The DesignAdvisor: An intelligent knitwear design aid
Alliance Textiles in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Otago developed a computer based knitwear design program that enables a member of the public to easily and quickly design a ... -
Dynamical properties of gene regulatory networks involved in long-term potentiation
The significant increase in the availability of postgenomic data has stimulated the growth of hypothesis-generating strategies to unravel the molecular basis of nature. The application of systems theory to biological ... -
EEG-based Anxious Personality Prediction
As prevalent mental illnesses, anxiety disorders affect people's daily life seriously and influent our society profoundly. However, the current symptom-based diagnostic method cannot distinguish specific biological causes ... -
Efficient Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks Analysis and Design
Today's wired and wireless networks have enabled interconnections among a wide range of computing devices including smart phones and tablets laptops. However traditional network techniques e.g. TCP IP fail to ... -
Evaluation of a Deep Reinforcement Learning Method For Query Reformulation
Recent research suggests that a query reformulation system based on deep reinforcement learning has been effective at improving search performance, claiming superior performance to “traditional” techniques such as BM25. ... -
Explorations in Timbre
Timbre is the quality of sound that enables us to recognise different instruments. The most successful methods for automatic instrument recognition are performed using information from sound that does not mean anything to ... -
Exploring geometrical structures in high-dimensional computer vision data
In computer vision, objects such as local features, images and video sequences are often represented as high dimensional data points, although it is commonly believed that there are low dimensional geometrical structures ... -
Functional network analysis of aging and Alzheimer's Disease
The human brain is an incredibly complex system, consisting of billions of neurons, interacting over trillions of synaptic connections. These interactions give us consciousness and intelligence, control our core functions, ... -
High-Performance and Wavelength-Reused Optical Network on Chip (ONoC) Architectures and Communication Schemes for Manycore Processor
Optical Network on Chip (ONoC) is an emerging chip-scale optical interconnection technology to realize the high-performance and power-efficient inter-core communication for many-core processors. By utilizing the silicon ... -
Human Face Detection with Support Vector Machines
The computer vision problem of face detection has over the years become a common high-requirements benchmark for machine learning methods. In the last decade, highly efficient face detection systems have been developed ... -
Improved Indexing & Search Throughput
Information retrieval is the process of finding relevant information in large corpora of documents based on user queries. Within the discipline there are a number of open research questions and areas. This thesis presents ... -
Improving Query Term Expansion With Machine Learning
Vocabulary mismatch is an impediment to responding to user queries with relevant results. Stemmers solve this problem by conflating terms with similar spellings. In this thesis we use machine learning to create a stemmer ... -
Improving the Quality of Experience of Over-the-top Video Delivery
The demand for over-the-top (OTT) video delivery (also known as video delivery over the Internet) is increasing rapidly. According to the statistics gathered by Cisco, IP video traffic will be 82% of all global IP traffic ... -
Interaction of STDP and metaplasticity in modelling heterosynaptic plasticity.
Although neuroscientists have still not found a comprehensive mechanism to underlie learning and memory, many investigations suggest that long term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD) are involved in establishment ... -
Interactive visualisation tools for analysing NIR data
This paper describes a tool being developed to allow users to visualise the ripening characteristics of fruit. These characteristics, such as sugar, acid and moisture content, can be measured using non-destructive Near ... -
Learning Gene Interactions and Networks from Perturbation Screens and Expression Data
We investigate a variety of methods to first discover and then understand genetic interactions. Beginning with pairwise interactions, we propose a method for inferring pairwise gene interactions en masse from short- ... -
Learning Hierarchical Sparse Filters for Feature Matching
A common problem in computer vision is to match corresponding points between images. The success of computer vision has usually relied on having good feature representations, which are usually hand-crafted and thus require ... -
Localisation and tracking of stationary users for extended reality
In this thesis, we investigate the topics of localisation and tracking in the context of Extended Reality. In many on-site or outdoor Augmented Reality (AR) applications, users are standing or sitting in one place and ... -
Modelling and Simulation of GeneRegulatory Networks: Segmentation genes of Honeybee (Apis mellifera) embryos
The developmental process involves interactions between thousands and thousands genes. The reasons why, where, and when the genes are expressed can be revealed in the topology of a Gene Regulatory Network (GRN). In this ... -
Modelling type-denoting concepts and words in a simulation of vocabulary development.
Luc Steels proposes a mechanism by which a community of agents is able to negotiate a common vocabulary for referring to objects in their environment, using two simple games. In a ‘discrimination game’, an agent equipped ...
