Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sailaja, N., Castle-Green, T., Coulton, P., Stead, M., Lindley, J., Urquhart, L., & Darzentas, D. P. (2023, October). UbiFix: Tackling Repairability Challenges in Smart Devices. Presented at UbiComp/ISWC '23: The 2023 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, Cancun, Quintana Roo Mexico

IoT products are increasingly becoming the default, with non-IoT versions of common hardware (e.g., TVs and printers) harder to find. Alongside this adoption surge, lack of support, outdated security, and planned obsolescence present concerning susta... Read More about UbiFix: Tackling Repairability Challenges in Smart Devices.

Developing precision computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) for adolescent depression: a pilot and feasibility protocol for the SPARX-UK trial (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Khan, K., Hall, C. L., Babbage, C., Dodzo, S., Greenhalgh, C., Lucassen, M., Merry, S., Sayal, K., Sprange, K., Stasiak, K., Tench, C. R., Townsend, E., Stallard, P., & Hollis, C. Developing precision computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) for adolescent depression: a pilot and feasibility protocol for the SPARX-UK trial

Background:

A serious game (SPARX), developed in New Zealand and incorporating cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles, has been shown to help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents with mild to moderate depression. Howev... Read More about Developing precision computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT) for adolescent depression: a pilot and feasibility protocol for the SPARX-UK trial.

Adapting Vision Foundation Models for Plant Phenotyping (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, F., Giuffrida, M. V., & Tsaftaris, S. A. (2023, October). Adapting Vision Foundation Models for Plant Phenotyping. Presented at International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) Workshops, Paris, France

Foundation models are large models pre-trained on tremendous amount of data. They can be typically adapted to diverse downstream tasks with minimal effort. However, as foundation models are usually pre-trained on images or texts sourced from the Inte... Read More about Adapting Vision Foundation Models for Plant Phenotyping.

An adaptive greedy heuristic for large scale airline crew pairing problems (2023)
Journal Article
Zeren, B., Özcan, E., & Deveci, M. (2024). An adaptive greedy heuristic for large scale airline crew pairing problems. Journal of Air Transport Management, 114, Article 102492. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jairtraman.2023.102492

A crew pairing represents a sequence of flight legs that constitute a crew work allocation, starting and ending at the same crew base. A complete set of crew pairings covers all flight legs in the timetable of an airline for a given planning horizon....
