This article proposes a nove... Read More about Robust MPPT Control of Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems via Adaptive Self-Adjusting Fractional Order PID Controller.

Real-time social media sentiment analysis for rapid impact assessment of floods (2023)
Journal Article
Bryan-Smith, L., Godsall, J., George, F., Egode, K., Dethlefs, N., & Parsons, D. (2023). Real-time social media sentiment analysis for rapid impact assessment of floods. Computers & geosciences, 178, Article 105405. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2023.105405

Traditional approaches to flood modelling mostly rely on hydrodynamic physical simulations. While these simulations can be accurate, they are computationally expensive and prohibitively so when thinking about real-time prediction based on dynamic env...

Why the Educational Metaverse Is Not All About Virtual Reality Apps (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gordon, N., Brayshaw, M., Kambili-Mzembe, F., & Al Jaber, T. Why the Educational Metaverse Is Not All About Virtual Reality Apps. Presented at Learning and Collaboration Technologies : 10th International Conference, LCT 2023, Held as Part of the 25th HCI International Conference, HCII 2023, Copenhagan, Denmark

This paper explores how the Metaverse can be used in the context of learning and collaboration. In it we seek to dispel the story that the Metaverse is just another synonym for Virtual Reality and future technology. Instead we will argue that the Met...

Learning Fair Representations through Uniformly Distributed Sensitive Attributes (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kenfack, P., Rivera, A., Khan, A., & Mazzara, M. (2023, February). Learning Fair Representations through Uniformly Distributed Sensitive Attributes. Presented at 2023 IEEE Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning (SaTML), Raleigh, NC, USA

Machine Learning (ML) models trained on biased data can reproduce and even amplify these biases. Since such models are deployed to make decisions that can affect people's lives, ensuring their fairness is critical. One approach to mitigate possi...

Teaching students using Design-First Test-Driven Development (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dixon, J., Brayshaw, M., Gordon, N., Grey, S., Parker, D., & Tompsett, B. (2022, June). Teaching students using Design-First Test-Driven Development. Presented at INSPIRE XXVII: E-Learning for Sustainabilty and Education Beyond Pandemic, Online

This paper explores a test-driven approach to teaching within Higher Education. Test-driven here is derived from the Software Engineering approach, where the test cases for software are defined prior to the software being fully developed. The emphasi...
