Group Movie Selection using Multi-channel Emotion Recognition
Social activities often done in groups include watching television or movies. Choosing a film that appeals to the emotional inclinations of a varied group can be tricky. One of the most difficult aspects of making group movie suggestions is achieving agreement among members. At the same time, emotion is the most important component that connects the film and the viewer. Current research proposes a methodology for group movie selection that employs emotional analysis from numerous sources, such …

IEEE-GDL CCD Smart Buildings Introduction
As part of the activities of the IEEE-GDL CCD working group of physical infrastructure, this whitepaper is intented to be an initial guide to understand the layers, taxonomy of services and best practices for the development of smart buildings. Open standards are claimed in order to increase interoperability between layers and services. Moreover, two buildings in Guadalajara city, one new and another to renew, are described as a proof of concept under development and being part of the strategy …

Time to jump back into Appalachia! I reached level 95 yesterday.

Gaining or losing perspective for convex multivariate functions on box domains
MINLO (mixed-integer nonlinear optimization) formulations of the disjunction between the origin and a polytope via a binary indicator variable is broadly used in nonlinear combinatorial optimization for modeling a fixed cost associated with carrying out a group of activities and a convex cost function associated with the levels of the activities. The perspective relaxation of such models is often used to solve to global optimality in a branch-and-bound context, but it typically requires suitabl…
