Constructing a crowdsourced linked open knowledge base of Chinese history (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Sturgeon, D. (2021). Constructing a crowdsourced linked open knowledge base of Chinese history. . https://doi.org/10.23919/pnc53575.2021.9672294

This paper introduces a crowdsourced approach to knowledge base construction for historical data based upon annotation of historical source materials. Building on an existing digital library of premodern Chinese texts and adapting techniques from oth... Read More about Constructing a crowdsourced linked open knowledge base of Chinese history.

Evidence for Teaching Practices that Broaden Participation for Women in Computing (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Morrison, B. B., Quinn, B. A., Bradley, S., Buffardi, K., Harrington, B., Hu, H. H., …Waite, J. (2021). Evidence for Teaching Practices that Broaden Participation for Women in Computing. In ITiCSE-WGR '21: Proceedings of the 2021 Working Group Reports on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (57-131). https://doi.org/10.1145/3502870.3506568

Computing has, for many years, been one of the least demographically diverse STEM fields, particularly in terms of women's participation [12, 36]. The last decade has seen a proliferation of research exploring new teaching techniques and their effect...

“Just Drive”: Colour Bias Mitigation for Semantic Segmentation in the Context of Urban Driving (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Stelling, J., & Atapour-Abarghouei, A. (2021). “Just Drive”: Colour Bias Mitigation for Semantic Segmentation in the Context of Urban Driving. . https://doi.org/10.1109/bigdata52589.2021.9672033

Biases can filter into AI technology without our knowledge. Oftentimes, seminal deep learning networks champion increased accuracy above all else. In this paper, we attempt to alleviate biases encountered by semantic segmentation models in urban driv...

Transforming Fake News: Robust Generalisable News Classification Using Transformers (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Blackledge, C., & Atapour-Abarghouei, A. (2021). Transforming Fake News: Robust Generalisable News Classification Using Transformers. . https://doi.org/10.1109/bigdata52589.2021.9671970

As online news has become increasingly popular and fake news increasingly prevalent, the ability to audit the veracity of online news content has become more important than ever. Such a task represents a binary classification challenge, for which tra... Read More about Transforming Fake News: Robust Generalisable News Classification Using Transformers.

Identification of Driver Phone Usage Violations via State-of-the-Art Object Detection with Tracking (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Carrell, S., & Atapour-Abarghouei, A. (2021). Identification of Driver Phone Usage Violations via State-of-the-Art Object Detection with Tracking. . https://doi.org/10.1109/bigdata52589.2021.9671378

The use of mobiles phones when driving has been a major factor when it comes to road traffic incidents and the process of capturing such violations can be a laborious task. Advancements in both modern object detection frameworks and high-performance... Read More about Identification of Driver Phone Usage Violations via State-of-the-Art Object Detection with Tracking.

Rank over Class: The Untapped Potential of Ranking in Natural Language Processing (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Text classification has long been a staple within Natural Language Processing (NLP) with applications spanning across diverse areas such as sentiment analysis, recommender systems and spam detection. With such a powerful solution, it is often temptin... Read More about Rank over Class: The Untapped Potential of Ranking in Natural Language Processing.

Robust 3D U-Net Segmentation of Macular Holes (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Frawley, J., Willcocks, C. G., Habib, M., Geenen, C., Steel, D. H., & Obara, B. (2021). Robust 3D U-Net Segmentation of Macular Holes. In A. Pakrashi, E. Rushe, M. H. Z. Bazargani, & B. Mac Namee (Eds.),

Macular holes are a common eye condition which result in visual impairment. We look at the application of deep convolutional neural networks to the problem of macular hole segmentation. We use the 3D U-Net architecture as a basis and experiment with... Read More about Robust 3D U-Net Segmentation of Macular Holes.
