Enhancing the Search Experience on Complex Search Scenarios

Group: Information Retrieval (IR)
Speaker: Jorge Gabin, University of A Coruña
Date: 29 April, 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:00
Location: Room 422, SAWB

Title:
Enhancing the Search Experience on Complex Search Scenarios

Abstract:
Search experience (SX) is fundamental to succeed in complex search tasks. However, achieving a great SX in advanced search engines is extremely difficult. The reason behind this is that, on the one hand, the types of users, tasks and information needs are disparate, and, on the other hand, the nature of the information in these search engines and the search possibilities are diverse and complex. In this talk, I will describe our two first works towards enhancing the search experience in complex search scenarios. First, I will present docT5keywords, a keyword generation model based on text-to-text transfer transformers (T5). This model generates descriptive keywords directly from academic documents, offering a fresh perspective on keyword labelling. We compare its performance with the EmbedRank model and manual keyword assignments by authors, highlighting its ability to produce unseen labels and its suitability for exploratory search tasks. Then, regarding our second work, we will introduce two models for the keyword suggestion task trained on scientific literature. These models adapt the architecture of Word2Vec and FastText to generate keyword embeddings, leveraging keyword co-occurrence patterns in academic publications. Alongside these models, we will present a specially tailored negative sampling approach that enhances keyword suggestion accuracy. Our evaluation methodology includes ranking-based assessments in both known-item and ad-hoc search scenarios, demonstrating significant improvements over existing word and sentence embedding models.

Bio:
I am a third-year PhD candidate at the Information Retrieval Lab, University of A Coruña, concurrently engaged as a researcher at Linknovate. My primary focus is enhancing search and user experience within complex search scenarios. Specifically, my research involves developing models to aid users in query formulation and refining ranking algorithms with keyphrase search scenarios. Before diving into research, I also worked as a software engineer at a multinational textile company.

Using AI-Enhanced Social Robots to Improve Children's Healthcare Experiences

Group: Computing Technologies for Healthcare
Speaker: Dr Mary-Ellen Foster, GIST, Glasgow University
Date: 30 April, 2024
Time: 11:00 - 12:00
Location: SAWB 423, Sir Alwyn Williams Building

I will describe an ongoing project where we are developing a social robot, based on the Nao platform, to be deployed in two children’s emergency departments to help patients cope with medical procedures that may be painful and distressing. Intravenous Insertion (IVI) was identified as an appropriate procedure: this is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the context of children seeking medical care, and also one that can be painful and distressing for the child and for their parents or caregivers. A social robot was found to be effective in this context; however, the behaviour of that robot was fully scripted, significantly limiting its ability to respond to the child’s state during the course of the procedure. To address the limitations of previous studies, our robot system is designed to use AI planning techniques to allow it to adapt flexibly during an interaction.

In this talk, I will begin by describing how we have engaged with stakeholders throughout the project, including staff, patients, and caregivers at two large Canadian teaching hospitals. I will then present the robot system that we have developed based on those interviews, focus groups, and workshops. The robot system is currently undergoing user testing in the target hospitals, with the goal of a two-site Randomised Clinical Trial to be carried out before the end of 2024.

Informing, instructing, or ignoring: challenges and considerations for designing machine learning software for users in CNI.

Group: Systems Seminars
Speaker: Kelsey Collington

Title: Informing, instructing, or ignoring: challenges and considerations for designing machine learning software for users in CNI.
 
Abstract: Successful integration of machine learning based software to help protect, detect and respond to cyber incidents is one means of enhancing digital resilience. Introducing such software facilitates human-machine interaction through supporting higher levels of machine automation. Importantly, existing research highlights human-machine interaction needs to be tuned to the particular groups of people involved in the human-machine interaction.
 
This research focuses on CNI organisations that tend to be risk adverse and prioritise the safe running of physical processes. As a result, these CNI organisations approach cyber security from a different perspective to non-safety critical CNI organisation. This is a group of end users that is underrepresented within existing research into human-machine interaction, and therefore there is a lack of understanding as to the challenges and considerations of designing machine learning software for these end users. To address this research gap, I have been conducting semi-structured interviews with personnel from the nuclear industry. Interviewees have experience with industrial control systems and cyber security. In this talk I will be discussing some of the preliminary findings of these interviews. I will then discuss how this research builds upon a related body of existing research and lays the foundation for future research directions.

RIPEn at Home Surveying Internal Domain Names using RIPE Atlas

Group: Systems Seminars
Speaker: Elizabeth Boswell
Date: 30 April, 2024
Time: 14:30 - 15:00
Location: Room 422, SAWB

Title: RIPEn at Home Surveying Internal Domain Names using RIPE Atlas

Abstract: 

Internal domain names are domain names that are only valid in a local network. For example, many home networks use an internal name, such as "gateway.home", to refer to the home gateway/home router. Queries for these names are resolved by the home gateway and should not be sent to the global DNS. 
 
A name collision occurs if an internal name also exists in the global DNS, a query for the internal name is accidentally sent to the global DNS, and the response differs from the local response. This can happen, for example, if queries are accidentally sent to a public resolver. Name collisions can lead to security issues, as the global DNS domain name can be used to spoof the local device.
 
While previous studies of name collisions used passive measurement data, we use active measurements on RIPE Atlas to survey the use of internal names in home networks. We discover 3092 names, used by 4305 RIPE Atlas probes, of which 2.13% are at acute risk of name collision, and 34.51% are at risk of collision if their top-level domain is delegated.

Curriculum, Enrolment and Inclusion

Group: Centre for Computing Science Education (CCSE)
Speaker: Steven Bradley, Durham University
Date: 02 May, 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:00
Location: Hybrid: 422 (Seminar Room), Sir Alwyn Williams Building and CCSE Zoom Room

DESCRIPTION:

At ITiCSE 2023, working group 6 (WG6) explored women's elective choices by analysing elective curriculum documents from nine institutions and seeing how they related to enrolment numbers by women and men. Comparing the popularity of elective modules allowed us to identify how much topic areas affect enrolment, as opposed to non-topic factors such as the lecturer, timetable etc. I will summarise the approach and results we got and talk about work currently in progress on exploring the topics covered by a wide range of UK HE institutions. Because of the number of courses involved, human expert classification of topic areas is infeasible, so we are planning to use topic modelling to identify patterns of provision, and to relate them to what we know learnt from WG6 women's elective choices.
