Cache as a service: Leveraging sdn to efficiently and transparently support video-on-demand on the last mile (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Georgopoulos, P., Broadbent, M., Plattner, B., & Race, N. (2014, August). Cache as a service: Leveraging sdn to efficiently and transparently support video-on-demand on the last mile. Presented at 2014 23rd International Conference on Computer Communication and Networks (ICCCN), Shanghai, China

High quality online video streaming, both live and on-demand, has become an essential part of consumers' every-day lives. The popularity of video streaming has placed a heavy burden on the network infrastructure that now has to transfer an enormous a...

An evolutionary model explaining the Neolithic transition from egalitarianism to leadership and despotism. (2014)
Journal Article
Powers, S. T., & Lehmann, L. (2014). An evolutionary model explaining the Neolithic transition from egalitarianism to leadership and despotism. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281, 20141349-20141349. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2014.1349

The Neolithic was marked by a transition from small and relatively egalitarian groups, to much larger groups with increased stratification. But the dynamics of this
remain poorly understood. It is hard to see how despotism can arise without coercion... Read More about An evolutionary model explaining the Neolithic transition from egalitarianism to leadership and despotism..

AspNet: Aspect Extraction by Bootstrapping Generalization and Propagation Using an Aspect Network (2014)
Journal Article
Xia, Y., Cambria, E., & Hussain, A. (2015). AspNet: Aspect Extraction by Bootstrapping Generalization and Propagation Using an Aspect Network. Cognitive Computation, 7(2), 241-253. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-014-9305-9

Aspect-level opinion mining systems suffer from concept coverage problem due to the richness and ambiguity of natural language opinions. Aspects mentioned by review authors can be expressed in various forms, resulting in a potentially large number of...

Content aware texture mapping on deformable surfaces (2014)
Patent
Koniaris, C., Cosker, D., Yang, X., Mitchell, K., & Matthews, I. (2014). Content aware texture mapping on deformable surfaces. US2014267306

A method is disclosed for reducing distortions introduced by deformation of a surface with an existing parameterization. In one embodiment, the distortions are reduced over a user-specified convex region in texture space ensuring optimization is loca...

Complete anatomy of Heartbleed, Truecrypt and large-scale vulnerabilities. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J. (2014, September). Complete anatomy of Heartbleed, Truecrypt and large-scale vulnerabilities. Paper presented at 7th International Conference on Security of Information and Networks (SIN 2014)

This presentation will outline some new research related to the Heartbleed vulnerability, and cover the full technical details of the threat, with a live demo. Along with it will show how Heartbleed is detected on networked device, and some new resea... Read More about Complete anatomy of Heartbleed, Truecrypt and large-scale vulnerabilities..

Is British HCI Important? A topic-based comparison with CHI (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Padilla, S., Methven, T. S., & Chandler, M. J. (2014, September). Is British HCI Important? A topic-based comparison with CHI. Paper presented at HCI 2014 - Sand, Sea and Sky - Holiday HCI, Southport, UK

We have applied topic modelling to the full-text British HCI and CHI corpora in order to automatically derive one hundred topics and their trends. We use these to compare the distributions of topics and changing foci of two conferences over the last... Read More about Is British HCI Important? A topic-based comparison with CHI.

Generating Verbal Descriptions from Medical Sensor Data: A Corpus Study on User Preferences (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., Rieser, V., Mcsporran, A., Mcgowan, A., Mort, A., & Dewar, M. (2014, September). Generating Verbal Descriptions from Medical Sensor Data: A Corpus Study on User Preferences. Presented at BCS Health Informatics Scotland, Glasgow

Understanding and interpreting medical sensor data is an essential part of pre-hospital care in medical emergencies, but requires training and previous knowledge. In this paper, we describe ongoing work towards a medical decision support tool, which... Read More about Generating Verbal Descriptions from Medical Sensor Data: A Corpus Study on User Preferences.

Guiding learners to near native fluency in English through an adaptive programme of activities which includes phoneme and prosody analysis. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lawson, A., Attridge, A., & Lapok, P. (2014, September). Guiding learners to near native fluency in English through an adaptive programme of activities which includes phoneme and prosody analysis. Paper presented at Eurocall 2014

This project aims to address pronunciation problems of English language learners. Current pronunciation software tools mainly address phonemic difficulties and give little or no analytic feedback. Achievement of near native fluency however involves t...
