Journal Article
Cooney, C. R., Sheard, C., Clark, A. D., Healy, S. D., Liker, A., Street, S. E., Troisi, C. A., Thomas, G. H., Székely, T., Hemmings, N., & Wright, A. E. (2020). Ecology and allometry predict the evolution of avian developmental durations. Nature Communications, 11(1), Article 2383. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16257-x

The duration of the developmental period represents a fundamental axis of life-history variation, yet broad insights regarding the drivers of this diversity are currently lacking. Here, we test mechanistic and ecological explanations for the evolutio... Read More about Ecology and allometry predict the evolution of avian developmental durations.

Beyond the topics: how deep learning can improve the discriminability of probabilistic topic modelling (2020)
Journal Article
Al Moubayed, N., McGough, S., & Awwad Shiekh Hasan, B. (2020). Beyond the topics: how deep learning can improve the discriminability of probabilistic topic modelling. PeerJ Computer Science, 6, Article e252. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.252

The article presents a discriminative approach to complement the unsupervised probabilistic nature of topic modelling. The framework transforms the probabilities of the topics per document into class-dependent deep learning models that extract highly...
