Sffl: Self-Aware Fairness Federated Learning Framework for Heterogeneous Data Distributions (2024)
Working Paper
Zhang, J., Li, Y., Wu, D., Zhao, Y., & Palaiahnakote, S. Sffl: Self-Aware Fairness Federated Learning Framework for Heterogeneous Data Distributions

Recent years have witnessed increasing development towards federated learning. However, federated learning has been proven to show biased predictions against certain demographic groups, such as sex or race, especially under heterogeneous data distrib...

Baler -- Machine Learning Based Compression of Scientific Data (2024)
Working Paper
Bengtsson, F., Doglioni, C., Ekman, P., Gallen, A., Jawahar, P., Orucevic-Alagic, A., …Woodland, O. Baler -- Machine Learning Based Compression of Scientific Data

Storing and sharing increasingly large datasets is a challenge across scientific research and industry. In this paper, we document the development and applications of Baler - a Machine Learning based data compression tool for use across scientific di...

Compliant actuators that mimic biological muscle performance with applications in a highly biomimetic robotic arm (2023)
Working Paper
Yang, H., Wei, G., Ren, L., & Yan, L. Compliant actuators that mimic biological muscle performance with applications in a highly biomimetic robotic arm

This paper endeavours to bridge the existing gap in muscular actuator design for ligament-skeletal-inspired robots, thereby fostering the evolution of these robotic systems. We introduce two novel compliant actuators, namely the Internal Torsion Spri...

Citizen scientists’ motivation to participate in environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys: A case study on monitoring mammals in the UK (2023)
Working Paper
Broadhurst, H., Smith, E. E., Jackman, J. M., Singleton, N., Tansley, D., Raynor, R., …McDevitt, A. D. Citizen scientists’ motivation to participate in environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys: A case study on monitoring mammals in the UK

1. Citizen scientists have become integral participants in nature conservation projects, and the demand for effective conservation efforts has sparked increasing interest in utilizing environmental DNA (eDNA) for species monitoring, drawing citizen s...

Tldsmi: Genetic Algorithm Based Network for Text Localization in Distorted Social Media Images (2023)
Working Paper
Palaiahnakote, S., Pavan Kumar, C., Aggarwal, P., Sharma, S., Chandana, P., Basavanna, M., & Pal, U. Tldsmi: Genetic Algorithm Based Network for Text Localization in Distorted Social Media Images

This paper presents a novel model for understanding social image content through text localization. For text localization, we explore Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) for detecting components, that works by clustering pixels having similar pr...

Intergenerational effects from spatial and genetic environment predict early-life social network structure (2022)
Working Paper
R. Franks, V., Thorogood, R., & Brekke, P. Intergenerational effects from spatial and genetic environment predict early-life social network structure

Early independence is a crucial stage in the ontogeny of social environments, but it is often challenging to study in the wild. Genetics may structure groups if young animals associate with familiar kin, but association opportunities also develop as...

Managing technological transitions: prospects, places, publics and policy
Working Paper
Hodson, M., & Marvin, S. (2006). Managing technological transitions: prospects, places, publics and policy. Salford, UK

Transition management (TM) approaches have generated considerable interest in
academic and policy circles in recent years (Kemp and Loorbach, 2005; Rotmans and
Kemp, 2003). In terms of a loose definition, a ‘transition can be defined as a gradual,... Read More about Managing technological transitions: prospects, places, publics and policy.
