Dependency parsing has played a pivotal role in NLP over the last few decades, and non- projective, graph-based dependency parsers have become a dominant approach for this task in the 21st century. While much research has focused on advancing log-linear parameterisations and neural network development, there has been a paucity of research addressin...
The search for novel hardware beyond the traditional von Neumann architecture has given rise to a modern area of unconventional computing requiring the efforts of mathematicians, physicists and engineers. Many analogue physical systems, including networks of nonlinear oscillators, lasers, condensates, and superconducting qubits, are proposed and re...
The article is a snapshot and presents two doctoral students who finished their dissertations at the beginning of 2020: Dr Siwen Guo and Dr Tahereh Pazouki.
The human face is an attractive biometric identifier and face recognition has certainly improved a lot since its beginnings some three decades ago, but still its application in real world has achieved limited success.
