Topology and congestion invariant in global internet-scale networks
(2010)
Infrastructures like telecommunication systems, power transmission
grids and the Internet are complex networks that are vulnerable to
catastrophic failure. A common mechanism behind this kind of failure
is avalanche-like ...
Automatic chord transcription from audio using computational models of musical context
(2010)
This thesis is concerned with the automatic transcription of chords from audio, with an emphasis
on modern popular music. Musical context such as the key and the structural segmentation aid
the interpretation of chords ...
An intelligent radio access network selection and optimisation system in heterogeneous communication environments
(2010)
The overlapping of the different wireless network technologies creates heterogeneous communication environments. Future mobile communication system considers the technological and operational services of heterogeneous ...
Strategies for image visualisation and browsing
(2010)
The exploration of large information spaces has remained a challenging task even
though the proliferation of database management systems and the state-of-the art
retrieval algorithms is becoming pervasive. Signi cant ...
Multi modal multi-semantic image retrieval
(2010)
The rapid growth in the volume of visual information, e.g. image, and video can
overwhelm users’ ability to find and access the specific visual information of interest
to them. In recent years, ontology knowledge-based ...
Simplifying large-scale communication networks with weights and cycles
(2010)
A communication network is a complex network designed to transfer information from a
source to a destination. One of the most important property in a communication network is
the existence of alternative routes between ...
Modelling Incremental Self-Repair Processing in Dialogue.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-11)
Self-repairs, where speakers repeat themselves, reformulate or restart what they are saying, are
pervasive in human dialogue. These phenomena provide a window into real-time human language
processing. For explanatory ...
Resilient and Efficient Delivery over Message Oriented Middleware.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-09)
The publish/subscribe paradigm is used to support a many-to-many model that allows an efficient dissemination of messages across a distributed system. Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) is a middleware that provides an ...
The Effect of Audio Cues and Sound Source Stimuli on Looming Perception.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-01)
Objects that move in depth (looming) are ubiquitous in the real and virtual worlds. How
humans interact and respond to these approaching objects may affect their continued
survival in both the real and virtual words, and ...
Selectivity and Adaptation in the Human Auditory System.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-03)
Two fundamental principles dominate the signal processing of
the auditory system: selectivity and adaptation. The response of
the auditory system is selective for various acoustic features and
the representation of these ...
