Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the inadequate readiness of numerous nations to address diseases that could potentially evolve into epidemics or pandemics, posing risks to health systems and supply chains. Statistical analysis and predictive models were developed to manage COVID-19 and other diseases that harm public health. However, few public-policy decision-support tools are documented in the literature, although several governments have created them. In line with the previous developments, this tool uses socioeconomic features to model the COVID-19 province's mortality rates. This paper presents a tool to predict the mortality rate of a province using supervised learning techniques, named CuraZone. This tool was validated using 196 provinces in Peru for training and considering 31 characteristics. The tool displays the dataset's most essential characteristics, shows the country's mean square error (MSE), and predicts a province's mortality rate. In addition, the tool contributes to the field of Explainable AI (XAI), as it shows the importance of each feature. Highlighted contributions of this work include the support for the decision-making of governments or stakeholders in epidemics, providing the source code in an open and reproducible way, and the estimated mortality rate for specific populations of a neighborhood, city, or country.

Trends, Applications, and Challenges of Chatbot Technology
Abstract
The main objectives of this chapter are to provide an overview of chatbot personality dimensions and to analyze the expected impacts on user behavior. To accomplish these objectives, the chapter provides a detailed review of the main contributions in the literature regarding this topic. It highlights the chatbot personality characteristics that are expected to foster user satisfaction, trust, loyalty, and engagement. This information is useful for both practitioners and researchers, particularly related to customer service, as it provides clear guidance on what characteristics to incorporate in chatbots and on what factors need to be further studied in the future.

Abstract
Anomaly detection in the industrial context, identifying defective products and their categorization, is a prevalent task. It is aimed to acknowledge if training and testing multilabel classification models on textures to deploy on an MCU is possible. The focus is deploying lightweight models on MCUs, performing a multilabel classification on textures for industrial usage. For this purpose, a Systematic Literature Review was conducted, which allows knowing the commonly used machine learning models in industrial products anomaly detection and what methods are used to defect detection on textures. Through the Systematic Literature Review, was possible to understand the range of different and combined methods, the methods used in multilabel classification, the most common hyper-parametrizations and popular inferences engines to train machine-learning models to deploy on MCUs, and some techniques applied to overcome the restricted resources of memory and inference time associated with MCUs.

Abstract
Versioned documents are common in many situations and play a vital part in numerous applications enabling an overview of the revisions made to a document or document collection. However, as documents increase in size, it gets difficult to summarize and comprehend all the changes made to versioned documents. In this paper, we propose a novel research problem of contrastive keyword extraction from versioned documents, and introduce an unsupervised approach that extracts keywords to reflect the key changes made to an earlier document version. In order to provide an easy-to-use comparison and summarization tool, an open-source demonstration is made available which can be found at https://contrastive-keyword-extraction.streamlit.app/.

Abstract
This paper is devoted to present the most recent results regarding the ongoing work carried out in the scope of the STC 4.0 HP project, which aims to automate the finishing process of ceramic tableware at the GRESTEL S.A. industry, focusing on non-circular shaped plates. A collaborative robot is in charge of handling the tableware and making it go around its entire perimeter through a sponge, to perform the finishing. An array, with the distances from the center to the different points of the plate, is applied as data to trace the path that the robot must follow. The final goal of this prototype is to obtain an even finish while maintaining a constant force along the entire perimeter of the ceramic tableware. After carrying out a series of tests, it was possible to conclude that the current approach was able to manipulate 3D-printed tableware made for testing and travel its perimeter to carry out the finishing.

FRONTIERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH
Abstract
IntroductionPerinatal asphyxia is one of the most frequent causes of neonatal mortality, affecting approximately four million newborns worldwide each year and causing the death of one million individuals. One of the main reasons for these high incidences is the lack of consensual methods of early diagnosis for this pathology. Estimating risk-appropriate health care for mother and baby is essential for increasing the quality of the health care system. Thus, it is necessary to investigate models that improve the prediction of perinatal asphyxia. Access to the cardiotocographic signals (CTGs) in conjunction with various clinical parameters can be crucial for the development of a successful model. ObjectivesThis exploratory work aims to develop predictive models of perinatal asphyxia based on clinical parameters and fetal heart rate (fHR) indices. MethodsSingle gestations data from a retrospective unicentric study from Centro Hospitalar e Universitario do Porto de Sao Joao (CHUSJ) between 2010 and 2018 was probed. The CTGs were acquired and analyzed by Omniview-SisPorto, estimating several fHR features. The clinical variables were obtained from the electronic clinical records stored by ObsCare. Entropy and compression characterized the complexity of the fHR time series. These variables' contribution to the prediction of asphyxia perinatal was probed by binary logistic regression (BLR) and Naive-Bayes (NB) models. ResultsThe data consisted of 517 cases, with 15 pathological cases. The asphyxia prediction models showed promising results, with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) >70%. In NB approaches, the best models combined clinical and SisPorto features. The best model was the univariate BLR with the variable compression ratio scale 2 (CR2) and an AUC of 94.93% [94.55; 95.31%]. ConclusionBoth BLR and Bayesian models have advantages and disadvantages. The model with the best performance predicting perinatal asphyxia was the univariate BLR with the CR2 variable, demonstrating the importance of non-linear indices in perinatal asphyxia detection. Future studies should explore decision support systems to detect sepsis, including clinical and CTGs features (linear and non-linear).
