Small nerve fibre quantification in the diagnosis of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy: comparing corneal confocal microscopy with intraepidermal nerve fibre density (2015)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: Quantitative assessment of small fiber damage is key to the early diagnosis and assessment of progression or regression of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN). Intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) is the current gold standard...

Augmenting a guitar with its digital footprint (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We explore how to digitally augment musical instruments by connecting them to their social histories. We describe the use of Internet of Things technologies to connect an acoustic guitar to its digital footprint – a record of how it was designed, bui...

Considering musical structure in location-based experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Locative music experiences are often non-linear and as such the final structure of the music heard is guided by the movements of the user. We note an absence of principles regarding how composers should approach the structuring of such locative sound... Read More about Considering musical structure in location-based experiences.

A compromise based fuzzy goal programming approach with satisfaction function for multi-objective portfolio optimisation (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we investigate a multi-objective portfolio selection model with three criteria: risk, return and liquidity for investors. Non-probabilistic uncertainty factors in the market, such as imprecision and vagueness of investors’ preference an...

A software interface for supporting the application of data science to optimisation (2015)
Journal Article

Many real world problems can be solved effectively by metaheuristics in combination with neighbourhood search. However, implementing neighbourhood search for a particular problem domain can be time consuming and so it is important to get the most val...

A comparison of crossover control mechanisms within single-point selection hyper-heuristics using HyFlex (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Hyper-heuristics are search methodologies which operate at a higher level of abstraction than traditional search and optimisation techniques. Rather than operating on a search space of solutions directly, a hyper-heuristic searches a space of low-lev... Read More about A comparison of crossover control mechanisms within single-point selection hyper-heuristics using HyFlex.

A modified choice function hyper-heuristic controlling unary and binary operators (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Hyper-heuristics are a class of high-level search methodologies which operate on a search space of low-level heuristics or components, rather than on solutions directly. Traditional iterative selection hyper-heuristics rely on two key components, a h... Read More about A modified choice function hyper-heuristic controlling unary and binary operators.

A simulated annealing approach to supplier selection aware inventory planning (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Selection of an appropriate supplier is a crucial and challenging task in the effective management of a supply chain. Also, appropriate inventory management is critical to the success of a supply chain operation. In recent years, there has been a gro...

Indexed containers (2015)
Journal Article

We show that the syntactically rich notion of strictly positive families can be reduced to a core type theory with a fixed number of type constructors exploiting the novel notion of indexed containers. As a result, we show indexed containers provide... Read More about Indexed containers.

Spatial monitoring of groundwater drawdown and rebound associated with quarry dewatering using automated time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography and distribution guided clustering (2015)
Journal Article

Dewatering systems used for mining and quarrying operations often result in highly artificial and complex groundwater conditions, which can be difficult to characterise and monitor using borehole point sampling approaches. Here automated time-lapse e...

Efficient minimal preference change (2015)
Journal Article

In this article, we study a minimal change approach to preference dynamics. We treat a set of preferences as a special kind of theory, and define minimal change preference contraction and revision operations in the spirit of the Alchourrón, Gärdenfor...

Markers of progression in early-stage invasive breast cancer: a predictive immunohistochemical panel algorithm for distant recurrence risk stratification (2015)
Journal Article

Accurate distant metastasis (DM) prediction is critical for risk stratification and effective treatment decisions in breast cancer (BC). Many prognostic markers/models based on tissue marker studies are continually emerging using conventional statist...

Feature-based Lucas-Kanade and Active Appearance Models (2015)
Journal Article

Lucas-Kanade and Active Appearance Models are among the most commonly used methods for image alignment and facial fitting, respectively. They both utilize non-linear gradient descent, which is usually applied on intensity values. In this paper, we pr... Read More about Feature-based Lucas-Kanade and Active Appearance Models.

Identifying candidate risk factors for prescription drug side effects using causal contrast set mining (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Big longitudinal observational databases present the opportunity to extract new knowledge in a cost effective manner. Unfortunately, the ability of these databases to be used for causal inference is limited due to the passive way in which the data ar...
