Perception of Bias: The Impact of User Characteristics, Website Design and Technical Features
(2017)Bias, whether real or perceived by the user, is inherent in news media. In this paper, we demonstrate that user characteristics, the design and common technical features of news websites impact users’ perception of bias. ... -
Women's Perspective on Using Tinder: A User Study of Gender Dynamics in a Mobile Device Application
(New York: ACM, 2017)Mobile applications expand possibilities for interaction and extend the boundaries of communication. Regarding online dating, Tinder is one of those applications that make it easier to connect people, and it brings out ... -
Gender Bias on Tinder: Transforming an Exploratory Qualitative Survey into Statistical Data for Contextualized Interpretation
(Springer Nature, 2017)Tinder is an online dating application that enables a human-human interaction. However, the ease of connection brings to light some concerns about possible harmful gender dynamics, which can enhance bias within technological ... -
A domain knowledge driven information uplift approach for network monitoring
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)With the advance of modern network technologies, people now enjoy increased convenience whilst occasionally suffering annoyance from network issues by lacking domain expertise. In the Home Area Network (HAN), these issues ... -
Group communication for cooperative automated vehicles
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The automotive industry has increasingly adopted computer technology to enhance the safety and efficiency of vehicles. Using sensors and electronic control systems, vehicles can become partially or fully automated, taking ... -
Temporally consistent region based video segmentation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis addresses the problem of segmenting a video sequence in a temporally consistent fashion, so that the labels assigned to particular region remain the same throughout the sequence. Energy minimisation, and in ... -
A case study of Action Design Research for privacy risk management engineering
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This dissertation presents a case study concerning the application of the Action Design Research (ADR) methodology to the development of a privacy-enhanced electronic postal system. As part of the ADR project, a model of ... -
Using trust for environment adaptive model-based energy saving algorithm for wireless sensor networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in environmental monitoring applications to obtain fine-grained spatial and temporal information concerning environmental phenomena. This requires continuous sensing and communication ... -
A slot-based approach to optimise freeway traffic using Intelligent Vehicles
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)Over the last decades, the increase in demand for road transportation has traditionally been matched by an expansion of the road network to prevent or reduce traffic congestion. This approach is unsustainable in the long ... -
Slicepedia open corpus slicing for Adaptive Web Systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)The growing demand for user experiences on the web addressing individual needs, is driving the mainstream adoption of personalisation technologies across broad fields of interests. Adaptive Web Systems (AWSs) have traditionally ... -
Detecting gender bias in the coverage of politicians in Irish newspapers using automated text classification
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)This thesis presents an investigation of whether there is evidence of gender bias in the coverage of politicians in Irish newspapers. Text-analysis techniques including natural language processing and machine learning are ... -
Measuring social capital in online communities
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)Online communities are a popular and useful means for people to meet, share information, and learn more about a topic of interest to them. However, communities risk disintegration if there are insufficient social connections ... -
Goal-Driven Service Composition in Mobile and Pervasive Computing
(2018)Mobile, pervasive computing environments respond to users’ requirements by providing access to and composition of various services over networked devices. In such an environment, service composition needs to satisfy a ... -

Open access wireless markets
(2016)This paper describes an open access market for capacity. Open access means that in real-time, network capacity cannot be withheld—capacity is priced dynamically by the marginal demand during congestion. The paper offers ... -
Hardware support for power and area efficient construction of high-quality bounding volume hierarchies
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2014)Rendering methods basal on ray-tracing hold the promise of great realism for interactive applications. However, these algorithms still involve a considerable computational cost relative to the capabilities of today�۪s ... -
Detection of Verbal Multi-Word Expressions via Conditional Random Fields with Syntactic Dependency Features and Semantic Re-Ranking
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2017)A description of a system for identifying Verbal Multi-Word Expressions (VMWEs) in running text is presented. The system mainly exploits universal syntactic dependency features through a Conditional Random Fields (CRF) ... -
