Nietzsche contra Caillois: Beyond play and games
Presentation / Conference
Dixon, D. Nietzsche contra Caillois: Beyond play and games. Paper presented at Philosophy of Computer Games 2009, Oslo

Roger Caillois' Man, Play and Games is a seminal book in Game Studies and his taxonomy of play and games has framed much of the debate while the field has been active. However this book was published half a century ago and does not provide much help... Read More about Nietzsche contra Caillois: Beyond play and games.

Non-rigid elastic registration of retinal images using local window mutual information
Presentation / Conference
Legg, P., Rosin, P., Marshall, D., & Morgan, J. Non-rigid elastic registration of retinal images using local window mutual information

In this paper we consider the problem of non-rigid retinal image registration between colour fundus photographs and Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) images. Registration would allow for cross-comparison between modalities, giving both appearence a... Read More about Non-rigid elastic registration of retinal images using local window mutual information.

CAE-L: An ontology modelling cultural behaviour in adaptive education
Presentation / Conference
Chandramouli, K., Stewart, C., Brailsford, T., & Izquierdo, E. CAE-L: An ontology modelling cultural behaviour in adaptive education. Paper presented at Third International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP '08)

The presentation of learning materials in Adaptive Education Hypermedia is influenced by several factors such as learning style, background knowledge and cultural background, to name a few. In this paper, we introduce the notion of the CAE-L Ontology... Read More about CAE-L: An ontology modelling cultural behaviour in adaptive education.

Are we talking about the same structure?: A unified approach to hypertext links, xml, rdf and zigzag
Presentation / Conference
Pourabdollah, A., Ashman, H., & Brailsford, T. Are we talking about the same structure?: A unified approach to hypertext links, xml, rdf and zigzag. Paper presented at Proceedings of the nineteenth ACM conference on Hypertext and hypermedia

There are many different hypertext systems and paradigms, each with their apparent advantages. However the distinctions are perhaps not as significant as they seem. If we can reduce the core linking functionality to some common structure, which allow...

Incorporating neighbourhood feature derivatives with Mutual Information to improve accuracy of multi-modal image registration
Presentation / Conference
Legg, P., Rosin, P., Marshall, D., & Morgan, J. Incorporating neighbourhood feature derivatives with Mutual Information to improve accuracy of multi-modal image registration

In this paper we present an improved method for performing image registration of different modalities. Russakoff [1] proposed the method of Regional Mutual Information (RMI) which allows neighbourhood information to be considered in the Mutual Inform...

G con: A graph-based technique for resolving ambiguity in query translation candidates
Presentation / Conference
Zhou, D., Truran, M., Brailsford, T., Ashman, H., & Goulding, J. G con: A graph-based technique for resolving ambiguity in query translation candidates. Paper presented at 2008 ACM symposium on Applied computing

In the field of cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), the resolution of lexical ambiguity is a key challenge. Common mechanisms for the translation of query terms from one language to another typically produce a set of possible translation can...

Ambiguity and unknown term translation in CLIR
Presentation / Conference
Zhou, D., Truran, M., & Brailsford, T. J. Ambiguity and unknown term translation in CLIR. Paper presented at CLEF (Working Notes)

In this paper we present a report on our participation in the CLEF Chinese-English ad hoc bilingual track, and we discuss a disambiguation strategy which employs a modified co-occurrence model to determine the most appropriate translation for a given...

Revealing the hidden rationality of user browsing behaviour
Presentation / Conference
Brown, E., Brailsford, T., Fisher, T., & van der Eijk, C. Revealing the hidden rationality of user browsing behaviour. Paper presented at Proceedings of the eighteenth conference on Hypertext and hypermedia

In this paper, we analyse web log data from user trials of the WHURLE-LS adaptive educational hypermedia (AEH) system from a behavioural perspective. This system allows users to switch from one presentational mode to another (visual, verbal or neutra... Read More about Revealing the hidden rationality of user browsing behaviour.

Real users, real results: examining the limitations of learning styles within AEH
Presentation / Conference
Brown, E., Fisher, T., & Brailsford, T. Real users, real results: examining the limitations of learning styles within AEH. Paper presented at Proceedings of the 18th conference on Hypertext and hypermedia (HT 07)

This paper examines the current state of AEH (adaptive educational hypermedia) research into explicit learning style modelling for user personalisation. It addresses the problem of non-naïve test subjects, who are often in user trials, thus contribut...

LLAMA: automatic hypertext generation utilizing language models
Presentation / Conference
Zhou, D., Goulding, J., Truran, M., & Brailsford, T. LLAMA: automatic hypertext generation utilizing language models. Paper presented at Eighteenth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (HT07)

Manual hypertext construction is labour intensive and prone to error. Robust systems capable of automatic hypertext generation (AHG) could be of direct benefit to those individuals responsible for hypertext authoring. In this paper we propose a novel...

Improving accuracy and efficiency of registration by mutual information using Sturges’ Histogram Rule
Presentation / Conference
Legg, P., Rosin, P., Marshall, D., & Morgan, J. Improving accuracy and efficiency of registration by mutual information using Sturges’ Histogram Rule

Mutual Information is a common technique for image registration in the medical domain, in particular where images of different modalities are to be registered. In this paper, we wish to demonstrate the benefits of applying a common method known in st...
