Improved Bayesian Approach for Face Recognition (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jiang, X.-D., Mandal, B., & Kot, A. (2005, December). Improved Bayesian Approach for Face Recognition. Presented at International Conference on Information, Communications and Signal Processing, Bangkok, Thailand

In subspace face recognition, PCA, LDA and Bayesian are the most commonly used methods. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages in recognizing human faces. Their recognition rates depend much on the methodologies used in selecting/tra... Read More about Improved Bayesian Approach for Face Recognition.

An investigation of software engineering curricula (2005)
Journal Article
(2005). An investigation of software engineering curricula. Journal of Systems and Software, 325 - 335. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2004.03.016

We adapted a survey instrument developed by Timothy Lethbridge to assess the extent to which the education delivered by four UK universities matches the requirements of the software industry. We propose a survey methodology that we believe addresses... Read More about An investigation of software engineering curricula.

A virtual creatures model for studies in artificial evolution (2005)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2005). A virtual creatures model for studies in artificial evolution. In 2005 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, vols 1-3, proceedings (565 -572)

We present the results of our replication of Karl Sims' work on the evolution of artificial creatures in a physically realistic 3D environment. We used standard McCulloch-Pitts neurons instead of a more complex set of ad hoc neurons, which we believe... Read More about A virtual creatures model for studies in artificial evolution.

Time series analysis of homoclinic nonlinear systems using a wavelet transform method (2004)
Journal Article
Austin, J. C., & Healey, J. J. (2004). Time series analysis of homoclinic nonlinear systems using a wavelet transform method. Fluid Dynamics Research, 34(6), Article 401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fluiddyn.2004.03.002

Homoclinic (and heteroclinic) trajectories are closed paths in phase space that connect one or more saddle points. They play an important role in the study of dynamical systems and are associated with the creation/destruction of limit cycles as a par...

Mathematical Theory of Recursive Symbol Systems. Technical Report GEN-0401. (2004)
Book
(2004). Mathematical Theory of Recursive Symbol Systems. Technical Report GEN-0401

This paper introduces a new type of graph grammar for representing recursively structured two-dimensional geometric patterns, for the purposes of syntactic pattern recognition. The grammars are noise-tolerant, in the sense that they can accommodate p... Read More about Mathematical Theory of Recursive Symbol Systems. Technical Report GEN-0401..

An agent based co-operative preference model (2003)
Thesis
Jayousi, R. An agent based co-operative preference model. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/1020265

Distributed problem solving is often characterised by multiple valid solutions, a solution being considered to be valid if it meets all the constraints. When there are multiple valid solutions, the user has a choice, which can be specified in terms o... Read More about An agent based co-operative preference model.

Broad spectrum element-specific X-ray imaging (2003)
Journal Article
Austin, J., Pitt, K., Haycock, P., Heywood, B., George, S., & Liddle, J. (2004). Broad spectrum element-specific X-ray imaging. NDT and E International, 37(3), 229-236. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ndteint.2003.09.012

In this article element-specific mapping using a broad-spectrum laboratory based X-ray source is reported. Element-specific and element-exempt images of silver nitrate and di-hydrated barium chloride have been obtained from raw images collected eithe...

X-ray images of defect formation in porcelain ceramics during drying (2003)
Journal Article
Potter, A., Austin, J., Ormerod, R., Haycock, P., Heywood, B., & George, S. (2003). X-ray images of defect formation in porcelain ceramics during drying. NDT and E International, 36(2), 77-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0963-8695%2802%2900088-9

The drying phase during the manufacture of ceramic pieces is often the point of failure owing to the formation of cracks. In this study, non-destructive microfocus X-ray imaging has been employed to study the onset of cracking in porcelain and correl...

Improving and still passing the ALife test: Component-normalised activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded (2003)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2003). Improving and still passing the ALife test: Component-normalised activity statistics classify evolution in Geb as unbounded. In Artificial Life VIII: proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Artificial Life (173 -181)

Bedau, Snyder & Packard’s (1998) classification system for long-term evolutionary dynamics provides a test for openended evolution. Making this ALife test more rigorous, and passing it, are two of the most important open problems in the field. Previo...
