Estimation of asymmetry in physics
(IEEE, 1996)The notion of asymmetry arises in many physical experiments, being a natural expression of the relative difference between two quantities. In this paper, we discuss the estimation of asymmetries between the rates of two ... -
Reliability assessment from fatigue micro-crack data
(IEEE, 1997)Summary & Conclusions -Micro-cracks are generally defined to be cracks less than 1 nun in length, which propagate under cyclic stresses until they grow large and cause failure in an item (eg, component or structure). This ... -
Gender equality in the civil service - gender imbalance in the Irish civil service at higher executive officer level ( HEO ) and above
(Institute of Public Administration, 1999) -
Image segmentation using the double Markov random field, with application to land use estimation
(IEEE, 2001)We describe the double Markov random field, a natural hierarchical model for a Bayesian approach to model-based textured image segmentation. The model is difficult to implement, even using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) ... -
Women in science and technology employment
(Goodbody, 2001)Ireland continues to experience the fastest growth in GNP within the European Union, with average GNP increases of almost 8 per cent per annum over the period of the late 1990's. This has led to buoyancy in the Irish ... -
Double Markov random fields and Bayesian image segmentation
(IEEE, 2002)Markov random fields are used extensively in modelbased approaches to image segmentation and, under the Bayesian paradigm, are implemented through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. In this paper,we describe a ... -

Danger! men at work: a study of the underepresentation of women in third-level engineering
(Department of Education and Science, 2004) -
Decision-theoretic approaches to display strategies in content based image retrieval
(2004)In this report we continue development of a Bayesian CBIR system by considering the issue of an image display strategy. This is a decision problem and so within the Bayesian paradigm is to be solved by decision theory. ... -
Workshop on Machine Learning Techniques for Processing Multimedia Content
(2005)Machine Learning (ML) techniques are used in situations where data is available in electronic format and ML algorithms can ?add value? by analysing this data. This is the situation with the processing of multimedia ... -
A split Poisson process model for the occurrence of defects and change requests during user acceptance testing
(Trinity College Dublin, 2005)Software developed for a specific customer under contract typically undergoes a period of testing by the customer before acceptance. This is known as user acceptance testing and the process can reveal both defects in ... -
A Bayesian method for automatic landmark detection in segmented images
(2005)The identification of landmark points of a figure in an image plays an important role in many statistical shape analysis techniques. In certain contexts, manual landmark detection is an impractical task and an ... -
FPGA implementation of an Image Segmentation algorithm using logarithmic arithmetic
(IEEE, 2005)Image Segmentation is a process used in Computer Vision to automatically divide up an image. We investigate the suitability of FPGAs and Log Arithmetic for Image Processing. We implemented a Bayesian pixel-based ... -
Struggling with juggling: gender and work/life balance in the legal professions
(Elsevier, 2006)Since the 1960s, women have begun emerging into the public sphere and the public/private divide has been eroding. However, women's participation in the public sphere remains limited by the ongoing need to do two jobs (`the ... -
The use of Bayesian statistics to predict patterns of spatial repeatability
(Elsevier, 2006)Statistical spatial repeatability (SSR) is an extension to the well known concept of spatial repeatability. SSR states that the mean of many patterns of dynamic tyre force applied to a pavement surface is similar for a ... -
Facing extinction? Why men are not attracted to primary teaching

Improving CBIR by modelling the search process: a Bayesian approach
(2006)In this paper we look at a simple image retrieval with relevance feedback scenario where we model simple properties of the search process. A content-based image retrieval method based on Bayesian inference is proposed ... -
Model specification in hierarchical meta analysis

Nonparametric analysis of the order-statistic model in software reliability
(IEEE, 2007)In the literature on statistical inference in software reliability, the assumptions of parametric models and random sampling of bugs have been pervasive. We argue that both assumptions are problematic, the first because ...
