Anthropomorphic vs non-anthropomorphic software interface feedback for online factual delivery
Presentation / Conference
Murano, P. Anthropomorphic vs non-anthropomorphic software interface feedback for online factual delivery. Presented at Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, London, United Kingdom

We follow on from a group of internationally published papers in the area of investigating anthropomorphic user interface feedback. An experiment is described which aims to examine the effectiveness and user approval issues of anthropomorphic versus...

Tele-operated high speed anthropomorphic dextrous hands with object shape and texture identification
Presentation / Conference
Chua, P., Bezdicek, M., Davis, S., Caldwell, D., & Gray, J. Tele-operated high speed anthropomorphic dextrous hands with object shape and texture identification. Presented at 2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Beijing, China

This paper reports on the development of two number of robotic hands have been developed which focus on tele-operated high speed anthropomorphic dextrous robotic hands. The aim of developing these hands was to achieve a system that seamlessly interfa...

The lifecycle of a digital historical document: structure and content
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the lifecycle of a digital historical document, from template-based structure definition through to content extraction from the scanned pages and its final reconstitution as an electronic document (combining content and semantic...

Machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing
Presentation / Conference
Graetzer, S., Cox, T., Barker, J., Akeroyd, M., Culling, J., & Naylor, G. Machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing. Poster presented at Speech in Noise (SPiN) 2020, Toulouse, France

In this project, we will run a series of machine learning challenges to revolutionise speech processing for hearing devices. Over five years, there will be three paired challenges. Each pair will consist of a challenge focussed on hearing-device proc... Read More about Machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing.

In the Clarity project, we will run a series of machine learning challenges to revolutionise speech processing for hearing devices. Over five years, there will be three paired challenges. Each pair will consist of a competition focussed on hearing-de... Read More about Clarity : machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing.

Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, R., Franck, A., Cox, T., Shirley, B., & Fazi, F. Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems. Presented at 2018 AES International Conference on Spatial Reproduction - Aesthetics and Science, Tokyo, Japan

Panning laws for multi-loudspeaker setups, for example vector base amplitude panning, are typically derived based
on either low or high frequency assumptions. It is well known, however, that auditory cues for both localization and loudness differ at... Read More about Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems.

The room-in-room effect and its influence on perceived room size in spatial audio reproduction
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, R., Cox, T., Shirley, B., & Power, P. The room-in-room effect and its influence on perceived room size in spatial audio reproduction. Presented at 141st Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, Los Angeles, USA

In spatial audio it can be desirable to give the impression of a target space (e.g. a church). Often the reproduction environment is assumed acoustically dead; in practice most listening spaces (e.g. domestic living rooms) introduce significant refle...

R2SPIN : re-recording the Revised Speech Perception in Noise Test
Presentation / Conference
Ward, L., Robinson, C., Paradis, M., Tucker, K., & Shirley, B. R2SPIN : re-recording the Revised Speech Perception in Noise Test. Presented at 20th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association

Speech in noise tests are an important clinical and research toolfor understanding speech perception in realistic, adverse listen-ing conditions. Though relatively simple to implement, theirdevelopment is time and resource intensive. As a result,... Read More about R2SPIN : re-recording the Revised Speech Perception in Noise Test.
