Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, particularly for indoor tasks such as inventory management, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response, are becoming increasingly complex with dynamic environments and their different elements. During operation, the vehicle's response depends on various decisions regarding its surroundings and the task goal. Reinforcement Learning techniques can solve this decision problem by helping build more reactive, adaptive, and efficient navigation operations. This paper presents a framework to simulate the navigation of a UAV in an operational environment, training and testing it with reinforcement learning models for further deployment in the real drone. With the support of the 3D simulator Gazebo and the framework Robot Operating System (ROS), we developed a training environment conceivably simple and fast or more complex and dynamic, explicit as the real-world scenario. The multi-environment simulation runs in parallel with the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm to provide feedback for the training. TD3, DDPG, PPO, and PPO+LSTM were trained to validate the framework training, testing, and deployment in an indoor scenario.

Abstract
Spam reviews are a pervasive problem on online platforms due to its significant impact on reputation. However, research into spam detection in data streams is scarce. Another concern lies in their need for transparency. Consequently, this paper addresses those problems by proposing an online solution for identifying and explaining spam reviews, incorporating data drift adaptation. It integrates (i) incremental profiling, (ii) data drift detection & adaptation, and (iii) identification of spam reviews employing Machine Learning. The explainable mechanism displays a visual and textual prediction explanation in a dashboard. The best results obtained reached up to 87% spam F-measure.
