Abstract
The rapid development of Internet technology and information technology is rapidly changing the way people think, recognize, live, work and learn. In the context of Internet + education, the emerging learning form of a cloud classroom has emerged. Cloud classroom refers to the process in which learners use the network as a way to obtain learning objectives and learning resources, communicate with teachers and other learners through the network, and build their own knowledge structure. Because it breaks the boundaries of time and space, it has the characteristics of freedom, high efficiency and extensiveness, and is quickly accepted by learners of different ages and occupations. The traditional cloud classroom teaching mode has no personalized recommendation module and cannot solve an information overload problem. Therefore, this paper proposes a cloud classroom online teaching system under the personalized recommendation system. The system adopts a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm, which helps to mine the potential preferences of users and thus complete more accurate recommendations. It not only highlights the core position of personalized curriculum recommendation in the field of online education, but also makes the cloud classroom online teaching mode more intelligent and meets the needs of intelligent teaching.

Abstract
Machine Learning problems are significantly growing in complexity, either due to an increase in the volume of data, to new forms of data, or due to the change of data over time. This poses new challenges that are both technical and scientific. In this paper we propose a Distributed Learning System that runs on top of a Hadoop cluster, leveraging its native functionalities. It is guided by the principle of data locality. Data are distributed across the cluster, so models are also distributed and trained in parallel. Models are thus seen as Ensembles of base models, and predictions are made by combining the predictions of the base models. Moreover, models are replicated and distributed across the cluster, so that multiple nodes can answer requests. This results in a system that is both resilient and with high availability. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
In the last years, organizations and companies in general have found the true potential value of collecting and using data for supporting decision-making. As a consequence, data are being collected at an unprecedented rate. This poses several challenges, including, for example, regarding the storage and processing of these data. Machine Learning (ML) is also not an exception, in the sense that algorithms must now deal with novel challenges, such as learn from streaming data or deal with concept drift. ML engineers also have a harder task when it comes to selecting the most appropriate model, given the wealth of algorithms and possible configurations that exist nowadays. At the same time, training time is a stronger restriction as the computational complexity of the training model increases. In this paper we propose a framework for dealing with these challenges, based on meta-learning. Specifically, we tackle two well-defined problems: automatic algorithm selection and continuous algorithm updates that do not require the retraining of the whole algorithm to adapt to new data. Results show that the proposed framework can contribute to ameliorate the identified issues.

Abstract
Traditional explicit authentication mechanisms, in which the device remains unlocked after the introduction of some kind of password, are slowly being complemented with the so-called implicit or continuous authentication mechanisms. In the latter, the user is constantly monitored in one or more ways, in search for signs of unauthorized access, which may happen if a third party has access to the phone after it has been unlocked. There are some different forms of continuous authentication, some of which based on Machine Learning. These are generally black box models, that provide a decision but not an explanation. In this paper we propose an approach for continuous authentication based on behavioral biometrics, machine learning, and that includes domain-dependent aspects for the user to interpret the actions and decisions of the system. It is non-intrusive, does not require any additional hardware, and can be used continuously to monitor user identity.
