Soma design to enhance aircraft passenger comfort (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sharafkhani, M., Tennent, P., Argyle, E., & Cobb, S. (2021, September). Soma design to enhance aircraft passenger comfort. Presented at Comfort Congress (ICC2021), Nottingham, UK

Aircraft passengers can become uncomfortable while seated because of the restricted physical space. This work aims to investigate a new strategy for designing interventions that can be used to encourage aircraft passengers to move more while seated a...

Calculating dependently-typed compilers (functional pearl) (2021)
Journal Article
Pickard, M., & Hutton, G. (2021). Calculating dependently-typed compilers (functional pearl). Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, 5(ICFP), 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1145/3473587

Compilers are difficult to write, and difficult to get right. Bahr and Hutton recently developed a new technique for calculating compilers directly from specifications of their correctness, which ensures that the resulting compilers are correct-by-co...

Covariance Pattern Search with Eigenvalue-determined Radii (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neri, F., & Zhou, Y. (2021, June). Covariance Pattern Search with Eigenvalue-determined Radii. Presented at 2021 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC 2021), Krakow, Poland (Virtual)

Effective implementations of Memetic Algorithms often integrate, within their design, problem-based pieces of information. When no information is known, an efficient MA can still be designed after a preliminary analysis of the problem. This approach...

Intent-Aware Predictive Haptic Guidance and its Application to Shared Control Teleoperation (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ly, K. T., Poozhiyil, M., Pandya, H., Neumann, G., & Kucukyilmaz, A. (2021, August). Intent-Aware Predictive Haptic Guidance and its Application to Shared Control Teleoperation. Presented at 2021 30th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, RO-MAN 2021, Vancouver, Canada (Online)

This paper presents a haptic shared control paradigm that modulates the level of robotic guidance, based on predictions of human motion intentions. The proposed method incorporates robot trajectories learned from human demonstrations and dynamically...

Generic stacks and application of composite rules for the detailed sizing of laminated structures (2021)
Journal Article
Ntourmas, G., Glock, F., Daoud, F., Schuhmacher, G., Chronopoulos, D., & Özcan, E. (2021). Generic stacks and application of composite rules for the detailed sizing of laminated structures. Composite Structures, 276, Article 114487. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.114487

Two-stage approaches are commonly applied to optimise the stacking sequence of large-scale composite structures. The two stages consist of a gradient and non-gradient based optimisation addressing the mixed nature of continuous and discrete constrain...

Do People Prefer to Give Interval-Valued or Point Estimates and Why? (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ellerby, Z., & Wagner, C. (2021, July). Do People Prefer to Give Interval-Valued or Point Estimates and Why?. Presented at 2021 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE), Luxembourg (now virtual)

Capturing interval-valued, as opposed to more conventional point-valued data, offers a potentially efficient method of obtaining richer information in individual responses. In turn, interval-valued data provide a strong foundation for subsequent fuzz... Read More about Do People Prefer to Give Interval-Valued or Point Estimates and Why?.

FuzzyDCNN: Incorporating Fuzzy Integral Layers to Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Segmentation (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lin, Q., Chen, X., Chen, C., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2021, July). FuzzyDCNN: Incorporating Fuzzy Integral Layers to Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Segmentation. Presented at IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2021), Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved the state-of-the-art performance in many application areas, due to the capability of automatically extracting and aggregating spatial and channel-wise features from images. Most recent studies have c... Read More about FuzzyDCNN: Incorporating Fuzzy Integral Layers to Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Segmentation.

From computer ethics and the ethics of AI towards an ethics of digital ecosystems (2021)
Journal Article
Stahl, B. C. (2022). From computer ethics and the ethics of AI towards an ethics of digital ecosystems. AI and Ethics, 2(1), 65-77. https://doi.org/10.1007/s43681-021-00080-1

Ethical, social and human rights aspects of computing technologies have been discussed since the inception of these technologies. In the 1980s, this led to the development of a discourse often referred to as computer ethics. More recently, since the...
