We present GeoSRS, a hybrid recommender system for a popular location-based social network (LBSN), in which users are able to write short reviews on the places of interest they visit. Using state-of-the-art text mining techniques, our system recommends locations to users using as source the whole set of text reviews in addition to their geographical location. To evaluate our system, we have collected our own data sets by crawling the social network Foursquare. To do this efficiently, we propose the use of a parallel version of the Quadtree technique, which may be applicable to crawling/exploring other spatially distributed sources. Finally, we study the performance of GeoSRS on our collected data set and conclude that by combining sentiment analysis and text modeling, GeoSRS generates more accurate recommendations. The performance of the system improves as more reviews are available, which further motivates the use of large-scale crawling techniques such as the Quadtree. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Cumulated burden of COVID-19 in Spain from a Bayesian perspective

David Morina, Amanda Fernandez-Fontelo, Alejandra Cabana, Argimiro Arratia, Gustavo Avalos, Pedro Puig

Summary: This study estimated the actual number of COVID-19 cases in Spain using a hierarchical Bayesian model, showing that the real case load was significantly higher than officially reported. The results were found to be quite accurate when compared with the results of a second wave of the Spanish seroprevalence study.

Clustering assessment in weighted networks

Argimiro Arratia, Marti Renedo Mirambell

Summary: The study introduces a systematic approach for validating clustering results on weighted networks, assessing significance and stability through community scoring functions and a non-parametric bootstrap method. Testing on synthetic and real world networks identifies best performing algorithms, suggesting adequacy for cases with unknown clustering structures. The methods are implemented in R and will be released in the upcoming clustAnalytics package.

Tracking a Well Diversified Portfolio with Maximum Entropy in the Mean

Argimiro Arratia, Henryk Gzyl, Silvia Mayoral

Summary: This work presents a method to improve the return of a well diversified portfolio while maintaining its diversification. By constructing a neighborhood of the portfolio and using the maximum entropy in the mean method, a portfolio that maximizes the return within that neighborhood is found. The implicit advantage of this method is that the resulting portfolio will also have acceptable risk and diversification if the benchmark portfolio meets those criteria.

A Value Co-Creation Perspective on Data Labeling in Hybrid Intelligence Systems: A Design Study

Mahei Manhai Li, Philipp Reinhard, Christoph Peters, Sarah Oeste-Reiss, Jan Marco Leimeister

Summary: This article introduces a novel human-in-the-loop (HIL) design for ITSM support ticket recommendations by incorporating a value co-creation perspective. The design incentivizes ITSM agents to provide labels during their everyday ticket-handling procedures, and the evaluation shows that recommendations after label improvement have increased user ratings.

Discovery, simulation, and optimization of business processes with differentiated resources

Orlenys Lopez-Pintado, Marlon Dumas, Jonas Berx

Summary: Business process simulation is a versatile technique that predicts the impact of changes on process performance. However, previous approaches have limitations due to their treatment of resources as undifferentiated entities. This article addresses this issue by proposing a new simulation approach that treats each resource as an individual entity with its own performance and availability. The article also presents methods for discovering simulation models with differentiated resources and optimizing resource availability calendars. Empirical evaluation demonstrates that differentiated resource models better replicate cycle time distributions and work rhythm, and iterative optimization of resource allocations and calendars leads to improved cost-time tradeoffs.
