The intrinsic alignment (IA) of observed galaxy shapes with the underlying cosmic web is a source of contamination in weak lensing surveys. Sensitive methods to identify the IA signal will therefore need to be included in the upcoming weak lensing an...

A camera trap method for estimating target densities of grey squirrels to inform wildlife management applications (2023)
Journal Article
Beatham, S., Stephens, P., Coats, J., Phillips, J., & Massei, G. (2023). A camera trap method for estimating target densities of grey squirrels to inform wildlife management applications. Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 11, Article 1096321. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2023.1096321

Effective wildlife population management requires an understanding of the abundance of the target species. In the UK, the increase in numbers and range of the non-native invasive grey squirrel Sciurus carolinensis poses a substantial threat to the ex...

Drivers of the changing abundance of European birds at two spatial scales (2023)
Journal Article
Gregory, R., Eaton, M. A., Burfield, I., Grice, P. V., Howard, C., Klvaňová, A., Stephens, P., Willis, S., Woodward, I. D., & Burns, F. (2023). Drivers of the changing abundance of European birds at two spatial scales. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 378(1881), Article 20220198. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.0198

Detecting biodiversity change and identifying its causes is challenging because biodiversity is multifaceted and temporal data often contain bias. Here, we model temporal change in species' abundance and biomass by using extensive data describing the... Read More about Drivers of the changing abundance of European birds at two spatial scales.

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.

Remote monitoring of short-term body mass variation in savanna ungulates (2023)
Journal Article
Fuentes-Allende, N., Stephens, P., MacTavish, L., MacTavish, D., & Willis, S. (online). Remote monitoring of short-term body mass variation in savanna ungulates. Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 9(5), 707-723. https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.338

Large herbivores in seasonal environments often experience mass variation due to temporal changes in the availability of critical resources like water and forage, as well as due to breeding events. Yet the documentation of mass variation in mammals o... Read More about Remote monitoring of short-term body mass variation in savanna ungulates.

Improving Health Mention Classification Through Emphasising Literal Meanings: A Study Towards Diversity and Generalisation for Public Health Surveillance (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aduragba, T. O., Yu, J., Cristea, A. I., & Long, Y. (2023, April). Improving Health Mention Classification Through Emphasising Literal Meanings: A Study Towards Diversity and Generalisation for Public Health Surveillance. Presented at WWW '23: The ACM Web Conference 2023, Austin, Texas

People often use disease or symptom terms on social media and online forums in ways other than to describe their health. Thus the NLP health mention classification (HMC) task aims to identify posts where users are discussing health conditions literal...
