Activity profiles of soccer players during the 2010 world cup. (2013)
Journal Article
Clemente, F. M., Couceiro, M. S., Lourenço Martins, F. M., Ivanova, M. O., & Mendes, R. (2013). Activity profiles of soccer players during the 2010 world cup. Journal of Human Kinetics, 38, 201-211. https://doi.org/10.2478/hukin-2013-0060

The main objective of this study was to analyse the distance covered and the activity profile that players presented at the FIFA World Cup in 2010. Complementarily, the distance covered by each team within the same competition was analysed. For the p... Read More about Activity profiles of soccer players during the 2010 world cup..

Using Knowledge Organisation to Manage Information Risk (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Haynes, D. (2013, October). Using Knowledge Organisation to Manage Information Risk. Paper presented at ISKO UK Meeting on “Information –a risky business”, London

Categorising information risk helps us to develop a strategy approach to risk management. Existing classifications focus on natural disasters or human generated catastrophes and do not lend themselves to classification of information risk.

Novel Two-Stage Audiovisual Speech Filtering in Noisy Environments (2013)
Journal Article
Abel, A., & Hussain, A. (2014). Novel Two-Stage Audiovisual Speech Filtering in Noisy Environments. Cognitive Computation, 6(2), 200-217. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-013-9231-2

In recent years, the established link between the various human communication production domains has become more widely utilised in the field of speech processing. In this work, we build on previous work by the authors and present a novel two-stage a... Read More about Novel Two-Stage Audiovisual Speech Filtering in Noisy Environments.

Facets of DREaM: a social network analysis exploring network development in the UK LIS research community. (2013)
Journal Article
Cooke, L., & Hall, H. (2013). Facets of DREaM: a social network analysis exploring network development in the UK LIS research community. Journal of Documentation, 69(6), 786-806. https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-09-2012-0124

Purpose: This paper reviews the value of Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a method appropriate to LIS research. SNA is used to investigate the effectiveness of a framework of methods adopted by the DREaM project to develop researcher-practitioner net...

A measure to assess the behavior of method stereotypes in object-oriented software (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., Pakhira, A., Moreno, L., & Marcus, A. (2013, May). A measure to assess the behavior of method stereotypes in object-oriented software. Presented at 2013 4th International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics (WETSoM), San Francisco, CA, USA

The implementation of software systems should ideally follow the design intentions of the system. However, this is not always the case - the design and implementation of software systems may diverge during software evolution. In this paper we propose...

Cheng, L. (2013). Sketch of Tai Nan Street. Hong Kong

大南街是位於深水埗的街道,漫步此道,就像走過歷史,看到當年的香港。這裡沒甚麼歷史大事件,而是極盛極衰的環境下生活的人們,堅守本分,這些片段來得更誠實真摯。樂曲將會以單簧管、中提琴及低音大提琴演奏,凝聚這細緻和諧的一幕。 Read More about Sketch of Tai Nan Street.

Stereoscopic viewing, roughness and gloss perception (2013)
Thesis
Methven, T. S. Stereoscopic viewing, roughness and gloss perception. (Thesis). Heriot-Watt University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1321014

This thesis presents a novel investigation into the effect stereoscopic vision has upon the strength of perceived gloss on rough surfaces. We demonstrate that in certain cases disparity is necessary for accurate judgements of gloss strength. We first... Read More about Stereoscopic viewing, roughness and gloss perception.

On preserving statistical characteristics of accelerometry data using their empirical cumulative distribution (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hammerla, N. Y., Kirkham, R., Andras, P., & Ploetz, T. (2013, September). On preserving statistical characteristics of accelerometry data using their empirical cumulative distribution. Presented at UbiComp '13: The 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, Zurich, Switzerland

The majority of activity recognition systems in wearable computing rely on a set of statistical measures, such as means and moments, extracted from short frames of continuous sensor measurements to perform recognition. These features implicitly quant... Read More about On preserving statistical characteristics of accelerometry data using their empirical cumulative distribution.

Sentic blending: Scalable multimodal fusion for the continuous interpretation of semantics and sentics (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cambria, E., Howard, N., Hsu, J., & Hussain, A. (2013, April). Sentic blending: Scalable multimodal fusion for the continuous interpretation of semantics and sentics. Presented at 2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Human-like Intelligence (CIHLI), Singapore, Singapore

The capability of interpreting the conceptual and affective information associated with natural language through different modalities is a key issue for the enhancement of human-agent interaction. The proposed methodology, termed sentic blending, ena... Read More about Sentic blending: Scalable multimodal fusion for the continuous interpretation of semantics and sentics.
