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, November). Enhancing new user cold-start based on decision trees active learning by using past warm-users predictions. Presented at 33ème conférence sur la Gestion de Données — Principes, Technologies et Applications, Nancy, France

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 well performed. This issue is commonly encountered in techniq... Read More about Enhancing new user cold-start based on decision trees active learning by using past warm-users predictions.

The application of wireless sensor networks and wearable technologies for educational purposes: A scoping review (2017)

Creating a complete workflow for digitising historical census documents : considerations and evaluation (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Clausner, C., Hayes, J., Antonacopoulos, A., & Pletschacher, S. (2017). Creating a complete workflow for digitising historical census documents : considerations and evaluation. . https://doi.org/10.1145/3151509.3151525

The 1961 Census of England and Wales was the first UK census to make use of computers. However, only bound volumes and microfilm copies of printouts remain, locking a wealth of information in a form that is practically unusable for research. In this...

Building integrated agriculture information modelling (BIAIM) : an integrated approach towards urban agriculture (2017)
Journal Article
Khan, R., Aziz, Z., & Ahmed, V. (2018). Building integrated agriculture information modelling (BIAIM) : an integrated approach towards urban agriculture. Sustainable Cities and Society, 37(Feb 18), 594-607. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2017.10.027

Urbanisation is transforming human societies in many ways. Besides bringing benefits to people in cities, it also has negative impacts such as food security. One way to meet the challenge is urban agriculture; however, traditional agricultural practi...
