The continuity of monadic stream functions (2017)
Conference Proceeding

© 2017 IEEE. Brouwer's continuity principle states that all functions from infinite sequences of naturals to naturals are continuous, that is, for every sequence the result depends only on a finite initial segment. It is an intuitionistic axiom that... Read More about The continuity of monadic stream functions.

Automatic Detection of ADHD and ASD from Expressive Behaviour in RGBD Data (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are neurodevelopmental conditions which impact on a significant number of children and adults.

Small Sample Deep Learning for Newborn Gestational Age Estimation (2017)
Conference Proceeding

A baby’s gestational age determines whether or not they are preterm, which helps clinicians decide on suitable post-natal treatment. The most accurate dating methods use Ultrasound Scan (USS) machines, but these machines are expensive, require traine...
