Publicación Characterization of SLM Conversational Systems Models, Overview(Springer Nature, 2025-03-25) Vasconcelo-Mir, Yuniesky Orlando; Pérez-Pupo, Iliana; Yzquierdo-Herrera, Raykenler; Piñero-Pérez, Pedro Yobanis; Alvarado-Acuña, Luis Segundo; Bello-Pérez, RafaelThe development of Generative Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing human–machine interaction models. In this context, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as tools capable of learning complex patterns. However, many of these technologies are highly resource intensive. An alternative to these complex models is the advent of Small Language Models (SLMs). These smaller models process fewer parameters but achieve acceptable performance in their responses, striking a balance between cost and quality. This study characterizes different SLMs to facilitate decision-making in their implementation. In the methods section, a systematic review is conducted, serving as a guide for researchers and professionals seeking to select the most suitable SLM for their specific needs. An analysis of the efficiency of these models contributes to the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques from a sustainability perspective. The results section presents a comparison of various SLMs available on the Ollama platform. The models compared include Qwen2.5, Phi3.5, Mistral-small, Llama3.1, and Gemma2. A comparative analysis evaluates these models based on their efficiency and effectiveness in terms of computational resources and the human effort required to develop task-specific conversational systems. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using these smaller models in various decision-making environments.Publicación A Efficient Model for Startups Creation with Low Risk and Uncertainty, Study Cases in IADES(Springer Nature, 2025-03-25) Pérez-Pupo, Iliana; Piñero-Pérez, Pedro Yobanis; Piñero-Ramírez, Pedro E.; Yzquierdo-Herrera, Raykenler; Alvarado-Acuña, Luis Segundo; Piñero-Ramírez, Carlos ManuelSmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups are an essential part of the economy in many countries, having a significant economic and social impact. In this context, recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have fostered the creation of numerous companies supported by these technologies. However, the creation of such enterprises involves high risks, with 50% of initiatives failing. Multiple factors, coupled with a high degree of uncertainty in decision-making, contribute to this phenomenon. The methods section presents a model for building AI-supported startups. The proposed method facilitates the processes of implementation and governance during its application. This model can be generalized through the IADESPro platform. In the results analysis section, the authors validate the proposal using socio-economic indicators and word computing techniques. Furthermore, the results of applying the model in the IADES Commercial Society, a company dedicated to the development of new AI technologies for Sustainable Development, are presented. The IADES company adopted the proposed model and focused on applying AI in the fields of Sports, Sustainable Development, and Project Management. The application results are demonstrated.Publicación Decision Making in Artificial Intelligence Training Programs(Springer Nature, 2025-03-25) Yzquierdo-Herrera, Raykenler; Piñero-Pérez, Pedro Yobanis; Pérez-Pupo, Iliana; Alvarado-Acuña, Luis Segundo; García-Vacacela, Roberto; Hernández-Pupo, Luis GabrielThis work addresses the challenge of capacity building in the areas of artificial intelligence and data science.

Additionally, the model is evaluated by subject matter experts, demonstrating the contributions of the proposed model.Publicación Framework for Strategic Planning and Assisted by Artificial Intelligence(Springer Nature, 2025-03-25) Alvarado-Acuña, Luis Segundo; Piñero-Pérez, Pedro Yobanis; Yzquierdo-Herrera, Raykenler; Piñero-Ramírez, Carlos Manuel; López-Correa, Francisco Javier; García-Vacacela, RobertoStrategic forecasting continues to be one of the fundamental elements in decision making. This branch of management sciences, like other branches of knowledge, is being influenced by artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. In this work, in the first section of the methods section, a brief study is made of the state of the art of trends in strategic planning and the points of contact with artificial intelligence. The opportunities for improvement of existing strategic forecasting techniques with respect to the treatment of uncertainty are analyzed. In the second section, a proposal is made for a framewrok for strategic planning assisted by artificial intelligence techniques. This model allows aiding decision making while maintaining an adequate management of information uncertainty. Then, in the results analysis session, the proposals made are validated. Statistical techniques and expert and data triangulation methods are used. As conclusions, the validity of the proposal and its power for decision making under uncertainty is demonstrated. Future lines of work are also presented.Publicación Sport Customized Training Plan Assisted by Linguistic Data Summarization(Springer Nature, 2025-03-25) Calderón, Carlos Amador; Pérez-Pupo, Iliana; Yzquierdo-Herrera, Raykenler; Piñero-Pérez, Pedro Yobanis; Palacios-Pulgarón, Rolando; Alvarado-Acuña, Luis SegundoPlanning high-performance sports training involves making decisions under uncertainty. There are no deterministic algorithms that allow handling the complexity of biological systems and individual variability in the construction of plans. For this reason, in this study, artificial intelligence techniques are applied to the construction of personalized training plans. In the methods section, the CACIA model is presented to construct training plans that combine linguistic data summarization techniques with elements of neutrosophic theory. The variables considered by the proposed model were anthropometric indicators, biorhythms, nutrition, and psychological factors. Then, in the results section, the proposal is validated based on an analysis of the performances of athletes at the national championships. The results were compared between the control and experimental groups using non-parametric tests and the SPSS tool. It was found that the CACIA model significantly improved the results of the experimental group compared with the control group. In this study, the use of linguistic summarization of the data allowed the creation of linguistic summaries that were used in the adaptation and improvement of the constructed plans.Publicación Measurement of Perceived Quality in Conversational Systems (Chatbots)(Springer Nature, 2025-03-25) Hernández-Pupo, Luis Gabriel; Yzquierdo-Herrera, Raykenler; Alvarado-Acuña, Luis Segundo; Piñero-Pérez, Pedro Yobanis; Pérez-Pupo, Iliana; Bello-Pérez, RafaelThe increase in the number of conversational systems (chatbots) applied to different scenarios in society is notable. However, the development of metrics and evaluation methods for chatbots still remains an open line of research. The aim is to create evaluation methods that are less and less invasive and that do not reduce the participation of users or other human agents. In this work, in the methods section, a systematic review is carried out on different evaluation methods for chatbots. Then, in the same section, new metrics for the evaluation of conversations with chatbots inspired by the neutrosophic theory are presented. In the results section, the validation of the proposed model is carried out. The applicability of the model is evaluated and the proposal is subjected to expert triangulation methods. In the work, it is possible to demonstrate that the application of neutrosophic logic can contribute to achieving a more natural response from chatbots. This effect can be useful to mitigate the presence of false responses or hallucinations.
