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.

Hot topics in CHI: trend maps for visualising research (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Padilla, S., Methven, T. S., Corne, D. W., & Chantler, M. J. (2014, April). Hot topics in CHI: trend maps for visualising research. Presented at 2014 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel method of identifying and visualising research trends in an automated, unbiased way. The output of this we call a 'Trend Map', and in this paper we use it to present an at-a-glance overview of the CHI res... Read More about Hot topics in CHI: trend maps for visualising research.

How Well Do Computational Features Perceptually Rank Textures? A Comparative Evaluation (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, X., Methven, T. S., & Chantler, M. J. (2014, April). How Well Do Computational Features Perceptually Rank Textures? A Comparative Evaluation. Presented at ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Inspired by studies [4, 23, 40] which compared rankings obtained by search engines and human observers, in this paper we compare texture rankings derived by 51 sets of computational features against perceptual texture rankings obtained from a free-gr...

Research Strategy Generation: Avoiding Academic 'Animal Farm' (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Methven, T. S., Padilla, S., Corne, D. W., & Chantler, M. J. (2014, February). Research Strategy Generation: Avoiding Academic 'Animal Farm'. Presented at 17th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing, Baltimore, Maryland

In his famous novel, Animal Farm, Orwell coined the phrase 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' [4]. This satirical observation aptly describes many common problems which emerge in group dynamics, such as the problem o... Read More about Research Strategy Generation: Avoiding Academic 'Animal Farm'.
