Friend Me Your Ears: A Musical Approach to Human-Robot Relationships.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-03-03)
A relationship is something that is necessarily built up over time, however,
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) trials are rarely extended beyond a single ses-
sion. These studies are insufficient for examining multi-interaction ...
Weakly Supervised Learning of Objects and Attributes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-05-05)
This thesis presents weakly supervised learning approaches to directly
exploit image-level tags (e.g. objects, attributes) for comprehensive
image understanding, including tasks such as object localisation, image
...
Creativity, Exploration and Control in Musical Parameter Spaces.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-05-09)
This thesis investigates the use of multidimensional control of synthesis parameters
in electronic music, and the impact of controller mapping techniques on creativity.
The theoretical contribution of this work, the EARS ...
Towards the Automatic Analysis of Metric Modulations
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-08-03)
The metrical structure is a fundamental aspect of music, yet its automatic analysis
from audio recordings remains one of the great challenges of Music Information Retrieval
(MIR) research. This thesis is concerned with ...
Performance evaluation for tracker-level fusion in video tracking
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-05-25)
Tracker-level fusion for video tracking combines outputs (state estimations) from multiple
trackers, to address the shortcomings of individual trackers. Furthermore, performance evaluation
of trackers at run time (online) ...
Compressive Sensing for Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Array Imaging
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-01-08)
Compressive Sensing (CS) is a recently proposed signal processing technique that has
already found many applications in microwave and millimeter-wave imaging. CS theory
guarantees that sparse or compressible signals can ...
Theory, Modelling and Implementation of Graphene Field-Effect Transistor
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-11-28)
Two-dimensional materials with atomic thickness have attracted a lot of attention from
researchers worldwide due to their excellent electronic and optical properties. As the
silicon technology is approaching its limit, ...
Investigating the design of Smart Objects in the domain of forgetfulness
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-06-01)
When we forget things, we feel anxious which can impact our day negatively. Some
individuals believe they are forgetful, so emphatically, it disrupts their day. There has been
little discussion about perceived forgetfulness ...
Spatio-temporal Representation and Analysis of Facial Expressions with Varying Intensities
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-11-17)
Facial expressions convey a wealth of information about our feelings, personality and mental
state. In this thesis we seek efficient ways of representing and analysing facial expressions of
varying intensities. Firstly, ...
Active and Reconfigurable Millimetre-Wave Antennas and Systems
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-06-05)
The millimetre-wave (mm-wave) spectrum offers considerable advantages in terms of antenna form factor and spectrum availability. However, use of this region often requires reconfigurable antennas and systems. Initially, a ...
