Contextualising sensors with linked data to improve relevancy, data quality and network adaptability
(2015-10-09)A sensor taken by itself, with no indication of what it is sensing, with what unit of measurement and where, would keep working without anybody being able to interpret its output. The sensor needs to be "contextualised". ... -
Distributed dataflow processing of large RDF graphs
(2017-05-29)As part of the big data world, RDF, the graph-based data model of the Semantic Web, is growing in use. Consequently, the size of available RDF data is increasing and massive datasets are becoming commonplace. Nevertheless, ... -
Enabling smart societies using social internet of things: A semantic framework for real-time virtual object management
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-04)A wide variety of unique smart services and applications are evolved based on Internet of Things (IoT) for resolving numerous issues in daily life, social community, agriculture, health sector, entertainment sector, city ... -
The evolution of behaviours in swarms of robots
(NUI Galway, 2019-12-09)Evolutionary swarm robotics uses evolutionary computational techniques to synthesise behaviours for a group of autonomous robots. In a swarm of robots, the collective behaviour of the robots results from the local interactions ... -
Expressive RDF stream reasoning via data parallelism in answer set programming
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-26)The Web nowadays is highly dynamic with massive amounts of data being continuously generated from a huge number of devices and services across the Internet. Various application scenarios in several domains, such as environment ... -
Methods for defining dynamic online communities and community detection in fast-paced social media streams
(NUI Galway, 2019-05-02)Microblogging social media focuses on fast open real-time communication using short messages between users and their followers. Twitter is currently one of the largest and widely known microblogging OSN in the world, with ... -
Modularity, variation and variability in genetic representation
(NUI Galway, 2017-12-05)Nature uses a complex genotype-phenotype map to advance a relatively simple genotype space variational topology to an extremely complex phenotypic variational topology. This dissertation introduces a modular, fixed ... -
Neural transfer learning for natural language processing
(NUI Galway, 2019-06-07)The current generation of neural network-based natural language processing models excels at learning from large amounts of labelled data. Given these capabilities, natural language processing is increasingly applied to new ... -
A new framework for adaptive and agile honeypots
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-13)As new technological concepts appear and evolve, cyberattack surfaces and vectors are exploited. Every Internet facing device or service is vulnerable from the untrusted external Internet. Previously standalone devices are ... -
An open framework for multi-source, cross-domain personalisation with semantic interest graphs
(2014-12-28)The work in this thesis addresses new challenges and opportunities for online personalisation posed by the emergence of new infrastructures for sharing user preferences and for access to open repositories of data. As a ... -
Probabilistic metadata generation for places based on user data
(2016-08-16)In recent years, there has been a wide adoption of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. This wide adoption is supported by numerous mobile and Web applications which help users to consume and generate data on ... -
Schema-agnostic queries for large-schema databases: A distributional semantics approach
(2015-05-01)The evolution of data environments towards the growth in the size, complexity, dynamicity and decentralisation (SCoDD) of schemas drastically impacts contemporary data management. The SCoDD trend emerges as a central data ... -
The use of ensemble techniques in multiclass speech emotion recognition to improve both accuracy and confidence in classifications
(2015-09-30)Creating machines with the ability to reason, perceive, learn and make decisions based on a human like intelligence has been an interest of artificial intelligence researchers for decades, with the long term goal of ...
