Nonlinear speech enhancement: An overview (2007)
Book Chapter
Hussain, A., Chetouani, M., Squartini, S., Bastari, A., & Piazza, F. (2007). Nonlinear speech enhancement: An overview. In Progress in Nonlinear Speech Processing (217-248). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-71505-4_12

This paper deals with the problem of enhancing the quality of speech signals, which has received growing attention in the last few decades. Many different approaches have been proposed in the literature under various configurations and operating hypo... Read More about Nonlinear speech enhancement: An overview.

Exponential stabilization of the inertia wheel pendulum using dynamic surface control (2007)
Journal Article
Qaiser, N., Iqbal, N., Hussain, A., & Qaiser, N. (2007). Exponential stabilization of the inertia wheel pendulum using dynamic surface control. Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, 16(1), 81-92. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218126607003514

This paper considers the stabilization problem of Inertia Wheel Pendulum, a widely studied benchmark nonlinear system. It is a classical example of a flat underactuated mechanical system, for which the design of control law becomes a challenging task...

A novel psychoacoustically motivated multichannel speech enhancement system (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, A., Cifani, S., Squartini, S., Piazza, F., & Durrani, T. (2007, March). A novel psychoacoustically motivated multichannel speech enhancement system. Presented at COST Action 2102 International Workshop, Vietri sul Mare, Italy

The ubiquitous noise reduction / speech enhancement problem has gained an increasing interest in recent years. This is due both to progress made by microphone-array systems and to the successful introduction of perceptual models. In the last decade,...

Empirical Validation of a Gossiping Communication Mechanism for Parallel EAs (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Laredo, J. L. J., Castillo, P. A., Paechter, B., Mora, A. M., Alfaro-Cid, E., Esparcia-Alcazar, A. I., & Merelo, J. J. (2007, December). Empirical Validation of a Gossiping Communication Mechanism for Parallel EAs. Presented at EvoWorkshops: Workshops on Applications of Evolutionary Computation

The development of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is still a challenge due to the huge number of factors involved. Validation of these systems must be defined in terms of describing the adequacy of the P2P model to the actual environment. This paper focu...

Boosting the Performance of a Multiobjective Algorithm to Design RBFNNs Through Parallelization (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Guillen, A., Rojas, I., Gonzalez, J., Pomares, H., Herrera, L. J., & Paechter, B. (2007, April). Boosting the Performance of a Multiobjective Algorithm to Design RBFNNs Through Parallelization. Presented at ICANNGA: International Conference on Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms, Warsaw, Poland

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNNs) have been widely used to solve classification and regression tasks providing satisfactory results. The main issue when working with RBFNNs is how to design them because this task requires the optimizatio...

Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites (2007)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D. (2007). Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites. In P. Zaphiris, & S. Kurniawan (Eds.), Human Computer Interaction Research in Web Design and Evaluation (165-184). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-59904-246-6.ch008

Information architecture concerns how to structure the content of an information space. Information architects design information spaces. Staying with the notion of information space leads us to the realisation that people need to be able to both con... Read More about Information Architecture and Navigation Design for Web Sites.

Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2006, September). Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. Presented at HCI Conference 2006

This short paper presents an experimental approach to the difficulty of evaluating interactive systems as artefacts for everyday life. The problem arises from the event-like nature of the user-centred evaluation session, as distinct from ‘being’ or t...

Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, S., & Liu, X. (2007). Quality metrics for internet applications: developing new from old. . https://doi.org/10.1109/COMPSAC.2007.176

This discussion concerns ?metrics?. More specifically, we discuss quantitative metrics for evaluating Internet applications: what should we quantify, monitor and analyse in order to characterise, evaluate and develop Internet applications based on re...

RKB: A Knowledge base to support research documentation, data, GIS, spatial data and communications for a major rail freight project. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Kukla, R., Benjamins, M., & Grashoff, P. (2007, October). RKB: A Knowledge base to support research documentation, data, GIS, spatial data and communications for a major rail freight project. Presented at European transport conference 2007

The paper places data and document access, use and exploration systems in the context of the Data Observatories movement, as well as the document repository systems now becoming mandated for universities. It will show how taking these developments in... Read More about RKB: A Knowledge base to support research documentation, data, GIS, spatial data and communications for a major rail freight project..
