Classifying Human Movement Using Discrete Fréchet and DTW Distances (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Akitaya, H. A., Carlos, J., De Almeida, C., Fonseca, L., & Shahrouzi, G. (2024, November). Classifying Human Movement Using Discrete Fréchet and DTW Distances. Presented at 31st Annual Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry, Tufts University, Medford, MA, USA

Individuals with motor disabilities often rely on assistive devices for support. However, conditions that affect upper limbs, particularly hand function, pose a challenge in the user interface design. In this context, inertial sensor-based movement c...

Augmenting musical instruments with digital identities (2024)
Journal Article
Benford, S., McGarry, G., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., Gibson, R., & Avila, J. P. M. (2024). Augmenting musical instruments with digital identities. Journal of New Music Research, https://doi.org/10.1080/09298215.2024.2423613

We explore how augmenting musical instruments with digital identities can enhance their provenance, utility during creative practice, and personal meaning. A literature review reveals the importance of object identities in general and instrument iden... Read More about Augmenting musical instruments with digital identities.

Root metaxylem area influences drought tolerance and transpiration in pearl millet in a soil texture dependent manner (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Affortit, P., Faye, A., Jones, D. H., Benson, E., Sine, B., Burridge, J., Ndoye, M. S., Barry, L., Moukouanga, D., Barnard, S., Bhosale, R., Pridmore, T., Gantet, P., Vadez, V., Cubry, P., Kane, N., Bennett, M., Atkinson, J. A., Laplaze, L., Wells, D. M., & Grondin, A. (2024). Root metaxylem area influences drought tolerance and transpiration in pearl millet in a soil texture dependent manner

Pearl millet is a key cereal for food security in drylands but its yield is strongly impacted by drought. We investigated how root anatomical traits contribute to mitigating the effects of vegetative drought stress in pearl millet.

We examined ass... Read More about Root metaxylem area influences drought tolerance and transpiration in pearl millet in a soil texture dependent manner.

Addressing E-Waste: Repair Café Processes as Barriers to Repair of Smart Devices (2024)
Journal Article
Castle-Green, T., & Sailaja, N. (2024). Addressing E-Waste: Repair Café Processes as Barriers to Repair of Smart Devices. BASE - Revista de Administração e Contabilidade da Unisinos, 9(10), 150-161. https://doi.org/10.52611/bdi.num10.2024.999

Electronic waste, commonly referred to as e-waste, is a health and environmental hazard that affects many people and ecosystems around the world. As the volume of e-waste continues to surge, it is imperative this issue is addressed. Contributing to t...

Learning-guided cross-sampling for large-scale evolutionary multi-objective optimization (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, H., Chen, L., Hao, X., Qu, R., Zhou, W., Wang, D., & Liu, W. (2024). Learning-guided cross-sampling for large-scale evolutionary multi-objective optimization. Swarm and Evolutionary Computation, 91, Article 101763. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.swevo.2024.101763

When tackling large-scale multi-objective problems (LSMOPs), the computational budget could be wasted by traditional offspring generators that explore the search space in a nearly directionless manner, impairing the efficiency of many existing algori...

Small and medium enterprises will use generative AI. But how can they be helped to implement it properly? (2024)
Report
Ochang, P., Eke, D., Stahl, B., Buckley, . M., Poder, I., & Hughes, J. (2024). Small and medium enterprises will use generative AI. But how can they be helped to implement it properly?. ESPRC and RAI UK

Generative AI is changing the way our economies and businesses operate, and SMEs could be receiving more benefits from this transition. Over the past 12 months in the Responsible Generative AI for SMEs in UK and Africa (RAISE) project we have been wo... Read More about Small and medium enterprises will use generative AI.

Epimorphisms and acyclic types in univalent foundations (2024)
Journal Article
Buchholtz, U., De Jong, T., & Rijke, E. (in press). Epimorphisms and acyclic types in univalent foundations. Journal of Symbolic Logic,

We characterize the epimorphisms in homotopy type theory (HoTT) as the fiberwise acyclic maps and develop a type-theoretic treatment of acyclic maps and types in the context of synthetic homotopy theory as developed in univalent foundations. We prese... Read More about Epimorphisms and acyclic types in univalent foundations.

How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Garrett, R., Schneiders, E., Tennent, P., Chamberlain, A., Avila, J., Brundell, P., & Castle-Green, S. (2024, October). How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics. Poster presented at 16th International Conference on Social Robotics + AI (ICSR + AI) 2024, Odense, Denmark

We explore transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and roboticists across a portfolio of artworks. Brendan Walker's Bronco-matic was a breath controlled mechanical rodeo bull ride. Blast Theory's Cat Royale deployed a robot arm to play with... Read More about How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics.

Impact over metrics: Turing and the ultimate contribution of cryptology (2024)
Journal Article
Furnell, S. (2024). Impact over metrics: Turing and the ultimate contribution of cryptology. Computer Journal, Article bxae103. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/bxae103

Amongst his many lasting contributions, Alan Turing’s name is strongly linked to the domain of cryptology, particularly due to his pioneering wartime work in cryptanalysis. However, the fact that his work remained classified until many years later ha... Read More about Impact over metrics: Turing and the ultimate contribution of cryptology.
