Abstract
We provide a framework for analyzing geographical influence networks that have impacts on visit event sequences for a set of point-of-interests (POIs) in a city. Since mutually-exciting Hawkes processes can naturally model temporal event data and capture interactions between those events, previous work presented a probabilistic model based on Hawkes processes, called CHP model, for finding cooperative structure among online items from their share event sequences. In this paper, based on Hawkes processes, we propose a novel probabilistic model, called RH model, for detecting geographical competitive structure in the set of POIs, and present a method of inferring it from the POI visit event history. We mathematically derive an analytical approximation formula for predicting the popularity of each of the POIs for the RH model, and also extend the CHP model so as to extract geographical cooperative structure. Using synthetic data, we first confirm the effectiveness of the inference method and the validity of the approximation formula. Using real data of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs), we demonstrate the significance of the RH model in terms of predicting the future events, and uncover the latent geographical influence networks from the perspective of geographical competitive and cooperative structures. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
Human mobility patterns are associated with many aspects of our life. With the increase of the popularity and pervasiveness of smartphones and portable devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) is turning into a permanent part of our daily routines. Positioning technologies that serve these devices such as the cellular antenna (GSM networks), global navigation satellite systems (GPS), and more recently the WiFi positioning system (WPS) provide large amounts of spatio-temporal data in a continuous way (data streams). In order to understand human behavior, the detection of important places and the movements between these places is a fundamental task. That said, the proposal of this work is a method for discovering user habits over mobility data without any a priori or external knowledge. Our approach extends a density-based clustering method for spatio-temporal data to identify meaningful places the individuals' visit. On top of that, a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is employed over movements between the visits to automatically separate the trajectories accordingly to their key identifiers that may help describe a habit. By regrouping trajectories that look alike by day of the week, length, and starting hour, we discover the individual's habits. The evaluation of the proposed method is made over three real-world datasets. One dataset contains high-density GPS data and the others use GSM mobile phone data with 15-min sampling rate and Google Location History data with a variable sampling rate. The results show that the proposed pipeline is suitable for this task as other habits rather than just going from home to work and vice versa were found. This method can be used for understanding person behavior and creating their profiles revealing a panorama of human mobility patterns from raw mobility data.

Abstract
Many aspects of our lives are associated with places and the activities we perform on a daily basis. Most of them are recurrent and demand displacement of the individual between regular places like going to work, school or other important personal locations. To accomplish these recurrent daily activities, people tend to follow regular paths with similar temporal and spatial characteristics, especially because humans are frequently looking for uniformity to support their decisions and make their actions easier or even automatic. In this work, we propose a method for discovering common pathways across users' habits from human mobility data. By using a density-based clustering algorithm, we identify the most preferable locations the users visit, we apply a Gaussian mixture model over these places to automatically separate among all traces, the trajectories that follow patterns in order to discover the representations of individual's habits. By using the longest common sub-sequence algorithm, we search for the trajectories that are more similar over the set of users' habits trips by considering the distance that pairs of users or habits share on the same path. The proposed method is evaluated over two real-world GPS datasets and the results show that the approach is able to detect the most important places in a user's life, detect the routine activities and identify common routes between users that have similar habits paving the way for research techniques in carpooling, recommendation and prediction systems.

Abstract
Predictive Maintenance applications are increasingly complex, with interactions between many components. Black-box models are popular approaches due to their predictive accuracy and are based on deep-learning techniques. This paper presents an architecture that uses an online rule learning algorithm to explain when the black-box model predicts rare events. The system can present global explanations that model the black-box model and local explanations that describe why the black-box model predicts a failure. We evaluate the proposed system using four real-world public transport data sets, presenting illustrative examples of explanations.

Abstract
An online data-driven predictive maintenance approach for railway switches using data logs obtained from the interlocking system of the railway infrastructure is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach is detailed described and consists of a two-phase process: anomaly detection and remaining useful life prediction. The approach is applied to and validated in a real case study, the Metro do Porto, from which seven months of data is available. The approach has been revealed to be satisfactory in detecting anomalies. The results open the possibilities for further studies and validation with a more extensive dataset on the remaining useful life prediction.

Abstract
The growing use of data-driven decision systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) by governments, companies and social organizations has given more attention to the challenges they pose to society. Over the last few years, news about discrimination appeared on social media, and privacy, among others, highlighted their vulnerabilities. Despite all the research around these issues, the definition of concepts inherent to the risks and/or vulnerabilities of data-driven decision systems is not consensual. Categorizing the dangers and vulnerabilities of data-driven decision systems will facilitate ethics by design, ethics in design and ethics for designers to contribute to responsibleAI. Themain goal of thiswork is to understand which types of AI risks/ vulnerabilities are Ethical and/or Technological and the differences between human vs machine classification. We analyze two types of problems: (i) the risks/ vulnerabilities classification task by humans; and (ii) the risks/vulnerabilities classification task by machines. To carry out the analysis, we applied a survey to perform human classification and the BERT algorithm in machine classification. The results show that even with different levels of detail, the classification of vulnerabilities is in agreement in most cases.
