Greedy feature construction (2016)
Journal Article

We present an effective method for supervised feature construction. The main goal of the approach is to construct a feature representation for which a set of linear hypotheses is of sufficient capacity -- large enough to contain a satisfactory soluti... Read More about Greedy feature construction.

Video gaming as practical accomplishment: ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and play (2016)
Journal Article

Accounts of video game play developed from an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic (EMCA) perspective remain relatively scarce. This paper collects together an emerging, if scattered, body of research which focusses on the material, practica...

An application programming interface with increased performance for optimisation problems data (2016)
Journal Article

An optimisation problem can have many forms and variants. It may consider different objectives, constraints, and variables. For that reason, providing a general application programming interface (API) to handle the problem data efficiently in all sce...

Inner disturbance: towards understanding the design of vertigo games through a novel balancing game (2016)
Conference Proceeding

The design space of vertigo games is under-explored, despite vertigo underlying many unique body based game experiences, such as rock climbing and dancing. In this paper we articulate the design and evaluation of a novel vertigo experience, Inner Dis...

Developing agent-based simulation models for social systems engineering studies: A novel framework and its application to modelling peacebuilding activities (2016)
Book Chapter

© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. When looking for a ‘what-if’ analysis tool to support social systems engineering studies, agent-based modelling and simulation should be the method of choice. It is a well-established method for studying human-centric...

Solving the randomly generated university examination timetabling problem through Domain Transformation Approach (DTA) (2016)
Book Chapter

Amongst the wide-ranging areas of the timetabling problems, educational timetabling was reported as one of the most studied and researched areas in the timetabling literature. In this paper, our focus is the university examination timetabling. Despit...

Cancer subtype identification pipeline: a classifusion approach (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Classification of cancer patients into treatment groups is essential for appropriate diagnosis to increase survival. Previously, a series of papers, largely published in the breast cancer domain have leveraged Computational Intelligence (CI) developm...

An investigation of tuning a memetic algorithm for cross-domain search (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Memetic algorithms, which hybridise evolutionary algorithms with local search, are well-known metaheuristics for solving combinatorial optimisation problems. A common issue with the application of a memetic algorithm is determining the best initial s... Read More about An investigation of tuning a memetic algorithm for cross-domain search.

Give me poetical science: an invited speaker abstract for RM4ACI (Research Methods in ACI) workshop (2016)
Conference Proceeding

My big themes in this paper are: (i) ‘poetical science’: amalgamating quantitative and qualitative methods into a new hybrid approach for ACI and (ii) identifying ‘honest’ routes to user-centred design for ‘unaware’ interactors (be they neurodiverse...

Ask Alice: an artificial retrieval of information agent (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We present a demonstration of the ARIA framework, a modular approach for rapid development of virtual humans for information retrieval that have linguistic, emotional, and social skills and a strong personality. We demonstrate the framework’s capabil... Read More about Ask Alice: an artificial retrieval of information agent.

Valorising the IoT Databox: creating value for everyone (2016)
Journal Article

The Internet of Things is expected to generate large amounts of heterogeneous data from diverse sources including physical sensors, user devices and social media platforms.

Measuring the similarity between zSlices general type-2 fuzzy sets with non-normal Secondary membership functions (2016)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a method of measuring the similarity between general type-2 fuzzy sets that may have non-normal secondary membership functions. Such fuzzy sets are increasingly common in applications such as the modelling of the subjective meanin...

Modelling uncertainty in production processes using non-singleton fuzzification and fuzzy cognitive maps: a virgin olive oil case study (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Decision support systems (DSSs) are a convenient tool to aid plant operators in the selection of process set points. Inputs to these systems for variables that are not easily measured online often come from assessments made by experts, with an associ...

A similarity-based inference engine for non-singleton fuzzy logic systems (2016)
Conference Proceeding

In non-singleton fuzzy logic systems (NSFLSs) input uncertainties are modelled with input fuzzy sets in order to capture input uncertainty such as sensor noise. The performance of NSFLSs in handling such uncertainties depends both on the actual input... Read More about A similarity-based inference engine for non-singleton fuzzy logic systems.

Exploring differences in interpretation of words essential in medical expert-patient communication (2016)
