Applying interval type-2 fuzzy rule based classifiers through a cluster-based class representation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Navarro, J., Wagner, C., & Aickelin, U. Applying interval type-2 fuzzy rule based classifiers through a cluster-based class representation. Presented at 2015 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence

Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification Systems (FRBCSs) have the potential to provide so-called interpretable classifiers, i.e. classifiers which can be introspective, understood, validated and augmented by human experts by relying on fuzzy-set based rules....

Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
May, L., & Siebers, P.-O. (2015, December). Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers. Presented at 2015 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), Huntington Beach, CA, USA

The weather is unpredictable and can have a large impact on the profitability of seasonal businesses, particularly if staffing requirements are highly temperature-dependent. In this paper we describe our efforts in developing a what-if analysis tool... Read More about Using simulation to assist recruitment in seasonally dependant contact centers.

Learning to transfer: transferring latent task structures and its application to person-specific facial action unit detection (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Almaev, T., Martinez, B., & Valstar, M. F. (2015, December). Learning to transfer: transferring latent task structures and its application to person-specific facial action unit detection. Presented at ICCV15, International Conference on Computer Vision, Santiago, Chile

In this article we explore the problem of constructing person-specific models for the detection of facial Action Units (AUs), addressing the problem from the point of view of Transfer Learning and Multi-Task Learning. Our starting point is the fact t... Read More about Learning to transfer: transferring latent task structures and its application to person-specific facial action unit detection.

Presented at Proceedings - 14th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications, TrustCom 2015, Helsinki, Finland

In this position paper, we present ideas about creating a next generation framework towards an adaptive interface for data communication and visualisation systems. Our objective is to develop a system that accepts large data sets as inputs and provid... Read More about Adaptive Data Communication Interface: A User-Centric Visual Data Interpretation Framework.

A Variable Neighbourhood Search for nurse scheduling with balanced preference satisfaction (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Constantino, A. A., Tozzo, E., Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., & Romão, W. A Variable Neighbourhood Search for nurse scheduling with balanced preference satisfaction. Presented at 17th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS 2015)

The nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem widely tackled in the literature. Recently, a new variant of this problem was proposed, called nurse scheduling problem with balanced preference satisfaction (NSPBPS). This pa...

The effects of pushback delays on airport ground movement (2015)
Journal Article
Stergianos, C., Atkin, J., Schittekat, P., Nordlander, T. E., Gerada, C., & Morvan, H. (in press). The effects of pushback delays on airport ground movement

With the constant increase in air traffic, airports are facing capacity problems. Optimisation methods for specific airport processes are starting to be increasingly utilised by many large airports. However, many processes do happen in parallel, and... Read More about The effects of pushback delays on airport ground movement.
