Deep learning (DL), a part of machine learning (ML), comprises a contemporary technique for processing the images and analyzing the big data with promising outcomes. Deep learning methods are successfully being used in various sectors to gain better results. Agriculture sector is one of the sectors that could be benefitted from the deep learning techniques since the current agriculture techniques cannot keep up with the rapid growth in population. In this chapter, the recent trends in the applications of deep learning techniques in the agricultural sector and the survey of the research efforts that employ deep learning techniques are going to be discussed. Also, the models that are implemented are going to be analyzed and compared with the other existing models.

Prolifera na sociedade o uso de tec- nologias de inteligência artificial (IA). A maior parte das implementações atuais de IA é baseada na técnica de aprendizado de máquina (machine learning), subárea da IA, denomina- da de redes neurais de aprendizado profundo (Deep Learning Neural Networks – DLNNs) cujos algoritmos “aprendem” a partir de exemplos extraídos do big data. Nesse processo de automação de decisões, intensifica-se o debate da IA ética, concentrado em princípios gerais de aplicabilidade restrita, não traduzíveis em boas práticas para nortear o ecossistema de IA. Ademais, alguns desses princípios, como justiça e dignidade, não são universais e desconhece-se como decodificá-los em termos matemáticos. O artigo pondera sobre algumas soluções para mitigar as externalidades negativas sugeridas por Luciano Floridi, Mark Coeckelbergh e Cetric Villani.

Terrestrial bioacoustics, like many other domains, has recently witnessed some transformative results from the application of deep learning and big data (Stowell 2017, Mac Aodha et al. 2018, Fairbrass et al. 2018, Mercado III and Sturdy 2017). Generalising over specific projects, which bioacoustic tasks can we consider "solved"? What can we expect in the near future, and what remains hard to do? What does a bioacoustician need to understand about deep learning? This contribution will address these questions, giving the audience a concise summary of recent developments and ways forward. It builds on recent projects and evaluation campaigns led by the author (Stowell et al. 2015, Stowell et al. 2018), as well as broader developments in signal processing, machine learning and bioacoustic applications of these. We will discuss which type of deep learning networks are appropriate for audio data, how to address zoological/ecological applications which often have few available data, and issues in integrating deep learning predictions with existing workflows in statistical ecology.

O presente trabalho expõe e examina o resultado parcial dos testes com a Methodology Multicriteria Decision Aid – Constructivist ou MCDA-C, estes realizados no âmbito do PPDG da PUC-PR, em parceria com o PPGD da UNIVALI e a empresa Neoway Informática Ltda. Na perspectiva de utilização da MDCA-C enquanto base lógico-algorítmica aplicada às decisões judiciais, a hipótese central é de que esta é capaz de transcender limites e desafios metodológico-jurídico-algorítmicos. Para tanto, busca-se testar a capacidade da metodologia MCDA-C de incorporar as subjetividades do decisor, in casu, o magistrado, ao tempo em que mantém a coerência e integridade ao replicar decisões judiciais, distanciando-se do trivial ao trazer abordagem multidisciplinar. Sob método procedimental indutivo e método interventivo da MDCA-C, o presente artigo utiliza-se de técnicas de big data, machine learning e deep learning para propor uma calibragem de sistema realizado pelo próprio magistrado. Nesse contexto, a utilização da MDCA-C às decisões judicias busca alcançar um produto final de tamanha precisão a ponto de não ser possível a distinção entre o decisium humano e o realizado pela máquina. A relevância da temática evidencia-se ante a repercussão nacional e internacional de tal aplicação, bem como ante possibilidade de revolucionar o método e atuação do Poder Judiciário brasileiro.

Metagenomics promises to provide new valuable insights into the role of microbiomes in eukaryotic hosts such as humans. Due to the decreasing costs for sequencing, public and private repositories for human metagenomic datasets are growing fast. Metagenomic datasets can contain terabytes of raw data, which is a challenge for data processing but also an opportunity for advanced machine learning methods like deep learning that require large datasets. However, in contrast to classical machine learning algorithms, the use of deep learning in metagenomics is still an exception. Regardless of the algorithms used, they are usually not applied to raw data but require several preprocessing steps. Performing this preprocessing and the actual analysis in an automated, reproducible, and scalable way is another challenge. This and other challenges can be addressed by adjusting known big data methods and architectures to the needs of microbiome analysis and DNA sequence processing. A conceptual architecture for the use of machine learning and big data on metagenomic data sets was recently presented and initially validated to analyze the rumen microbiome. The same architecture can be used for clinical purposes as is discussed in this paper.
