The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development (2023)
Journal Article
Turner, A., Hayes, S., & Sharkey, D. (2023). The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development. Sensors, 23(10), Article 4800. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23104800

Neurodevelopmental delay following extremely preterm birth or birth asphyxia is common but diagnosis is often delayed as early milder signs are not recognised by parents or clinicians. Early interventions have been shown to improve outcomes. Automati... Read More about The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development.

A Fitness Landscape Analysis Approach for Reinforcement Learning in the Control of the Coupled Inverted Pendulum Task (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neri, F., & Turner, A. (2023, April). A Fitness Landscape Analysis Approach for Reinforcement Learning in the Control of the Coupled Inverted Pendulum Task. Presented at 26th European Conference, EvoApplications 2023, Held as Part of EvoStar 2023, Brno, Czech Republic

Fitness Landscape Analysis (FLA) for loss/gain functions for Machine Learning is an emerging research trend in Computational Intelligence that offered an alternative view on how learning algorithms work and should be designed. The vast majority of th... Read More about A Fitness Landscape Analysis Approach for Reinforcement Learning in the Control of the Coupled Inverted Pendulum Task.

The Design and Engineering of a Fall and Near-Fall Detection Electronic Textile (2023)
Journal Article
Rahemtulla, Z., Turner, A., Oliveira, C., Kaner, J., Dias, T., & Hughes-Riley, T. (2023). The Design and Engineering of a Fall and Near-Fall Detection Electronic Textile. Materials, 16(5), Article 1920. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16051920

Falls can be detrimental to the quality of life of older people, and therefore the ability to detect falls is beneficial, especially if the person is living alone and has injured themselves. In addition, detecting near falls (when a person is imbalan... Read More about The Design and Engineering of a Fall and Near-Fall Detection Electronic Textile.

Sex and gametogenesis stage are strong drivers of gene expression in Mytilus edulis exposed to environmentally relevant plasticiser levels and pH 7.7. (2022)
Journal Article
