The present proposal is divided into four research lines, namely: 1) Production Optimization (RL1) - Reservoir Modeling; 2) Production Optimization (RL2) - Artificial Lift and Flow Assurance; 3) EOR/IOR (RL3); and 4) Water Handling (RL4). In the Reservoir Modeling plan, the initial application (first years of project) will be in a reservoir with the characteristics of the Peregrino field …
In this research project, we focus on synchronizing specific events in space and time (X-coherence), fact-checking, and mining persons, objects and contents of interest from various and heterogeneous sources including - but not limited to - the internet, social media and surveillance imagery. For that, we seek to harness information from various media sources and synchronize the multiple …
Executive SummaryThis project aims at renewing one server that makes up our computational infrastructure processing cluster at the Institute of Computing, Unicamp, for managing the Data Center. The objective is to acquire a server to replace some servers that are more than 10 years old. This proposal aims to benefit all users of the institute, with a direct impact on the research, teachin…
This project´s purpose is the conclusion of the Data Center infrastructure for the Institute of Computing of the University of Campinas - Unicamp, which comprehends the installation of an access control and alarm monitoring system, fire alarm system, switches and GBICs for the implementation of an architectural networking of 10GBs, and the acquisition of two new servers for the Institutes…
Digital documents (e.g., images, videos) are everywhere --- from our cell phones to the pages of our online news sites. How we choose to use digital document processing tools raises a surprising host of legal and ethical questions that we must address. Is tampering with an image appropriate in cases where the image might affect public behavior? Does an image represent a crime, or is it si…

In this research, we are mainly aimed at answering the question of how to find possible relationships among images from different moments in time (e.g., how different image pieces contribute to create a composite one). This research will allow the development of a series of solutions to analyze the provenance of a visual asset allowing us to check its veracity and to pinpoint the pieces t…
In this project, we will leverage reservoir control and management (as example, the use of WAG injectionand/or advanced well control) methods to induce producing more oil production in oil field. Each oftechniques to be applied may have very different operations and, in this research, we will develop theappropriate machine-learning methods to evaluate data associate with each one of them …
Our ultimate objective in this research is to infer the chronological ordering of a pair of related images. Given a pair of images with the same semantic context, we aim at pinpointing which one belongs to an earlier moment in time, no matter their capture conditions or what scene they depict. (AU)
In this project, we are interested in identifying the most important topics present in a given dataset; finding sub-themes within the data (structures) that are of interest according to a given query; determining whether or not two pieces of information (visual and textual) refer to the same subject; determining involved actors (who is present in the mentioned information pi…
In this research, we aim at designing a framework to rank the frequency of the appearance of different individuals, objects or places based on text and visual information assets related to an event for further analysis. Moreover, we intend to (1) design and develop appropriate methods to search for some possible classes of interest (possible suspects, places, or objects of interest), whil…

Digital media is the dominant form of communication in modern society but manipulating these multimedia assets can easily be done with simple and inexpensive tools. Moreover, credible manipulations can be used to fabricate more believable multimedia stories than those relying on text alone. Although falsified media is not a new phenomenon, social media has been effectively used to distrib…
When a forensic event of large scale happens, immediately visual content related to it is shared on social networks. These data might be important for a posterior forensic inspection, given that they can depict different views in different moments of the event. However, an analysis of social media imagery related to an event might be harmed by the abundant number of irrelevant items retri…
Due to the significant impact of fake news, many researchers are devoted to studying automated fact-checking. However, fact-checkers are concerned with machine-based black-box solutions that try to automate the entire fact-checking pipeline. Nonetheless, humans cannot do the job alone either, as the billions of news pieces and social media posts are generated every day. This project aims …

The world is facing a new era in which social media communication plays a fundamental role in people's lives. Along with irrefutable benefits, several collateral drawbacks have risen, one being the wide spread of false information with malicious intents, what is now commonly called "Fake News". The fight against this problem is not easy, especially when taking into account the nature of t…
As smartphones became ubiquitous in modern life, people started to register and share moments of their lives in social networks. Modern events, from music concerts to a historical building consumed by fire, generate a massive amount of data, depicting different points of view and moments in time. To understand how the event unfolded, it is essential to organize available footage in time a…
With demanding and sophisticated crimes and terrorist threats becoming ever more pervasive, it is paramount to design and develop objective approaches to help us answer the four most important questions in forensics regarding an event: "who", "in what circumstances", "why", and "how". Although aided by surveillance cameras when answering such questions, we often face situations in which c…
