Crises in Economic and Social History: A Comparative Perspective (2015)
Book
Brown, A., Burn, A., & Doherty, R. (Eds.). (2015). Crises in Economic and Social History: A Comparative Perspective. Boydell Press

This collection of essays brings together historians examining social and economic crises from the thirteenth century to the twenty-first. Crisis is an almost ubiquitous concept for historians, applicable across (amongst others) the histories of agri... Read More about Crises in Economic and Social History: A Comparative Perspective.

Custom and Commercialisation in English Rural Society, 1300-1800: Revisiting Postan and Tawney (2016)
Book
Brown, A., & Bowen, J. P. (Eds.). (2016). Custom and Commercialisation in English Rural Society, 1300-1800: Revisiting Postan and Tawney. University of Hertfordshire Press

English rural society underwent fundamental changes between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries with urbanisation, commercialisation and industrialisation producing new challenges and opportunities for inhabitants of rural communities. However, o... Read More about Custom and Commercialisation in English Rural Society, 1300-1800: Revisiting Postan and Tawney.

Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Research Challenges and Solutions (2014)
Book
van Herwegen, J., & Riby, D. (Eds.). (2014). Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Research Challenges and Solutions. Psychology Press

Interest in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders has grown exponentially in recent years across a range of disciplines, including psychology, psychiatry, education and neuroscience. The research itself has become more sophisticated, using multid... Read More about Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Research Challenges and Solutions.

Evaluating Gaussian Grasp Maps for Generative Grasping Models (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prew, W., Breckon, T., Bordewich, M., & Beierholm, U. (2022). Evaluating Gaussian Grasp Maps for Generative Grasping Models.

Generalising robotic grasping to previously unseen objects is a key task in general robotic manipulation. The current method for training many antipodal generative grasping models rely on a binary ground truth grasp map generated from the centre thir...

Bayesian Adaptive Selection Under Prior Ignorance (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Basu, T., Troffaes, M. C., & Einbeck, J. (2021). Bayesian Adaptive Selection Under Prior Ignorance. In M. Vasile, & D. Quagliarella (Eds.), . https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-80542-5_22

Bayesian variable selection is one of the popular topics in modern day statistics. It is an important tool for high dimensional statistics, where the number of model parameters is greater than the number of observations. Several Bayesian models have...

Agent-based Classroom Environment Simulation: the Effect of Disruptive Schoolchildren’s Behaviour versus Teacher Control over Neighbours (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alharbi, K., Cristea, A. I., Shi, L., Tymms, P., & Brown, C. (2021). Agent-based Classroom Environment Simulation: the Effect of Disruptive Schoolchildren’s Behaviour versus Teacher Control over Neighbours. In I. Roll, M. Danielle, S. Sergey, L. Rose, & D. Vania (Eds.), Artificial Intelligence in Education Lecture Notes in Computer Science (48-53). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-78270-2_8

Schoolchildren's academic progress is known to be affected by the classroom environment. It is important for teachers and administrators to under-stand their pupils' status and how various factors in the classroom may affect them, as it can help them...

Improving Robotic Grasping on Monocular Images Via Multi-Task Learning and Positional Loss (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prew, W., Breckon, T., Bordewich, M., & Beierholm, U. (2021). Improving Robotic Grasping on Monocular Images Via Multi-Task Learning and Positional Loss. . https://doi.org/10.1109/icpr48806.2021.9413197

In this paper we introduce two methods of improving real-time object grasping performance from monocular colour images in an end-to-end CNN architecture. The first is the addition of an auxiliary task during model training (multi-task learning). Our...
