Comparing data-mining algorithms developed for longitudinal observational databases
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...

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 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
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.

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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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...

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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Deines, R. From the centre to the margins: German-speaking scholarship on Matthew’s Gospel as a case study for Matthean scholarship as a whole.

Matthean scholarship was once a booming discipline and one of the centres of New Testament research; it’s probably not just biased prejudice when a German claims that the initial thrust behind the heyday of Matthean scholarship in the early second ha...
