This article proposes a novel approach that leverages graph theory, machine learning, and graph embedding to evaluate research groups comprehensively. Assessing the performance and impact of research groups is crucial for funding agencies and research institutions, but many traditional methods often fail to capture the complex relationships between...

The mapping and analysis of scientific knowledge makes it possible to identify the dynamics and/or growth of a particular field of research or to support strategic decisions related to different research entities, based on bibliometric and/or scientometric indicators. However, with the exponential growth of scientific production, a systematic and d...

Software projects use mailing lists as the primary tool for collaboration and coordination. Mailing lists can be an important source for extracting behavioral patterns in the software development. A new approach for that is the use of Neurolinguistic theory to determine what is the Preferred Representational cognitive System (PRS) of software engin...

A pandemia provocada pela COVID-19 é caracterizada pela incerteza em múltiplas dimensões, como a forma de transmissão e aspectos relacionados às medidas de mitigação não farmacêuticas, como a prática do distanciamento social. A redução das interações sociais por meio do fechamento de estabelecimentos como escolas e setores econômicos representa um...

COVID-2019 has been recognized as a global threat, and several studies are being conducted in order to contribute to the fight and prevention of this pandemic. This work presents a scholarly production dataset focused on COVID-19, providing an overview of scientific research activities, making it possible to identify countries, scientists and resea...

The dataset is composed of rumors and non-rumors related to COVID-19 collected from three different online sources: (a) the Brazilian Ministry of Health official website, (b) a journalistic initiative named boatos.org focused on debunking online rumors, including COVID-19, and (c) the O Globo news that provides a special track to follow rumors abou...

Described as the capability to understand the emotional state of an individual and often express a response that resonates with it, empathy is a crucial factor for social interactions. However, the ability to express empathy diminishes as people rely more and more on technological resources to interact. Due to fact of being an essential component t...

Empathy plays an important role in social interactions, for example, in effective teaching-learning processes, in teacher-student relationships, and in the company-client or employee-customer relationships, retaining potential partners and providing them with greater satisfaction. In parallel, the Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) support peopl...

Human beings have different cognitive channels by which they perceive and interpret information. One may ‬‬use visual, auditory, and kinesthetic channels for that. Software engineering has been striving for years to improve the practice of software comprehension through the use of be‭‭tter cognitive channels. The area has ‬‬slowly moved towards gra...

Introdução à Mineração de Texto e Avaliação de Performance de Algoritmos; Introduction to Text Mining and Algorithms Performance Evaluation

Information systems that support public sector daily activities generate large data sets. As a large proportion of the data in these data sets are text, Text Mining can play an important role in deriving potentially useful and previously unknown information. The overall goal of this paper is evaluate the performance and quality of three text mining...
