Improving CBIR by modelling the search process: a Bayesian approach
(2006)In this paper we look at a simple image retrieval with relevance feedback scenario where we model simple properties of the search process. A content-based image retrieval method based on Bayesian inference is proposed ... -
A fast Bayesian model for a latent radio signal
(2009)Abstract?This paper considers the use of a recently developed Bayesian statistical approximation technique that leads to very fast determination of highly accurate estimates for latent radio signal power. Following ... -
FPGA implementation of an Image Segmentation algorithm using logarithmic arithmetic
(IEEE, 2005)Image Segmentation is a process used in Computer Vision to automatically divide up an image. We investigate the suitability of FPGAs and Log Arithmetic for Image Processing. We implemented a Bayesian pixel-based ... -
Double Markov random fields and Bayesian image segmentation
(IEEE, 2002)Markov random fields are used extensively in modelbased approaches to image segmentation and, under the Bayesian paradigm, are implemented through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. In this paper,we describe a ... -
Reliability assessment from fatigue micro-crack data
(IEEE, 1997)Summary & Conclusions -Micro-cracks are generally defined to be cracks less than 1 nun in length, which propagate under cyclic stresses until they grow large and cause failure in an item (eg, component or structure). This ... -
Image segmentation using the double Markov random field, with application to land use estimation
(IEEE, 2001)We describe the double Markov random field, a natural hierarchical model for a Bayesian approach to model-based textured image segmentation. The model is difficult to implement, even using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) ... -
Estimation of asymmetry in physics
(IEEE, 1996)The notion of asymmetry arises in many physical experiments, being a natural expression of the relative difference between two quantities. In this paper, we discuss the estimation of asymmetries between the rates of two ... -
Parameter estimation for a model with both imperfect test and repair
(IEEE, 2007)We describe estimation of the parameters of a manufacturing test and repair model using data available from that test. The model allows imperfect testing and imperfect repair. The principal problem that we address is ... -
Nonparametric analysis of the order-statistic model in software reliability
(IEEE, 2007)In the literature on statistical inference in software reliability, the assumptions of parametric models and random sampling of bugs have been pervasive. We argue that both assumptions are problematic, the first because ... -
Fully Bayesian source separation with application to the cosmic microwave background
(IEEE, 2008)We address the problem of source separation in the presence of prior information. We develop a fully Bayesian source separation technique that assumes a very flexible model for the sources, namely the Gaussian mixture ... -
Gender equality in the civil service - gender imbalance in the Irish civil service at higher executive officer level ( HEO ) and above
(Institute of Public Administration, 1999) -
Statistical Hough Transform
(IEEE, 2009)The Standard Hough Transform is a popular method in image processing and is traditionally estimated using histograms. Densities modelled with histograms in high dimensional space and/or with few observations, can be very ... -
Danger! men at work: a study of the underepresentation of women in third-level engineering
(Department of Education and Science, 2004) -
Best practice models for the career advancement of women in academe
(Trinity College Dublin, 2002) -
Leadership for Business Excellence: The Gender Perspective
(SAI Global, 2008)The adoption of appropriate forms of leadership in response to modern organizational needs has become a major strand of management theory and underpins the pursuit of Total Quality/Business Excellence. With some notable ... -
Model specification in hierarchical meta analysis
(TCD, 2007) -
Women in science and technology employment
(Goodbody, 2001)Ireland continues to experience the fastest growth in GNP within the European Union, with average GNP increases of almost 8 per cent per annum over the period of the late 1990's. This has led to buoyancy in the Irish ... -
Negotiating Work/Life Balance : the Experience of Fathers and Mothers in Ireland
(UCL (Belgium), 2007)Working arrangements are still not sufficiently flexible to enable parents to manage to fulfil their roles as workers and as carers and there remains a dearth of flexible working arrangements and work-life balance policies ... -
Struggling with juggling: gender and work/life balance in the legal professions
(Elsevier, 2006)Since the 1960s, women have begun emerging into the public sphere and the public/private divide has been eroding. However, women's participation in the public sphere remains limited by the ongoing need to do two jobs (`the ...
