Bundle entropy as an optimized measure of consumers' systematic product choice combinations in mass transactional data (2022)
Conference Proceeding

Understanding and measuring the predictability of consumer purchasing (basket) behaviour is of significant value. While predictability measures such as entropy have been well studied and leveraged in other sectors, their development and application t...

FIMS: Identifying, Predicting and Visualising Food Insecurity (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Food insecurity is a persistent and pernicious problem in the UK. Due to logistical challenges, national food insecurity statistics are unmeasured by government bodies - and this lack of data leads to any local estimates that do exist being routinely...

The unbanked and poverty: predicting area-level socio-economic vulnerability from M-Money transactions (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Emerging economies around the world are often characterized by governments and institutions struggling to keep key demographic data streams up to date. A demographic of interest particularly linked to social vulnerability is that of poverty and socio...

A novel symbolization technique for time-series outlier detection (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The detection of outliers in time series data is a core component of many data-mining applications and broadly applied in industrial applications. In large data sets algorithms that are efficient in both time and space are required. One area where sp... Read More about A novel symbolization technique for time-series outlier detection.

AMP: a new time-frequency feature extraction method for intermittent time-series data (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The characterisation of time-series data via their most salient features is extremely important in a range of machine learning task, not least of all with regards to classification and clustering. While there exist many feature extraction techniques... Read More about AMP: a new time-frequency feature extraction method for intermittent time-series data.

The potential of electromyography to aid personal navigation (2014)
Conference Proceeding

This paper reports on research to explore the potential for using electromyography (EMG) measurements in pedestrian navigation. The aim is to investigate whether the relationship between human motion and the activity of skeletal muscles in the leg mi...

A refined limit on the predictability of human mobility (2014)
Conference Proceeding

It has been recently claimed that human movement is highly predictable. While an upper bound of 93% predictability was shown, this was based upon human movement trajectories of very high spatiotemporal granularity. Recent studies reduced this spatiot...

Towards optimal symbolization for time series comparisons (2013)
Conference Proceeding

The abundance and value of mining large time series data sets has long been acknowledged. Ubiquitous in fields ranging from astronomy, biology and web science the size and number of these datasets continues to increase, a situation exacerbated by the...
