PL-kNN: A Parameterless Nearest Neighbors ClassifierDanilo Samuel Jodas, Leandro Aparecido Passos, Ahsan Adeel et al.
Demands for minimum parameter setup in machine learning models are desirable to avoid time-consuming optimization processes. The $k$-Nearest Neighbors is one of the most effective and straightforward models employed in numerous problems. Despite its well-known performance, it requires the value of $k$ for specific data distribution, thus demanding expensive computational efforts. This paper proposes a $k$-Nearest Neighbors classifier that bypasses the need to define the value of $k$. The model computes the $k$ value adaptively considering the data distribution of the training set. We compared the proposed model against the standard $k$-Nearest Neighbors classifier and two parameterless versions from the literature. Experiments over 11 public datasets confirm the robustness of the proposed approach, for the obtained results were similar or even better than its counterpart versions.

A Review of Deep Learning-based Approaches for Deepfake Content DetectionLeandro A. Passos, Danilo Jodas, Kelton A. P. da Costa et al.
Recent advancements in deep learning generative models have raised concerns as they can create highly convincing counterfeit images and videos. This poses a threat to people's integrity and can lead to social instability. To address this issue, there is a pressing need to develop new computational models that can efficiently detect forged content and alert users to potential image and video manipulations. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent studies for deepfake content detection using deep learning-based approaches. We aim to broaden the state-of-the-art research by systematically reviewing the different categories of fake content detection. Furthermore, we report the advantages and drawbacks of the examined works, and prescribe several future directions towards the issues and shortcomings still unsolved on deepfake detection.

Monte-Carlo Sampling applied to Multiple Instance Learning for Histological Image ClassificationMarc Combalia, Veronica Vilaplana
We propose a patch sampling strategy based on a sequential Monte-Carlo method for high resolution image classification in the context of Multiple Instance Learning. When compared with grid sampling and uniform sampling techniques, it achieves higher generalization performance. We validate the strategy on two artificial datasets and two histological datasets for breast cancer and sun exposure classification.
