Personalising monitoring for chemotherapy patients through predicting deterioration in renal and hepatic function (2023)
Journal Article
Chambers, P., Watson, M., Bridgewater, J., Forster, M. D., Roylance, R., Burgoyne, R., Masento, S., Steventon, L., Harmsworth King, J., Duncan, N., & al Moubayed, N. (2023). Personalising monitoring for chemotherapy patients through predicting deterioration in renal and hepatic function. Cancer Medicine, 12(17), 17856-17865. https://doi.org/10.1002/cam4.6418

Background
In those receiving chemotherapy, renal and hepatic dysfunction can increase the risk of toxicity and should therefore be monitored. We aimed to develop a machine learning model to identify those patients that need closer monitoring, enabl...

Predicting acute clinical deterioration with interpretable machine learning to support emergency care decision making (2023)
Journal Article
Boulitsakis Logothetis, S., Green, D., Holland, M., & Al Moubayed, N. (2023). Predicting acute clinical deterioration with interpretable machine learning to support emergency care decision making. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 13563. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-40661-0

The emergency department (ED) is a fast-paced environment responsible for large volumes of patients with varied disease acuity. Operational pressures on EDs are increasing, which creates the imperative to efficiently identify patients at imminent ris...

Addressing Performance Inconsistency in Domain Generalization for Image Classification (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stirling, J., & Moubayed, N. A. (2023, June). Addressing Performance Inconsistency in Domain Generalization for Image Classification. Presented at 2023 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), Gold Coast, Australia

Domain Generalization (DG) in computer vision aims to replicate the human ability to generalize well under a shift of data distribution, or domain. In recent years, the field of domain generalization has seen a steady increase in average left-out tes...

Natural Language Explanations for Machine Learning Classification Decisions (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Burton, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Enshaei, A. (2023, June). Natural Language Explanations for Machine Learning Classification Decisions. Presented at 2023 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), Gold Coast, Australia

This paper addresses the challenge of providing understandable explanations for machine learning classification decisions. To do this, we introduce a dataset of expert-written textual explanations paired with numerical explanations, forming a data-to...

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.

Negation Invariant Representations of 3D Vectors for Deep Learning Models applied to Fault Geometry Mapping in 3D Seismic Reflection Data (2023)
Journal Article
Kluvanec, D., McCaffrey, K. J., Phillips, T. B., & Al Moubayed, N. (2023). Negation Invariant Representations of 3D Vectors for Deep Learning Models applied to Fault Geometry Mapping in 3D Seismic Reflection Data. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 61, https://doi.org/10.1109/tgrs.2023.3273329

We can represent the orientation of a plane in 3D by its normal vector. However, every plane has two normal vectors that are negatives of each other. We propose four novel representations of vectors in 3D that are negation invariant and can be used b...

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...

Using Model Explanations to Guide Deep Learning Models Towards Consistent Explanations for EHR Data (2022)
Journal Article
Watson, M., Awwad Shekh Hasan, B., & Al Moubayed, N. (2022). Using Model Explanations to Guide Deep Learning Models Towards Consistent Explanations for EHR Data. Scientific Reports, 12(19899), Article 19899. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-24356-6

It has been shown that identical Deep Learning (DL) architectures will produce distinct explanations when trained with different hyperparameters that are orthogonal to the task (e.g. random seed, training set order). In domains such as healthcare and... Read More about Using Model Explanations to Guide Deep Learning Models Towards Consistent Explanations for EHR Data.

Towards Graph Representation Learning Based Surgical Workflow Anticipation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, X., Al Moubayed, N., & Shum, H. P. (2022, September). Towards Graph Representation Learning Based Surgical Workflow Anticipation. Presented at 2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI), Ioannina, Greece

Surgical workflow anticipation can give predictions on what steps to conduct or what instruments to use next, which is an essential part of the computer-assisted intervention system for surgery, e.g. workflow reasoning in robotic surgery. However, cu... Read More about Towards Graph Representation Learning Based Surgical Workflow Anticipation.

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?.
