On recombination (2024)
Journal Article

The predominant explanations for the inclusion of chromosomal recombination during meiosis are either that it serves as a mechanism for repair or for increased adaptability. However, neither gives a clear immediate selective advantage to the reproduc... Read More about On recombination.

Neurons as autoencoders (2024)
Journal Article

This letter presents the idea that neural backpropagation is exploiting dendritic processing to enable individual neurons to perform autoencoding. Using a very simple connection weight search heuristic and artificial neural network model, the effects... Read More about Neurons as autoencoders.

Investigating a deep learning approach to real-time air quality prediction and visualisation on UK highways (2024)
Thesis

The construction of intercity highways by the United Kingdom (UK) government has resulted in a progressive increase in vehicle emissions and pollution from noise, dust, and vibrations amid growing concerns about air pollution. Existing roadside pollu... Read More about Investigating a deep learning approach to real-time air quality prediction and visualisation on UK highways.

Towards robots with common sense (2024)
Book Chapter

This study explores the question: could a robot be equipped with an artificial “common sense” and if so, how? The study outlines a method for equipping social robots with an artificial theory of mind. The method is based on a simulation-based interna... Read More about Towards robots with common sense.

New traditions - An exhibition of modern folklore (2024)
Exhibition / Performance

The New Traditions on Modern Folklore exhibition seeks to merge echoes of ancient lore with the pulsing grind of contemporary life, inviting select artists to contribute visions of this "future-past" through conventional and experimental interpretati...

Regulating armed swarms under international law (2024)
Book Chapter

Of the known military systems under development today perhaps none are more controversial than autonomous weapons systems (AWS). Indeed, for several years, opponents have been urging the United Nations (UN) to prohibit this emerging weapons technolog... Read More about Regulating armed swarms under international law.

Machine learning models in trusted research environments - Understanding operational risks (2023)
Journal Article

IntroductionTrusted research environments (TREs) provide secure access to very sensitive data for research. All TREs operate manual checks on outputs to ensure there is no residual disclosure risk. Machine learning (ML) models require very large amou... Read More about Machine learning models in trusted research environments - Understanding operational risks.

Regulating armed drone swarms under international law (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

One of the most controversial military systems currently under development today are autonomous weapons systems (AWS). Indeed, many states are urging the United Nations to prohibit AWS by way of a specific treaty. The term AWS is, nevertheless, somew...

Multiple innovations in characterizing piezoelectric materials (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Characterisation of piezoelectric materials is a key part. The IEEE standard is the only approach that can produce a full elastopiezodielectric matrix. However, it requires multiple samples. This often involves difficulties preparing the samples for... Read More about Multiple innovations in characterizing piezoelectric materials.

Non-contact characterisation of piezoelectric materials (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Piezoelectric materials play a key role in various technological applications owing to their unique elastic-piezoelectric-dielectric (EPD) properties, often represented in matrix form. Traditional methods for obtaining these properties, as defined by... Read More about Non-contact characterisation of piezoelectric materials.

Multi-agent learning of asset maintenance plans through localised subnetworks (2023)
Journal Article

Maintenance planning of networked multi-asset systems is a complex problem due to the inherent individual and collective asset constraints and dynamics as well as the size of the system and interdependencies among assets. Although multi-asset systems... Read More about Multi-agent learning of asset maintenance plans through localised subnetworks.
