Digital cultural knowledge and curriculum: the experiences of international students as they moved from on-campus to on-line education during the pandemic (2023)
Journal Article
Costa, C., & Li, H. (online). Digital cultural knowledge and curriculum: the experiences of international students as they moved from on-campus to on-line education during the pandemic. Learning, Media and Technology, https://doi.org/10.1080/17439884.2023.2218097

This paper explores how COVID-19 affected the experiences of international students enrolled to UK on-campus universities and how they made sense, navigated and lived out the on-line university as the possible educational alternative put in place dur...

Language as a latent sequence: Deep latent variable models for semi-supervised paraphrase generation (2023)
Journal Article
Yu, J., Cristea, A. I., Harit, A., Sun, Z., Aduragba, O. T., Shi, L., & Al Moubayed, N. (2023). Language as a latent sequence: Deep latent variable models for semi-supervised paraphrase generation. AI open, 4, 19-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aiopen.2023.05.001

This paper explores deep latent variable models for semi-supervised paraphrase generation, where the missing target pair for unlabelled data is modelled as a latent paraphrase sequence. We present a novel unsupervised model named variational sequence... Read More about Language as a latent sequence: Deep latent variable models for semi-supervised paraphrase generation.

Going round in circles: Geometry in the early years (2023)
Journal Article
Oughton, R. H., Wheadon, D. M., Bolden, D. S., Nichols, K., Fearn, S., Darwin, S., Dixon-Jones, S., Mistry, M., Peyerimhoff, N., & Townsend, A. (2023). Going round in circles: Geometry in the early years. Mathematics teaching, 286, 29-34

The research described here came from a collaboration between university-based mathematicians and early years (EY) educators. The project emerged naturally, driven by the felt need of the EY educators to develop a broader understanding and appreciati... Read More about Going round in circles: Geometry in the early years.

Sr analyses from only known Scandinavian cremation cemetery in Britain illuminate early Viking journey with horse and dog across the North Sea (2023)
Journal Article
Loeffelmann, T., Janet Montgomery, J., Richards, J. D., Johnson, L. J., Claeys, P., & Snoeck, C. (2023). Sr analyses from only known Scandinavian cremation cemetery in Britain illuminate early Viking journey with horse and dog across the North Sea. PLoS ONE, 18(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0280589

The barrow cemetery at Heath Wood, Derbyshire, is the only known Viking cremation cemetery in the British Isles. It dates to the late ninth century and is associated with the over-wintering of the Viking Great Army at nearby Repton in AD 873–4. Only...

Human activities favour prolific life histories in both traded and introduced vertebrates (2023)
Journal Article
Street, S. E., Gutiérrez, J. S., Allen, W. L., & Capellini, I. (2023). Human activities favour prolific life histories in both traded and introduced vertebrates. Nature Communications, 14(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-35765-6

Species’ life histories determine population demographics and thus the probability that introduced populations establish and spread. Life histories also influence which species are most likely to be introduced, but how such ‘introduction biases’ aris...

Is Unimodal Bias Always Bad for Visual Question Answering? A Medical Domain Study with Dynamic Attention (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sun, Z., Harit, A., Cristea, A. I., Yu, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Shi, L. (2022, December). Is Unimodal Bias Always Bad for Visual Question Answering? A Medical Domain Study with Dynamic Attention. Presented at IEEE Big Data, Osaka, Japan

Medical visual question answering (Med-VQA) is to answer medical questions based on clinical images provided. This field is still in its infancy due to the complexity of the trio formed of questions, multimodal features and expert knowledge. In this...

Exploring task design to promote discipline-specific reasoning in primary English (2022)
Journal Article
Oliver, M., & Higgins, S. (2023). Exploring task design to promote discipline-specific reasoning in primary English. Thinking Skills and Creativity, 47, Article 101230. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsc.2022.101230

This paper draws upon a growing body of research emphasising the importance and prevalence of domain-specific practices in teaching and learning. Different disciplines have their own reasoning practices, conceptualised as reasoning styles, which are...
