Does lossy image compression affect racial bias within face recognition? (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yucer, S., Poyser, M., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2022, October). Does lossy image compression affect racial bias within face recognition?. Presented at International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2022), Abu Dhabi, UAE

This study investigates the impact of commonplace lossy image compression on face recognition algorithms with regard to the racial characteristics of the subject. We adopt a recently proposed racial phenotype-based bias analysis methodology to measur... Read More about Does lossy image compression affect racial bias within face recognition?.

Measuring Hidden Bias within Face Recognition via Racial Phenotypes (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yucer, S., Tekras, F., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2022, January). Measuring Hidden Bias within Face Recognition via Racial Phenotypes. Presented at Proc. Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision, Waikoloa, HI

Recent work reports disparate performance for intersectional racial groups across face recognition tasks: face verification and identification. However, the definition of those racial groups has a significant impact on the underlying findings of such... Read More about Measuring Hidden Bias within Face Recognition via Racial Phenotypes.

Using Variable Natural Environment Brain-Computer Interface Stimuli for Real-time Humanoid Robot Navigation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aznan, N., Connolly, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2019, May). Using Variable Natural Environment Brain-Computer Interface Stimuli for Real-time Humanoid Robot Navigation. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), Montreal, Canada

This paper addresses the challenge of humanoid robot teleoperation in a natural indoor environment via a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). We leverage deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based image and signal understanding to facilitate both real-...

On the Classification of SSVEP-Based Dry-EEG Signals via Convolutional Neural Networks (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aznan, N., Bonner, S., Connolly, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2018, October). On the Classification of SSVEP-Based Dry-EEG Signals via Convolutional Neural Networks. Presented at 2018 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC2018), Miyazaki, Japan

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a common signal acquisition approach employed for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research. Nevertheless, the majority of EEG acquisition devices rely on the cumbersome application of conductive gel (so-called wet-EEG)...

SMS Spam Filtering using Probabilistic Topic Modelling and Stacked Denoising Autoencoder (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al Moubayed, N., Breckon, T., Matthews, P., & McGough, A. (2016, August). SMS Spam Filtering using Probabilistic Topic Modelling and Stacked Denoising Autoencoder

In This paper we present a novel approach to spam filtering and demonstrate its applicability with respect to SMS messages. Our approach requires minimum features engineering and a small set of labelled data samples. Features are extracted using topi...
