Comparing data-mining algorithms developed for longitudinal observational databases
Conference Proceeding
Reps, J., Garibaldi, J. M., Aickelin, U., Soria, D., Gibson, J. E., & Hubbard, R. B. Comparing data-mining algorithms developed for longitudinal observational databases.

Longitudinal observational databases have become a recent interest in the post marketing drug surveillance community due to their ability of presenting a new perspective for detecting negative side effects. Algorithms mining longitudinal observation... Read More about Comparing data-mining algorithms developed for longitudinal observational databases.

Discovering sequential patterns in a UK general practice database
Conference Proceeding
Reps, J., Garibaldi, J. M., Aickelin, U., Soria, D., Gibson, J. E., & Hubbard, R. B. Discovering sequential patterns in a UK general practice database.

The wealth of computerised medical information becoming readily available presents the opportunity to examine patterns of illnesses, therapies and responses. These patterns may be able to predict illnesses that a patient is likely to develop, allowi... Read More about Discovering sequential patterns in a UK general practice database.

Biomarker clustering of colorectal cancer data to complement clinical classification
Conference Proceeding
Roadknight, C., Aickelin, U., Ladas, A., Soria, D., Scholefield, J., & Durrant, L. Biomarker clustering of colorectal cancer data to complement clinical classification.

In this paper, we describe a dataset relating to cellular and physical conditions of patients who are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into immunological status at the point of tumour removal, tumour...

Unconditional quantile regressions, earnings disparity and gender discrimination in post-transformation of urban China
Conference Proceeding
Tang, Y., & Long, W. Unconditional quantile regressions, earnings disparity and gender discrimination in post-transformation of urban China.

Market-oriented economic reform has gone through several key stages to bring substantial changes to current Chinese economy. It has accelerated after 1992, and meets the pattern transformation of economic development in 2002. During this dramatic and...

Modelling the effects of user learning on forced innovation diffusion
Conference Proceeding
Zhang, T., Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. Modelling the effects of user learning on forced innovation diffusion.

Technology adoption theories assume that users’ acceptance of an innovative technology is on a voluntary basis. However, sometimes users are force to accept an innovation. In this case users have to learn what it is useful for and how to use it. This... Read More about Modelling the effects of user learning on forced innovation diffusion.

Focused ion beam milling of brass for microinjection mould fabrication
Conference Proceeding
Vladov, N., Ratchev, S., & Segal, J. Focused ion beam milling of brass for microinjection mould fabrication.

In this paper focused ion beam (FIB) milling (sputtering) is demonstrated for the fabrication of brass microinjection moulding inserts which have been previously conventionally milled. It is found that FIB milling of the α phase of the material resul... Read More about Focused ion beam milling of brass for microinjection mould fabrication.

The application of a data mining framework to energy usage profiling in domestic residences using UK data
Conference Proceeding
Dent, I., Aickelin, U., & Rodden, T. The application of a data mining framework to energy usage profiling in domestic residences using UK data.

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in order that supplies can be maintained. Clustering allows usage proles collected at the household level to be clustered into groups and...

Examining the classification accuracy of TSVMs with feature selection in comparison with the GLAD algorithm
Conference Proceeding
Helmi, H., Garibaldi, J. M., & Aickelin, U. Examining the classification accuracy of TSVMs with feature selection in comparison with the GLAD algorithm.

Gene expression data sets are used to classify and predict patient diagnostic categories. As we know, it is extremely difficult and expensive to obtain gene expression labelled examples. Moreover, conventional supervised approaches cannot function pr... Read More about Examining the classification accuracy of TSVMs with feature selection in comparison with the GLAD algorithm.

Conference Proceeding
Lawson, G., Stedmon, A., Zhang, C., Eubanks, D., & Frumkin, L. Deception and self-awareness.

This paper presents a study conducted for the Shades of Grey EPSRC research project (EP/H02302X/1), which aims to develop a suite of interventions for identifying terrorist activities. The study investigated the body movements demonstrated by partici... Read More about Deception and self-awareness.

Investigating the detection of adverse drug events in a UK general practice electronic health-care database
Conference Proceeding
Reps, J., Feyereisl, J., Garibaldi, J. M., Aickelin, U., Gibson, J. E., & Hubbard, R. B. Investigating the detection of adverse drug events in a UK general practice electronic health-care database.

Data-mining techniques have frequently been developed for Spontaneous reporting databases. These techniques aim to find adverse drug events accurately and efficiently. Spontaneous reporting databases are prone to missing information,under reporting...

Comparing decision support tools for cargo screening processes
Conference Proceeding
Siebers, P., Sherman, G., Aickelin, U., & Menachof, D. Comparing decision support tools for cargo screening processes. . Manuscript submitted for publication

When planning to change operations at ports there are two key stake holders with very different interests involved in the decision making processes. Port operators are attentive to their standards, a smooth service flow and economic viability while b... Read More about Comparing decision support tools for cargo screening processes.

A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK
Conference Proceeding
Zhang, T., Siebers, P., & Aickelin, U. A three-dimensional model of residential energy consumer archetypes for local energy policy design in the UK.

This paper reviews major studies in three traditional lines of research in residential energy consumption in the UK, i.e. economic/infrastructure, behaviour, and load profiling. Based on the review the paper proposes a three-dimensional model for arc...
