigation processes have become indispensable, and their technological management brings countless economic advantages. Like other branches of agriculture, the wine sector needs an adequate concentration of nutrients and moisture in the soil to provide the most efficient results, considering the appropriate and intelligent use of available water and energy resources. Given these facts, the use of renewable energies is a very important aspect of this study, which also synthesizes the main irrigation methods and examines the importance of evaluating the evapotranspiration of crops. Furthermore, the control of irrigation processes and the implementation of optimization and resource management models are of utmost importance to allow maximum efficiency and sustainability in this field.

2024 20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE EUROPEAN ENERGY MARKET, EEM 2024
Abstract
The member states of the European Union (EU) are actively reassessing their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) [1] to jointly address climate challenges and the impacts of the COVID pandemic and gas supply crisis. This study extends the analyses described in [2] by assessing the impact of the updated NECP drafts for Portugal and Spain [3], [4] on the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL). For this, we use CEVESA, a market model for the long-term planning and operation of MIBEL that computes the joint dispatch of energy and secondary reserve of the two interconnected single-price zones. Departing from the expected evolution of the electricity generation technologies and demand available in the NECP drafts, joint scenarios for Portugal and Spain are built with the latest CO2 allowances and fuel prices projections and the latest available historical data of hydro and renewable generation profiles. Simulations provide estimates for the expected market prices, technology generation dispatch, and the usage of the capacity of the interconnection lines between both countries, highlighting potential concerns and knowledge on future NECPs.
