  • Wang, Yong; Witten, Ian H. (1999)
    This paper articulates a new method of linear regression, “pace regression”, that addresses many drawbacks of standard regression reported in the literature-particularly the subset selection problem. Pace regression improves ...
  • Cunningham, Sally Jo; Downie, J. Stephen; Bainbridge, David (2005)
    The paper presents a grounded theory analysis of 395 user responses to the survey question, "What is the worst song ever?" Important factors uncovered include: lyric quality, the "earworm" effect, voice quality, the influence ...
  • Litvinenko, Yuri E. (The American Astronomical Society, 2012)
    In this paper, the problem of focused particle transport is revisited. A description in terms of a system of stochastic differential equations, completely equivalent to the Fokker-Planck equation, is suggested. The coefficient ...
  • Thompson, John; Bainbridge, David; Roüast, Maxime (Springer, 2012)
    Nowhere are the 'growing pains' of Very Large-scale Digital Libraries more pronounced than in collections containing multimedia data. Not only do such collections contain large numbers of items, but they also push the ...
  • Hinze, Annika; Voisard, Agnès (IEEE Computer Society, 2002)
    Event notification services are used in various applications such as digital libraries, stock tickers, traffic control, or facility management. However, to our knowledge, a common semantics of events in event notification ...
  • Craig, Ian J.D. (Springer, 2010)
    This paper responds to points made by Low (Solar Phys. 2010. doi: 10.1007/s11207-010-9619-z ) with regard to the Parker problem as formulated in Craig and Sneyd (Solar Phys. 232, 41, 2005). We first point out that, since ...
  • Jackson, Marcel; Stokes, Tim E. (Taylor & Francis, 2009)
    The semigroup of all partial maps on a set under the operation of composition admits a number of operations relating to the domain and range of a partial map. Of particular interest are the operations R and L returning the ...
  • Mohajerani, Sahar; Malik, Robi; Fabian, Martin (University of Waikato, Department of Computer Science, 2013)
    This working paper describes a framework for compositional nonblocking verification of reactive systems modelled as extended finite-state machines. The nonblocking property can capture the absence of livelocks and deadlocks ...
  • Nichols, David M.; McKay, Dana; Twidale, Michael B. (2003)
    After software has been released the opportunities for users to influence development can often be limited. In this paper we review the research on post-deployment usability and make explicit its connections to open source ...
  • Craig, Ian J.D.; Litvinenko, Yuri E. (2002)
    Observations suggest that particle acceleration in solar flares occurs in the magnetic reconnection region above the flare loops. Theoretical models for particle acceleration by the reconnection electric field, however, ...
  • Alcock, Shane; Nelson, Richard (2011)
    Detailed passive analysis of TCP sender behaviour requires accurate identification of congestion events. Previous tools that attempt to provide such information do not incorporate the behaviour of recent operating systems ...
  • Hinze, Annika; Jung, Doris (2005)
    Patients with chronic conditions are not well supported by technical systems in managing their conditions. However, such systems could help patients to self-reliantly comply with their treatment. This help could be rendered ...
  • Zhang, Edmond Yiwen; Mayo, Michael (2008)
    This paper presents a new approach for the object categorization problem. Our model is based on the successful `bag of words' approach. However, unlike the original model, image features (keypoints) are not seen as independent ...
  • Witten, Ian H.; Bainbridge, David (2011, 2011)
    In this extended abstract we detail how the open source digital library toolkit Greenstone [5] can help users of the XOlaptop— produced by the One Laptop Per Child Foundation— manage and share electronic documents. The ...
  • Pearson, Murray W.; Lyons, Paul J.; Apperley, Mark (University of Waikato, Department of Computer Science, 1995)
    We present an approach to the design of complex logic ICs, developed from four premises. First, the responsibilities of a chip's major components, and the communication between them, should be separated from the detailed ...
  • Jones, Matt; Marsden, Gary (University of Waikato, Department of Computer Science, 2004)
    Previous work by Draper and Brown investigated the use of specialized handsets in increate interactivity in lecture settings. Inspired by their encouraging findings we have been exploring the use of conventional mobile ...
  • Bainbridge, David; Jones, Steve; McIntosh, Samuel John; Jones, Matt; Witten, Ian H. (ACM, 2008)
    This paper describes the facilities we built to run a self-contained digital library on an iPod. The digital library software used was the open source package Greenstone, and the paper highlights the technical problems ...
  • Mutter, Stefan; Pfahringer, Bernhard; Holmes, Geoffrey (Springer, 2009)
    Profile Hidden Markov Models (PHMMs) have been widely used as models for Multiple Sequence Alignments. By their nature, they are generative one-class classifiers trained only on sequences belonging to the target class they ...
  • Phillips, Paul M.; Phadnis, Joideep; Willoughby, Richard; Hunt, Lynette Anne (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc, 2013)
    Background: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a condition with potentially severe complications. Controversy remains as to when to undertake prophylactic pinning. We aimed to assess the utility of the posterior sloping ...
  • Monigatti, Paul; Apperley, Mark; Rogers, Bill (ACM, 2010)
    The paper describes a pilot system for the detailed management of domestic electricity consumption aimed at minimizing demand peaks and consumer cost. Management decisions are made both interactively by consumers themselves, ...
