Recently, we developed the Parallel Heterogeneous Architecture Constraint Toolkit (PHACT), which is a multi-threaded constraint solver capable of using all the available devices which are compatible with OpenCL, in order to speed up the constraint satisfaction process. In this article, we introduce an evolution of PHACT which includes the ability to execute FlatZinc and MiniZinc models, as well as architectural improvements which boost the performance in solving CSPs, especially when using GPUs.

The family health strategy in Brazil is a program that aims at universal access to actions and services of health promotion, protection, and recovery. In this nationwide program, teams of health professionals are responsible for attending and promoting health actions to a community of a specific area. These teams perform home visits that will support the patients of their respective target areas who demand special health care. To help in the scheduling process of these visits, we propose a new bi-objective problem and two methods for its implementation. The main method is an Ant Colony Optimization-based (ACO) heuristic. The other one is an exact linear programming algorithm designed to allow for experimental comparisons. Our experiments suggest that our ACO surpassed the exact solver in runtime, reaching the optimal solutions for all the solutions known. Amortized complexity analysis showed that the ACO heuristic has sublinear complexity over the number of patients.

Taxi-sharing is an emergent transport mode, which has shown promising results economically, by splitting the travel cost between passengers and environmentally, by serving more people in each trip. Intelligent taxi-dispatch approaches can also manage demand by distributing taxis according to population density in a city. Current approaches to taxi-sharing recommend passengers share a taxi by matching their origin and destination, and taxi-dispatch approaches simply send more taxis to populated areas. However, each passenger may have multiple preferences (e.g., level of convenience, time, cost, and environmental factors), and require a mechanism that offers options considering these preferences. Similarly, taxi drivers may have multiple preferences (e.g., number of hours to work, minimum revenue per day) that need to be considered during a taxi-dispatch planning process. This paper presents a multi-agent collaborative passenger matching and taxi-dispatch model. Passengers and drivers are modeled as autonomous agents having multiple often-conflicting preferences. Passenger agents collaboratively take actions to form a group for a taxi-share, and taxi agents collaborate to achieve a dispatch plan.

Sentiment analysis is a rather intriguing subject that modern ICT tools enable us to explore and analyze. In this work we perform, to the best of our knowledge, the most wide analysis of sentiment mapping to geographic locations and time through smartphones, in an attempt to both visualize them and also reveal possible correlations and patterns. Our vast dataset consisting of more than 56.000 samples, from 100 individuals, for a time period of nine months, revealed patterns, both in space and time, that are directly linked to geographic locations of users and provide an aggregated real-time insight on how people feel, allowing for a wide range of applications.

Humans are used to express their feelings of selfconfidence/ powerfulness or their distress/sadness through either expansive postures that occupy as much space as possible or closing postures occupying as less space as possible to avoid contact. This conduct suggests that feelings of selfconfidence/ powerfulness or distress/sadness change our body expressions/postures. It can be interesting to assess whether the reverse is also true, i.e. the way we arrange our body at a given moment would affect our feelings. The present research reports an investigation on such argument. To this aim, 50 subjects (25 females) aged between 23 and 31 years were requested to adopt either an expansive (high-powered) or contracted (low-powered) posture for as long as 3 minutes and then asked to bet money in a dice game. The results show that assuming high-power poses favors risk tolerant behaviors and rises feelings of powerfulness. This is not true in the case of low-power postures, which engender a sense of stress, sustained by a significant increase of skin conductance levels. Considerations are made on how to exploit these results for psychotherapy and rehabilitation purposes, as well as, for the implementation of artificial intelligent systems operating as tools for well-being and coaching.

This paper proposes new randomized fitness functions for a genetic algorithm used to solve the satisfiability problem. The fitness functions follow the general idea of probability amplification. The first function is inspired by the Lovász Local Lemma, while the second one is based on a randomized 2-SAT approximation. The genetic algorithm uses some specific components derived from unit propagation. The crossover operator and the restart strategy are designed to benefit from the application of unit propagation. A local search algorithm is applied on the best solution at each step of the algorithm in order to improve it. Competitive results were obtained for different benchmarks when compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.

Managing electrical energy is nowadays a challenge of paramount importance in many countries. One of the numerous problems of this challenge is the one that consists in determining (and managing) the power flows between consumers and producers in a micro-grid (i.e. a local electrical connected network nearly isolated from the main, national level, electricity network), so as to take advantage of the renewable sources, typically solar panel and wind generator, and solicit the main grid (i.e. the global network) the least possible in order to fulfill the demand, for instance. To manage the power flows, we propose in this paper an approach based on agents that represent consumers and producers. They are moved by attractive and repulsive forces, inspired by Newtonian Physics, whose intensities depend on the amount of electrical power available by the ones and required by the others. Experimental results obtained from simulations show that this approach can manage power flows in an open system by avoiding black-out. Moreover, the results obtained show adaptability skills (i.e. producers can be added and removed in runtime).

The demand for mining massive short-text data from the Internet has promoted researches on topic models. There exist many schemes trying to solve the sparsity problems brought by short texts, mainly based on data aggregation or model improvement. Among them, Biterm Topic Model changes the way of modeling topics, which is on document-level biterms and has shown creativity and effectiveness. However, this may ignore those semantically similar and rarely co-occurrent word pairs, which are denoted as global biterms in this paper. Inspired by the successful application of word embeddings in GPU-DMM, we exploit word embeddings to extract semantically similar word pairs from the whole corpus to help discover better topics. We call this model as GloSS, which takes advantages of both the approach to model topics and word embeddings. Experimental results on two open-source and real datasets are superior to state-of-the-art topic models for short texts.

We present a novel automated approach for the computation and verification of preferences in an abstract argumentation system. Various argumentation semantics have been developed for identifying acceptable sets of arguments, however, there is a lack of explanatory justification for their acceptability based on preferences. We present an algorithm which takes an abstract argumentation framework and a single extension (conflict-free set of arguments) as input, and outputs preference relations that explain why a set of arguments are acceptable as opposed to their attackers. We also present an algorithm to verify that the output preferences when used with the given argumentation framework induce the input extension.

This paper studies a variant of vehicle routing problem called Selective Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows and Paired Demands (SPDPTWPD). A visiting sequence of each assigned vehicle needs to be determined by respecting the imposed constraints. Like for other combinatorial problems, the optimal solution cannot be obtained in a reasonable time when the size increases. An approached method is thus chosen as an alternative to tackle this issue. The proposed method integrates particle swarm optimization (PSO) with local searches by considering the diversification of PSO and intensification of local search. To validate the method, experiments are made on the benchmarks from the literature. The experiments are divided into two parts. In the first part, a self-comparison is made to demonstrate the evolutionary capacity of PSO and the efficiency of proposed local searches. In the second part, the proposed method is compared with a genetic algorithm from the literature. The results show that the method is competitive and efficient.
