Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kollnig, K., Binns, R., Dewitte, P., Van Kleek, M., Wang, G., Omeiza, D., Webb, H., & Shadbolt, N. (2021, August). 𝐴 𝐹𝑎𝑖𝑡 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖 An Empirical Study into the Absence of Consent to Third-Party Tracking in Android Apps. Presented at Seventeenth Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security, Vancouver, Canada

Third-party tracking allows companies to collect users’ behavioural data and track their activity across digital devices. This can put deep insights into users’ private lives into the hands of many strangers, and often happens without users’ awarenes...

Crossing with care: bogs, streams and assistive mobilities as family praxis in the countryside (2021)
Journal Article
Laurier, E., Dunkley, R., Smith, T. A., & Reeves, S. (2021). Crossing with care: bogs, streams and assistive mobilities as family praxis in the countryside. Gesprächsforschung, 22, 544-568

In this paper, we use ethnomethodology, membership categorisation analysis, and conversation analysis (EMCA) to investigate traversing obstacles in outdoor environments as reflexively constitutive of producing, resisting and adjusting family relation...

A self-adaptive multi-objective feature selection approach for classification problems (2021)
Journal Article
Xue, Y., Zhu, H., & Neri, F. (2022). A self-adaptive multi-objective feature selection approach for classification problems. Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering, 29(1), 3-21. https://doi.org/10.3233/ICA-210664

In classification tasks, feature selection (FS) can reduce the data dimensionality and may also improve classification accuracy, both of which are commonly treated as the two objectives in FS problems. Many meta-heuristic algorithms have been applied... Read More about A self-adaptive multi-objective feature selection approach for classification problems.

Constraint reformulations for set point optimization problems using fuzzy cognitive map models (2021)
Journal Article
Garzón Casado, A., Cano Marchal, P., Wagner, C., Gómez Ortega, J., & Gámez García, J. (2022). Constraint reformulations for set point optimization problems using fuzzy cognitive map models. Optimal Control Applications and Methods, 43(3), 711-721. https://doi.org/10.1002/oca.2846

The selection of optimal set points is an important problem in modern process control. Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) allow to construct models of complex processes using expert knowledge, which is particularly useful in situations where measuring the v...

Generalised Pattern Search with Restarting Fitness Landscape Analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Neri, F. (2022). Generalised Pattern Search with Restarting Fitness Landscape Analysis. SN Computer Science, 3(2), Article 110. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42979-021-00989-8

Fitness landscape analysis for optimisation is a technique that involves analysing black-box optimisation problems to extract pieces of information about the problem, which can beneficially inform the design of the optimiser. Thus, the design of the... Read More about Generalised Pattern Search with Restarting Fitness Landscape Analysis.

A fusion spatial attention approach for few-shot learning (2021)
Journal Article
Song, H., Deng, B., Pound, M., Özcan, E., & Triguero, I. (2022). A fusion spatial attention approach for few-shot learning. Information Fusion, 81, 187-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.inffus.2021.11.019

Few-shot learning is a challenging problem in computer vision that aims to learn a new visual concept from very limited data. A core issue is that there is a large amount of uncertainty introduced by the small training set. For example, the few image...

Introduction
To establish a possible effect of Lycra sleeves, accurate recording of wear time is critical. The aim of this study was to test whether an accelerometer-embedded Lycra sleeve can measure wear compliance and record upper-limb (UL) movem...

Extension of Restricted Equivalence Functions and Similarity Measures for Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (2021)
Journal Article
De Miguel, L., Santiago, R., Wagner, C., Garibaldi, J. M., Takac, Z., de Hierro, A. F. R. L., & Bustince, H. (2022). Extension of Restricted Equivalence Functions and Similarity Measures for Type-2 Fuzzy Sets. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 30(9), 4005-4016. https://doi.org/10.1109/tfuzz.2021.3136349

In this work, we generalize the notion of restricted equivalence function for type-2 fuzzy sets, leading to the notion of extended restricted equivalence functions. We also study how under suitable conditions, these new functions recover the standard... Read More about Extension of Restricted Equivalence Functions and Similarity Measures for Type-2 Fuzzy Sets.
