Using agent-based modelling for investigating modal shift: The case of university travel (2019)
Journal Article
Olusola, F. T., Siebers, P.-O., Faboya, O., Ryan, B., & Figueredo, G. P. (2020). Using agent-based modelling for investigating modal shift: The case of university travel. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 139, Article 106077. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cie.2019.106077

© 2019 Travel mode choices are a result of several factors and how they affect individual travellers. This paper examines those factors influencing travellers’ mode choices commuting to and from a university. Furthermore, we investigate how a shift t...

A Hybrid Evolutionary Strategy to Optimise Early-Stage Cancer Screening (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Figueredo, G. P., Shi, P., Parkes, A. J., Evans, K., Garibaldi, J. M., Negm, O., …Robertson, J. (2019). A Hybrid Evolutionary Strategy to Optimise Early-Stage Cancer Screening. In 2019 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) (95-102). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2019.8790316

Current methods to identify cutoff values for tumour-associated molecules (antigens) discrimination are based on statistics and brute force. These methods applied to cancer screening problems are very inefficient, especially with large data sets with...

Microarray Feature Selection and Dynamic Selection of Classifiers for Early Detection of Insect Bite Hypersensitivity in Horses. In 2019 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) (1157-1164). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2019.8790319

Microarrays can be employed to better characterise allergies, as interactions between antibodies and allergens in mammals can be monitored. Once the joint dynamics of these elements in both healthy and diseased animals are understood, a model to pred...

Fuzzy Hot Spot Identification for Big Data: An Initial Approach (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Triguero, I., Tickle, R., Figueredo, G. P., Mesgarpour, M., Ozcan, E., & John, R. I. (2019). Fuzzy Hot Spot Identification for Big Data: An Initial Approach. In 2019 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE). https://doi.org/10.1109/FUZZ-IEEE.2019.8858979

Hot spot identification problems are present across a wide range of areas, such as transportation, health care and energy. Hot spots are locations where a certain type of event occurs with high frequency. A recent big data approach is capable of iden...

© 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Hot spot identification is a very relevant problem in a wide variety of areas such as health care, energy or transportation. A hot spot is defined as a region of high likelihood o... Read More about PAS3-HSID: a Dynamic Bio-Inspired Approach for Real-Time Hot Spot Identification in Data Streams.

A Systemic Dynamics Model of Text Production (2019)
Journal Article
Figueredo, G., & Figueredo, G. P. (2020). A Systemic Dynamics Model of Text Production. Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, 27(4), 291-320. https://doi.org/10.1080/09296174.2019.1567301

This paper introduces a quantitative model of text as it unfolds in time. The model conceptualizes text as a functional unit of language. This organization can be difficult to identify because it forms complex patterns of linguistic laws, probability... Read More about A Systemic Dynamics Model of Text Production.
