Social networks have been resorted to as effective platforms for social mobility in many parts of the world. This mobility occurs when social media users exploit their interpersonal relationships, especially their ‘weak ties’ (Granovetter, 1973). Social networks enable their users to be producers of information, rather than mere consumers, and to be socially and politically well-informed. They ...

Efficient parallelization of genetic algorithms (GAs) on state-of-the-art multi-threading or many-threading platforms is a challenge due to the difficulty of schedulation of hardware resources regarding the concurrency of threads. In this paper, for resolving the problem, a novel method is proposed, which parallelizes the GA by designing three concurrent kernels, each of which running some depe...

Drawing ethnography, worker interviews digital ethnography WhatsApp Facebook groups Youtube channels, research highlights: first, cultural marks Colombia interactions between workers, typical American culture; second, role Youtubers as skill ...

Recent advances in state-of-the-art ultra-low power embedded devices for machine learning (ML) have permitted a new class of products whose key features enable ML capabilities on microcontrollers with less than 1 mW consumption (TinyML). TinyML provides unique solution by aggregating and analyzing data at the edge low-power devices. However, we only recently been able to run microcontrollers, f...
