It is popular to use real-world data to evaluate or teach data mining techniques. However, there are some disadvantages to use real-world data for such purposes. Firstly, real-world data in most domains is difficult to obtain for several reasons, suc... Read More about Towards a Synthetic Data Generator for Matching Decision Trees.

Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation (2016)
Book Chapter
Wells, S. (2016). Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation. In Argumentation and Reasoned Action Volume 2 (1045-1063). College Publications

We introduce combinatorial dialogue games, an approach to strategizing within argumentative dialogue games where the moves played are interpreted as moves within an edge addition and/or edge-removal combinatorial game. This enables an agent to reason... Read More about Combinatorial Dialogue Games in Strategic Argumentation.

Real-time variable rigidity texture mapping (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Koniaris, C., Mitchell, K., & Cosker, D. (2015, November). Real-time variable rigidity texture mapping. Presented at Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Visual Media Production - CVMP '15

Parameterisation of models is typically generated for a single pose, the rest pose. When a model deforms, its parameterisation characteristics change, leading to distortions in the appearance of texture-mapped mesostructure. Such distortions are unde...
