Presented at SINCONF 2021: 14th International Conference on Security of Information and Networks, Edinburgh (Online)

The rapid development of technology during the last decades has led to the integration of the network capabilities in the devices that are essential in the operation of Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Consequently, the attack surface of these asset... Read More about VNWTS: A Virtual Water Chlorination Process for Cybersecurity Analysis of Industrial Control Systems.

Using Semantic Technology to Model Persona for Adaptable Agents (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, J., Farrenkopf, T., Guckert, M., Powers, S., & Urquhart, N. (2021, June). Using Semantic Technology to Model Persona for Adaptable Agents. Presented at ECMS 2021

In state of the art research a growing interest in the application of agent models for the simulation of road traffic can be observed. Software agents are particularly suitable for the representation of travellers and their goal-oriented behaviour. A...

The Multimodal Turing Test for Realistic Humanoid Robots with Embodied Artificial Intelligence (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Strathearn, C., & Ma, M. (2020, July). The Multimodal Turing Test for Realistic Humanoid Robots with Embodied Artificial Intelligence. Presented at Lifelike Computing Systems: 8th Edition in the Evolution of the Series of Autonomously Learning and Optimizing Systems (SAOS), Online

Alan Turing developed the Turing Test as a method to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI) can deceive human interrogators into believing it is sentient by competently answering questions at a confidence rate of 30%+. However, the Turing Tes... Read More about The Multimodal Turing Test for Realistic Humanoid Robots with Embodied Artificial Intelligence.

Tracking Stream Quality Issues in Combined Physical and Radar Sensors for IoT-based Data-driven Actuation (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bamgboye, O., Liu, X., Cruickshank, P., Liu, Q., & Zhang, Y. (2021, December). Tracking Stream Quality Issues in Combined Physical and Radar Sensors for IoT-based Data-driven Actuation. Presented at 2021 CIE International Conference on Radar (Radar), Haikou, Hainan, China

In this paper, a stream quality tracking for measurements from combined radar and physical sensors is developed. The authors proposed the use of RDF stream processing system and semantic rules to provide semantic reasoning for tracking erroneous data...

How are we positioning degree apprenticeships? Analysis of adverts (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fabian, K., Taylor-Smith, E., & Smith, S. (2021, December). How are we positioning degree apprenticeships? Analysis of adverts. Presented at SRHE International Conference on Research into Higher Education, Online

Degree apprentices are recruited by employers, rather than universities, reflecting their status as paid employees, first and foremost. This study analysed job adverts for IT degree apprenticeship roles to investigate the: skills, attributes, and qua... Read More about How are we positioning degree apprenticeships?

An Attribute Weight Estimation Using Particle Swarm Optimization and Machine Learning Approaches for Customer Churn Prediction (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kanwal, S., Rashid, J., Kim, J., Nisar, M. W., Hussain, A., Batool, S., & Kanwal, R. (2021, November). An Attribute Weight Estimation Using Particle Swarm Optimization and Machine Learning Approaches for Customer Churn Prediction. Presented at 2021 International Conference on Innovative Computing (ICIC), Lahore, Pakistan

One of the most challenging problems in the telecommunications industry is predicting customer churn (CCP). Decision-makers and business experts stressed that acquiring new clients is more expensive than maintaining current ones. From current churn d...

Underreporting of errors in NLG output, and what to do about it (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
van Miltenburg, E., Clinciu, M.-A., Dušek, O., Gkatzia, D., Inglis, S., Leppänen, L., Mahamood, S., Manning, E., Schoch, S., Thomson, C., & Wen, L. (2021, September). Underreporting of errors in NLG output, and what to do about it. Presented at 14th International Conference on Natural Language Generation, Aberdeen, UK

We observe a severe under-reporting of the different kinds of errors that Natural Language Generation systems make. This is a problem, because mistakes are an important indicator of where systems should still be improved. If authors only report overa...
