Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O’Keefe, B., Flint, T., Mastermaker, M., Sturdee, M., Chirico, A., & Benyon, D. (2020, February). Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction. Presented at 5th Annual Frameless XR Symposium 2020, Online

The increasing ubiquity of interactions that involve complementary digital content, physical objects, and spaces, brings about new challenges for designers. There is a need to embed designs in legacy systems, whether those are existing physical struc... Read More about Designing Blended Experiences: Laugh Traders Design Fiction.

Twenty Years of Confusion in Human Evaluation: NLG Needs Evaluation Sheets and Standardised Definition (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Howcroft, D., Belz, A., Clinciu, M., Gkatzia, D., Hasan, S. A., Mahamood, S., Mille, S., van Miltenburg, E., Santhanam, S., & Rieser, V. (2020, December). Twenty Years of Confusion in Human Evaluation: NLG Needs Evaluation Sheets and Standardised Definition. Presented at International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2020), Dublin, Ireland

Human assessment remains the most trusted form of evaluation in NLG, but highly diverse approaches and a proliferation of different quality criteria used by researchers make it difficult to compare results and draw conclusions across papers, with adv...

Improving the Naturalness and Diversity of Referring Expression Generation models using Minimum Risk Training (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Panagiaris, N., Hart, E., & Gkatzia, D. (2020, December). Improving the Naturalness and Diversity of Referring Expression Generation models using Minimum Risk Training. Presented at International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2020), Dublin, Ireland

In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing neural Referring Expression Generation (REG) models with sequence level objectives. Recently reinforcement learning (RL) techniques have been adopted to train deep end-to-end systems to directly opt...

A Design of UWB Band-Pass Filter with Variable Dual Notched Bands Using EBG Structure (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parchin, N. O., Basherlou, H. J., Al-Yasir, Y. I., Abdulkhaleq, A. M., See, C. H., & Abd-Alhameed, R. A. (2020, June). A Design of UWB Band-Pass Filter with Variable Dual Notched Bands Using EBG Structure. Presented at NTU International Multi-Disciplinary Conference: “Sustainable Development and Smart Planning”, Egypt

A new design of band-pass filter (BPF) with variable dual notched bands characteristic is introduced for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The configuration of the proposed BPF contains a rectangular-ring stub loaded with parallel-coupled li...

Dynamic observers for unknown populations (2020)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., Poppelreiter, N., Rebarber, R., Tenhumberg, B., & Townley, S. (2021). Dynamic observers for unknown populations. Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B, 26(6), 3279-3302. https://doi.org/10.3934/dcdsb.2020232

Dynamic observers are considered in the context of structured population modeling and management. Roughly, observers combine a known measured variable of some process with a model of that process to asymptotically reconstruct the unknown state variab...

Opportunities and Challenges in Statistical Analysis of Transportation Data: Where We Are and Where We Are Going (2020)
Report
Fountas, G., Anastasopoulos, P. C., & Boyle, L. (2020). Opportunities and Challenges in Statistical Analysis of Transportation Data: Where We Are and Where We Are Going. Transportation Research Board

Standing Committee on Statistical Methods (ABJ80). Over the last three decades, the committee has significantly broadened its focus across nearly all aspects of transportation. However, the “starting ground” of the committee’s activities has remained...

Assisting Information Practice: From Information Intermediary To Social Proxy (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cruickshank, P., Webster, G., & Ryan, F. (2020, September). Assisting Information Practice: From Information Intermediary To Social Proxy. Presented at ISIC 2020 The Information Behaviour conference, Pretoria, South Africa

The increasing dependence on social media and other online systems as part of everyday life has grown considerably over the years. At the same time, the complexity and security of online systems has also been increasing, making it more challenging fo...

Towards a Definition of Metaskills (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stephen, K., Muir, L., & Hall, H. (2020, October). Towards a Definition of Metaskills. Presented at ISIC 2020: The Information Behaviour Conference, Pretoria, South Africa

Introduction: The term ‘metaskill’ has been used to mean a range of different types of information-based skill. This poster describes this variation in use across disciplines and industries, and two distinct but related definitions are found. Method... Read More about Towards a Definition of Metaskills.
