A cognitive dimensions approach for the design of an interactive generative score editor (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hunt, S., Mitchell, T., & Nash, C. (2018, May). A cognitive dimensions approach for the design of an interactive generative score editor. Paper presented at Fourth International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation, Montréal, Canada

This paper describes how the Cognitive Dimensions of Notation can guide the design of algorithmic composition tools. Prior research has also used the cognitive dimensions for analysing interaction design for algorithmic composition software. This wor...

Beneficial role of humans and AI in a machine learning age of the Telco ecosystem (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Cassidy, S., Perrett, J., & Simons, C. (2018, May). Beneficial role of humans and AI in a machine learning age of the Telco ecosystem. Paper presented at TM Forum Digital Transformation World, Nice, France

The adoption of new technology in the telecommunications industry raises challenges, particularly when exploiting advances in artificial intelligence (AI) (e.g. dynamic optimisation and machine learning). Indeed, opinions have been expressed that AI... Read More about Beneficial role of humans and AI in a machine learning age of the Telco ecosystem.
