Confidentiality and linked data (2018)
Book Chapter

This chapter considers the confidentiality issues around linked data. It notes that the use and availability of secondary (adminstrative or social media) data, allied to powerful processing and machine learning techniques, in theory means that re-ide...

E-assessment of computer programming (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper demonstrates how we have used Dewis, an algorithmic open source e-assessment system, to automatically assess programming skills, in particular, in the C programming language. Teaching and assessing programming skills is challenging; prior... Read More about E-assessment of computer programming.

Predicting user confidence during visual decision making (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 ACM People are not infallible consistent “oracles”: their confidence in decision-making may vary significantly between tasks and over time. We have previously reported the benefits of using an interface and algorithms that explicitly captured... Read More about Predicting user confidence during visual decision making.

The internet of flying things (2018)
Book Chapter

Popularly known as drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been applied in several fields, usually operating in cooperative and collaborative swarms to enable the execution of more dynamic missions. Thus, the new Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs)... Read More about The internet of flying things.

Predicting the occurrence of world news events using recurrent neural networks and auto-regressive moving average models (2017)
Book Chapter

The ability to predict future states is fundamental for a wide variety of applications, from weather forecasting to stock market analysis. Understanding the related data attributes that can influence changes in time series is a challenging task that...

Exploiting antipheromone in ant colony optimisation for interactive search-based software design and refactoring (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Preventing user-fatigue in interactive meta-heuristic search places as great an emphasis on efficiency as it does on ef- fectiveness. Engagement may also be boosted if the system provides a sense of “responsiveness” - for example, avoiding unpopular...

Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Surrogate-assisted optimisation has proven success in the continuous domain, but only recently begun to be explored for other representations, in particular permutations. The use of Gaussian kernel-based models has been proposed, but only tested on s... Read More about Exploiting diverse distance metrics for surrogate-based optimisation of ordering problems.

Evolving atomic aesthetics and dynamics (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. The depiction of atoms and molecules in scientific literature owes as much to the creative imagination of scientists as it does to scientific theory and experimentation. danceroom Spectroscopy (dS...
