Why the Educational Metaverse Is Not All About Virtual Reality Apps (2023)
Journal Article
Gordon, N., Brayshaw, M., Kambili-Mzembe, F., & Al Jaber, T. (2023). Why the Educational Metaverse Is Not All About Virtual Reality Apps. Lecture notes in computer science, 14041 LNCS, 22-32. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-34550-0_2

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...

Genetic Algorithms as a Feature Selection Tool in Heart Failure Disease (2020)
Journal Article
Alabed, A., Kambhampati, C., & Gordon, N. (in press). Genetic Algorithms as a Feature Selection Tool in Heart Failure Disease. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 1229 AISC, 531-543. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-52246-9_38

A great wealth of information is hidden in clinical datasets, which could be analyzed to support decision-making processes or to better diagnose patients. Feature selection is one of the data pre-processing that selects a set of input features by rem... Read More about Genetic Algorithms as a Feature Selection Tool in Heart Failure Disease.
