Abstract
Over the past decades, underwater robotics has enjoyed growing popularity and relevance. While performing a mission, one crucial task for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is bottom tracking, which should keep a constant distance from the seabed. Since static obstacles like walls, rocks, or shipwrecks can lie on the sea bottom, bottom tracking needs to be extended with obstacle avoidance. As AUVs face a wide range of uncertainties, implementing these essential operations is still challenging. A simple rule-based control method has been proposed in [7] to realize obstacle avoidance. In this work, we propose an alternative AI-based control method using a Long Short-Term Memory network. We compare the performance of both methods using real-world data as well as via a simulator. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system that affects millions of people worldwide. The prediction of this disease is considered a challenge since the symptoms are highly variable as the disease worsens and, as such, it has emerged as a topic that artificial intelligence scientists have tried to challenge. With the goal of providing a brief review that may serve as a starting point for future researchers on such a deep field, this paper puts forward a summary of artificial intelligence applications for Multiple Sclerosis evaluation and diagnosis. It includes a detailed recap of what Multiple Sclerosis is, the connections between artificial intelligence and the human brain, and a description of the main proposals in this field. It also concludes what the most reliable methods are at the present time, discussing approaches that achieve accuracy values up to 98.8%. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
Digital Marketing sets a sequence of strategies responsible for maximizing the interaction between companies and their target audience. One of them, known as Customer Success, establishes long-term techniques capable of projecting the sustainable value of a given customer to a company, monitoring the indexers that translate its activities. Therefore, this paper intends to address the need to develop an innovative tool that allows the creation of a temporal knowledge base composed of the behavioral evolution of customers. The CRISP-DM model benefits the processing and modeling of data capable of generating knowledge through the application and combination of the results obtained by machine learning algorithms specialized in time series. Time Series K-Means allows the clustering and differentiation of consumers characterized by their similar habits. Through the formulation of profiles, it is possible to apply forecasting methods that predict the following trends. The proposed solution provides the understanding of time series that profile the flow of customer activity and the use of the evidenced dynamics for the future prediction of these behaviors. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
In recent years growing volumes of data have made the task of applying various machine learning algorithms a challenge in a great number of cases. This challenge is posed in two main ways: training time and processing load. Normally, problems in these two categories may be attributed to irrelevant, redundant, or noisy features. So as to avoid this type of feature most pre-processing pipelines include a step dedicated so selecting the most relevant features or combining existing ones into a single better representation. These techniques are denominated dimensionality reduction techniques. In this work, we aim to present a short look at the current state of the art in this area. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
This paper presents several case studies that show that it is possible to use clean energy to produce electricity, we have environmental benefits and benefits for the management of the electrical transmission network. In this case wind energy are used.For this work, software was developed in Matlab for the model we developed and the results of this were compared with the results obtained by the simulator Power World.To make the decision to replace generators fossil generators with wind generators, Local Marginal Prices (LMP) were used. Some case studies were created using a model system, with the objective of evaluating the benefits of this allocation based on the LMP.The test network presented in this paper is a 9 Bus network. However, the developed software was also tested on an IEEE 30 Bus network. © 2023 IEEE.
