Toward navigating complex terrains using a biomimetic whisker sensor array (2019)
Thesis

This thesis proposes a parsimonious approach to localization, mapping and object recog- nition for a pseudo-mobile robot equipped with a biomimetic array of tactile whiskers to autonomously interact, explore and represent a real-world environment. Ta... Read More about Toward navigating complex terrains using a biomimetic whisker sensor array.

Understanding unconventional preprocessors in deep convolutional neural networks for face identification (2019)
Journal Article

Deep convolutional neural networks have achieved huge successes in application domains like object and face recognition. The performance gain is attributed to different facets of the network architecture such as: depth of the convolutional layers, ac...

A honeybees-inspired heuristic algorithm for numerical optimisation (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). Swarm intelligence is all about developing collective behaviours to solve complex, ill-structured and large-scale problems. Efficiency in collective behaviours depends on how to harmonise the individual contributors so that a c... Read More about A honeybees-inspired heuristic algorithm for numerical optimisation.

Digital Expression and Representation of Rhythm (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Music provides a means to explore time by sequencing musical events in a seemingly endless and expressive way. This potential often far exceeds the ability of digital systems to enable composers and performers to explore musical time, perhaps due to...

Marimo machines: Oscillators, biosensors and actuators (2019)
Journal Article

Background
The green algae balls (Aegagropila linnaei), known as Marimo, are large spherical colonies of live photosynthetic filaments, formed by rolling water currents in freshwater lakes. Photosynthesis therein produces gas bubbles that can attach... Read More about Marimo machines: Oscillators, biosensors and actuators.

Human-in-the-loop topic modelling: Assessing topic labelling and genre-topic relations with a movie plot summary corpus (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A much-used but not yet mainstream text analysis approach, topic modelling allows the identification of lexical themes for a document collection. Against principles for interpretable AI and sociotechnical design, there are definite strengths from its...

ICT Sustainability from Day One: Introducing New Computer Science Students at a UK University to Sustainability (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As ICT impacts dramatically on the sustainability of the world and of individuals, both positive and negative, there is an urgent need to educate Computer Science students about Sustainability. This paper assesses the experience of a project to intro... Read More about ICT Sustainability from Day One: Introducing New Computer Science Students at a UK University to Sustainability.

Pickcells: A physically reconfigurable cell-composed touchscreen (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Touchscreens are the predominant medium for interactions with digital services; however, their current fixed form factor narrows the scope for rich physical interactions by limiting interaction possibilities to a single, planar surface. In this paper... Read More about Pickcells: A physically reconfigurable cell-composed touchscreen.

Embedding geographic locations for modelling the natural environment using flickr tags and structured data (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Meta-data from photo-sharing websites such as Flickr can be used to obtain rich bag-of-words descriptions of geographic locations, which have proven valuable, among others, for modelling and predicting ecological features. One important insight from... Read More about Embedding geographic locations for modelling the natural environment using flickr tags and structured data.

Analysing cancer care informatics through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - A review and assessment (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. Cancer Care Informatics (CCI) and its impacts are assessed using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The positive and negative impacts of CCI on the SDGs are considered through a literature review and expert assessme...
