A study of herding behaviour in exit choice during emergencies based on random utility theory. (2015)
Journal Article
Lovreglio, R., Fonzone, A., dell’Olio, L., & Borri, D. (2016). A study of herding behaviour in exit choice during emergencies based on random utility theory. Safety Science, 82, 421-431. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2015.10.015

Modelling human behaviour in emergencies has become an important issue in safety engineering. Good behavioural models can help increase the safety of transportation systems and buildings in extreme situations like fires or terrorist attacks. Although...

Information density and overlap in spoken dialogue (2015)
Journal Article
Dethlefs, N., Hastie, H., Cuayáhuitl, H., Yu, Y., Rieser, V., & Lemon, O. (2016). Information density and overlap in spoken dialogue. Computer Speech and Language, 37, 82-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csl.2015.11.001

Incremental dialogue systems are often perceived as more responsive and natural because they are able to address phenomena of turn-taking and overlapping speech, such as backchannels or barge-ins. Previous work in this area has often identified disti... Read More about Information density and overlap in spoken dialogue.

High-dimensional function approximation using local linear embedding (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2015). High-dimensional function approximation using local linear embedding. In 2015 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2015.7280370

Neural network approximation of high-dimensional nonlinear functions is difficult due to the sparsity of the data in the high-dimensional data space and the need for good coverage of the data space by the `receptive fields' of the neurons. However, h... Read More about High-dimensional function approximation using local linear embedding.
