On the role of the AIS practitioner
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Read, M., McEwan, C., Aickelin, U., & Greensmith, J. On the role of the AIS practitioner.

Cognisant of the gulf between engineers and immunologists
that currenty hinders a truly inter-disciplinary approach to
the field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), we propose
a redefinition of the term AIS practitioner, as an individual who ident... Read More about On the role of the AIS practitioner.

Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCulloch, J., Wagner, C., & Aickelin, U. Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets.

Similarity measures provide one of the core tools
that enable reasoning about fuzzy sets. While many types of
similarity measures exist for type-1 and interval type-2 fuzzy sets, there are very few similarity measures that enable the comparison of... Read More about Extending similarity measures of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to general type-2 fuzzy sets.

Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heijkoop, J., & Clegg, J. Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID.

The Heijkoop method is used widely in ID challenging behaviour services across Northern Europe; the lack of an English-language account has inhibited its uptake in the UK. The method is fundamentally experiential and aimed at understanding the ‘Who’... Read More about Introduction to the Heijkoop approach to challenging behaviour in ID.

Using clustering to extract personality information from socio economic data
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ladas, A., Aickelin, U., Garibaldi, J. M., & Ferguson, E. Using clustering to extract personality information from socio economic data.

It has become apparent that models that have been applied widely in economics, including Machine Learning techniques and Data Mining methods, should take into consideration principles that derive from the theories of Personality Psychology in order t...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.

Biomarker clustering of colorectal cancer data to complement clinical classification
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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... Read More about Biomarker clustering of colorectal cancer data to complement clinical classification.

Unconditional quantile regressions, earnings disparity and gender discrimination in post-transformation of urban China
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, T., Siebers, P.-O., & 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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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

Examining the classification accuracy of TSVMs with feature selection in comparison with the GLAD algorithm
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.
