Identifying an appropriate pedagogy for virtual worlds: A Communal Constructivism case study
(2010)As increasing numbers of educators explore the use of virtual worlds for education, there is a need to consider which pedagogical approaches can provide an opportunity to do more than recreate the traditional classroom by ... -
Identifying Common User Behaviour in Multilingual Search Logs
(2010)The LADS (Log Analysis for Digital Societies) task at CLEF aims at investigating user actions in a multilingual setting. We carried out an analysis of search logs with the objectives of investigating how users from ... -
Identifying requirements and features for communications systems between older people in care settings
(IEEE, 2010)Care settings for older people, such as nursing homes, can have low levels of social interaction, which has been shown in many studies as being crucial to both the mental and physical well-being of older adults. ... -
Identifying Topic Shift and Topic Shading in Switchboard
(2018)This paper highlights some of the ongoing work on the ADELE project, namely the identification and annotation of topic shift and topic shading in the Switchboard-1 Release-2 corpus. The purpose of this is to train an ... -
An Identity Privacy Preserving Incentivization Scheme for Participatory Sensing
(2018)Participatory sensing is a paradigm through which mobile device users (or participants) collect and share data about their environments. The data captured by participants is typically submitted to an intermediary (the ... -
IEEE Internet Computing, Special Issue on Roaming
(IEEE, 2007)We live in a truly connected society, at least in the Western world. The challenge now, therefore, isn't to provide connectivity but to retain it as users roam, potentially between unfamiliar and heterogeneous environments. -
Image Decomposition using Geometric Region Colour Unmixing
(2020)In this paper, we propose a new geometric approach for image decomposition which aims to combine the advantages of two state of the art techniques. Given an input image, we first compute a palette of colours from the image ... -
IMHO: An Exploratory Study of Hedging in Web Forums
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2013)We explore hedging in web forum conversations, which is interestingly different to hedging in academic articles, the main focus of recent automatic approaches to hedge detection. One of our main results is that forum posts ... -
Immersive Imaging Technologies: From Capture to Display
(2020)New immersive imaging technologies enable creating multimedia systems that would increase the viewer presence and provide an immersive experience. This half-day tutorial aims to give an overview of these new immersive ... -
The impact of automatic video auditing with real-time feedback on the quality and quantity of handwash events in a hospital setting
(2020)Background: Poor quality handwashing contributes to the spread of nosocomial infections. We investigate the impact of automatic video auditing (AVA) with feedback on the quality and quantity of handwashing in a hospital ... -
The impact of body mass index on functional rehabilitation outcomes of working-age inpatients with stroke
(2021)Background: Stroke is the most relevant cause of acquired persistent disability in adulthood. The relationship between patient's weight during rehabilitation and stroke functional outcome is controversial, previous research ... -
The impact of gender-inclusive methods on design decision making
(Sette Citta, 2023)Many assumptions regarding gender biases in design have been raised in recent decades, such as that gender stereotypes can be ingrained in products and services (Akrich, 1992; van Oost, 2003) and that the gender imbalance ... -

The Impact of Structured Incentives on the Adoption of a Serious Game for Hand Hygiene Training in a Hospital Setting.
(IOS Press, 2016)Hand hygiene is recognized by the CDC as the most effective method of preventing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) which cost the US healthcare system $14 Billion. However, training and promotion of hand hygiene ... -
The Impact of Training Data Bias on Automatic Generation of Video Captions
(2019)A major issue in machine learning is availability of training data. While this historically referred to the availability of a sufficient volume of training data, recently this has shifted to the availability of sufficient ... -
Implementation of an AmI Communication Service using a Federated Event System Based on Aspects
(IEEE, 2006)Event-based communication can be considered naturally suited to support Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing applications due to its asynchronous nature and due to loose coupling between application components. Event ... -
Implementation of PI2 Queuing Discipline for Classic TCP Traffic in ns-3
(International Fedaration for Information Processing, 2017)This paper presents the implementation and validation of PI2 Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithm in ns-3. PI2 provides an alternate design and implementation to Propor- tional Integral controller Enhanced (PIE) algorithm ... -
Implementing an Intuitive Mutation Operator for Interactive Evolutionary 3D Design
(IEEE Press, 2010)Locality - how well neighbouring genotypes correspond to neighbouring phenotypes - has been described as a key element in Evolutionary Computation. Grammatical Evolution (GE) is a generative system as it uses grammar ...
