MLCut: exploring multi-level cuts in dendrograms for biological data (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vogogias, A., Kennedy, J., Archambault, D., Anne Smith, V., & Currant, H. (2016, September). MLCut: exploring multi-level cuts in dendrograms for biological data. Presented at Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) 2016

Choosing a single similarity threshold for cutting dendrograms is not sufficient for performing hierarchical clustering analysis of heterogeneous data sets. In addition, alternative automated or semi-automated methods that cut dendrograms in multiple... Read More about MLCut: exploring multi-level cuts in dendrograms for biological data.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves>, A., Clarke, C., Bellino, A., Esteves, A., Velloso, E., & Gellersen, H. (2016, September). TraceMatch: a computer vision technique for user input by tracing of animated controls. Presented at Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing - UbiComp '16

Recent works have explored the concept of movement correlation interfaces, in which moving objects can be selected by matching the movement of the input device to that of the desired object. Previous techniques relied on a single modality (e.g. gaze... Read More about TraceMatch: a computer vision technique for user input by tracing of animated controls.
