Improving performance of a hyper-heuristic using a multilayer perceptron for vehicle routing (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tyasnurita, R., Özcan, E., Shahriar, A., & John, R. Improving performance of a hyper-heuristic using a multilayer perceptron for vehicle routing. Presented at 15th UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI 2015)

A hyper-heuristic is a heuristic optimisation method which generates or selects heuristics (move operators) based on a set of components while solving a computationally difficult problem. Apprenticeship learning arises while observing the behavior of... Read More about Improving performance of a hyper-heuristic using a multilayer perceptron for vehicle routing.

Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bedwell, B. D., Slack, P., & Greenhalgh, C. (2015, September). Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences. Presented at 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computings Computing (UbiComp 2015)

In this paper we show how -- with the aid of enabling technology -- creative Location Based Experiences can be developed for visitors by non-technical professionals from the cultural heritage sector. We look at how these "Place Experts" approach and... Read More about Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences.

(1+1)-Evolutionary gradient strategy to evolve global term weights in information retrieval (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ibrahim, O. A. S., & Landa-Silva, D. (2016, October). (1+1)-Evolutionary gradient strategy to evolve global term weights in information retrieval. Presented at 16th Annual UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI 2016), Lancaster, UK

In many contexts of Information Retrieval (IR), term weights play an important role in retrieving the relevant documents responding to users' queries. The term weight measures the importance or the information content of a keyword existing in the doc...

Bridging the GUI gap with reactive values and relations (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Perez, I., & Nilsson, H. Bridging the GUI gap with reactive values and relations. Presented at 2015 ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Haskell (Haskell '15)

There are at present two ways to write GUIs for functional code. One is to use standard GUI toolkits, with all the benefits they bring in terms of feature completeness, choice of platform, conformance to platform-specific look-and-feel, long-term via...
