Track assignment adjustment problem in complex railway passenger stations (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Zhang, Y., An, M., & Wang, L. (2017, October). Track assignment adjustment problem in complex railway passenger stations. Presented at The 3rd International Conference on Electrical and Information Technologies for Rail Transportation (EITRT) 2017, Changsha, China

Track assignment plans are often adjusted for the purpose of safety and the minimum delay in real-time conditions, especially in busy complex railway passenger stations. First, taken trains as nodes, tracks as colors, a graph coloring model is design... Read More about Track assignment adjustment problem in complex railway passenger stations.

Automatic ROI detection and classification of the Achilles tendon ultrasound images (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Benrabha, J., & Meziane, F. (2017, October). Automatic ROI detection and classification of the Achilles tendon ultrasound images. Presented at International Conference on Internet of Things and Machine Learning (IML2017), Liverpool, United Kingdom

Ultrasound (US) imaging plays an important role in medical imaging technologies. It is widely used because of its ease of use and low cost compared to other imaging techniques. Specifically, ultrasound imaging is used in the detection of the Achil... Read More about Automatic ROI detection and classification of the Achilles tendon ultrasound images.

Consumers’ trust and popularity of negative posts in social media : a case study on the integration between B2C and C2C business models (2017)
Presentation / Conference
AlSheikh, S., Shaalan, S., & Meziane, F. (2017, October). Consumers’ trust and popularity of negative posts in social media : a case study on the integration between B2C and C2C business models. Presented at 4th International Conference on Behavioural, Economic, and Socio-Cultural Computing (BESC2017), Krakow, Poland

Trust can be defined as the vulnerability of trustor towards trustee to meet certain expectations. This paper extends the definition of trust to cover digital world and illustrate the trust model used by most of nowadays online stores. The social...

Anthony, R., Holliman, P., Furnell, L., Connell, A., Jones, E., & Kershaw, C. (2017, October). Development of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. Poster presented at Dyenamo DSSC Strikes Back, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden

A POS-based preordering approach for English-to-Arabic statistical machine translation (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Hadj Ameur, M., Guessoum, A., & Meziane, F. (2017, October). A POS-based preordering approach for English-to-Arabic statistical machine translation. Presented at International Conference on Arabic Language Processing (ICALP’17), Fez, Morocco

In this work, we present a POS-based preordering approach that tackles both long- and short-distance reordering phenomena. Syntactic unlexicalized reordering rules are automatically extracted from a parallel corpus using only word alignment and a so...

Railway network reliability analysis based on key station identification using complex network theory : a real-world case study of high-speed rail network (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Wang, L., An, M., Zhang, Y., & Rana, K. (2017, October). Railway network reliability analysis based on key station identification using complex network theory : a real-world case study of high-speed rail network. Presented at International Research Conference 2017 : Shaping Tomorrow's Built Environment, University of Salford, UK

The railway infrastructures have been rapidly developed around the world in the recent years. As a consequence, topology structures and operation modes of the railway network are greatly changed to very complicated network systems. Reliability anal...

Supporting massive M2M traffic in the Internet of Things using millimetre wave 5G network (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Falahy, N., & Alani, O. (2017, September). Supporting massive M2M traffic in the Internet of Things using millimetre wave 5G network. Presented at 9th Computer Science & Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC), University of Essex, UK

One of the challenges of Fifth Generation (5G) networks is how to support massive number of wireless devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT will interconnect billions of devices under machine-to-machine communication links (M2M). However, thi...

Enhancing new user cold-start based on decision trees active learning by using past warm-users predictions (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Pozo, M., Chiky,, R., Meziane, F., & Metais, E. (2017, September). Enhancing new user cold-start based on decision trees active learning by using past warm-users predictions. Presented at 9th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence, Nicosia, Cyprus

The cold-start is the situation in which the recommender system has no or not enough information about the (new) users/items, i.e. their ratings/feedback; hence, the recommendations are not accurate. Active learning techniques for recommender system... Read More about Enhancing new user cold-start based on decision trees active learning by using past warm-users predictions.

Case study on using the user-centric-backhaul scheme to unlock the realistic backhaul (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Jaber, M., Imran, M., Tukmanov, A., Sutton, A., & Tafazolli, R. (2017, September). Case study on using the user-centric-backhaul scheme to unlock the realistic backhaul. Presented at 2017 IEEE 86th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Fall), Toronto, Canada

The fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) is maturing fast and the target year 2020 is around the corner. However, the realistic backhaul network may not be ready for 5G arrival as it is likely to converge to 5G requirements at a slower pace than...
