Despite the success of plastic bag charges in the UK, there are still around a billion single-use plastic bags bought each year in England alone, and the government have made plans to increase the levy from 5 to 10 pence. Previous research has identi... Read More about Psychological and Demographic Predictors of Plastic Bag Consumption in Transaction Data.

FIMS: Identifying, Predicting and Visualising Food Insecurity (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lucas, B., Smith, A., Smith, G., Perrat, B., Nica-Avram, G., Harvey, J., & Goulding, J. (2020). FIMS: Identifying, Predicting and Visualising Food Insecurity. In WWW '20: Companion Proceedings of the Web Conference 2020 (190-193). https://doi.org/10.1145/3366424.3383538

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...

Prosocial exchange systems: Nonreciprocal giving, lending, and skill-sharing (2020)
Journal Article
Harvey, J., Smith, A., Golightly, D., Goulding, J., & Gallage, H. S. (2020). Prosocial exchange systems: Nonreciprocal giving, lending, and skill-sharing. Computers in Human Behavior, 107, Article 106268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2020.106268

Prosocial exchange systems support cooperation and exchange in support of more sustainable forms of consumption. While often assumed that exchanges within such systems are reciprocal, it remains unproven as to what extent reciprocity occurs. This stu...

Advances in digital technology have led to large amounts of personal data being recorded and retained by industry, constituting an invaluable asset to private organizations. The implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation in the EU, incl... Read More about Psychology of personal data donation.

The unbanked and poverty: predicting area-level socio-economic vulnerability from M-Money transactions (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Engelmann, G., Smith, G., & Goulding, J. (2018). The unbanked and poverty: predicting area-level socio-economic vulnerability from M-Money transactions.

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...

Generating vague neighbourhoods through data mining of passive web data (2017)
Journal Article
Brindley, P., Goulding, J., & Wilson, M. L. (in press). Generating vague neighbourhoods through data mining of passive web data. International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 32(3), https://doi.org/10.1080/13658816.2017.1400549

Neighbourhoods have been described as \the building blocks of public services society". Their subjective nature, however, and the resulting difficulties in collecting data, means that in many countries there are no officially defined neighbourhoods e...

A novel symbolization technique for time-series outlier detection (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, G., & Goulding, J. (2015). A novel symbolization technique for time-series outlier detection. In 2015 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data). https://doi.org/10.1109/BigData.2015.7364037

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

A refined limit on the predictability of human mobility (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, G., Wieser, R., Goulding, J., & Barrack, D. (2014). A refined limit on the predictability of human mobility. In 2014 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom). https://doi.org/10.1109/PerCom.2014.6813948

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...
