Abstract
The present work surveys research that integrates successfully a number of complementary fields in Artificial Intelligence. Starting from integrations in Reinforcement Learning: Deep Reinforcement Learning and Relational Reinforcement Learning, we then present Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning since it is applied to Deep Reinforcement Learning. Finally, we present integrations in Deep Reinforcement Learning, such as, Relational Deep Reinforcement Learning. We propose that this road is breaking through barriers in Reinforcement Learning and making us closer to Artificial General Intelligence, and we share views about the current challenges to get us further towards this goal. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Abstract
Diabetes type I is a chronic disease that requires strict supervision. MyDiabetes is a utility application for diabetic users. This application served as basis to develop a logical unit, composed of logical rules, translated from medical protocols and guidelines, to advise the user. The data in the application is a source of knowledge about the user's health state and diabetes intrinsic characteristics. An existing concern is the weak user adherence and consequential data absence. The implemented solutions were gamification and an interface rework. As later confirmed through a survey, users feel captivated by appealing interfaces, achievements and medals. In a near future, we will resume our work with the S. Joao's hospital, with a new trial and volunteers. User testing will be used to validate the gamification techniques.

NEURAL COMPUTING & APPLICATIONS
Abstract
Many text classification problems in social networks, and other contexts, are also dynamic problems, where concepts drift through time, and meaningful labels are dynamic. In Twitter-based applications in particular, ensembles are often applied to problems that fit this description, for example sentiment analysis or adapting to drifting circumstances. While it can be straightforward to request different classifiers' input on such ensembles, our goal is to boost dynamic ensembles by combining performance metrics as efficiently as possible. We present a twofold performance-based framework to classify incoming tweets based on recent tweets. On the one hand, individual ensemble classifiers' performance is paramount in defining their contribution to the ensemble. On the other hand, examples are actively selected based on their ability to effectively contribute to the performance in classifying drifting concepts. The main step of the algorithm uses different performance metrics to determine both each classifier strength in the ensemble and each example importance, and hence lifetime, in the learning process. We demonstrate, on a drifted benchmark dataset, that our framework drives the classification performance considerably up for it to make a difference in a variety of applications.

Abstract
Network security encompasses distinct technologies and protocols, being behaviour based network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) a promising application to detect and identify zero-day attacks and vulnerabilities exploits. In order to overcome the weaknesses of signature-based IDS, behaviour-based IDS applies a wide set of machine learning technologies to learn the normal behaviour of the network, making it possible to detect malicious and not yet seen activities. The machine learning techniques that can be applied to IDS are vast, as are the methods to generate the datasets used for testing. This paper aims to evaluate CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset and benchmark a set of supervised bioinspired machine learning algorithms, namely CLONALG Artificial Immune System, Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) and Back-Propagation Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). The results obtained were also compared with an ensemble strategy based on a majority voting algorithm. The results obtained show the appropriateness of using the dataset to test behaviour based network intrusion detection algorithms and the efficiency of MLP algorithm to detect zero-day attacks, when comparing with CLONALG and LVQ. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Abstract
A main problem for predicting cell line interactions with chemical compounds is the lack of a computational representation for cell lines. We describe a method for characterizing cell lines from scientific literature. We retrieve and process cell line-related scientific papers, perform a document classification algorithm, and then obtain a description of the information space of each cell line. We have successfully characterized a set of 300+ cell lines. © 2020 Owner/Author.
