Sign Language Recognition (SLR) is a field of Computational Linguistics that sits at the intersection of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing – aiming to effectively extract salient linguistic features from visual data of sign language users. Recent SLR research has centred Machine Learning approaches, however, these methods typically rely on large-scale datasets which are … Read more
This project is intended to build on, and further develop an Irish-language AAC system that Rían Errity developed last year. The goal is to develop a facility that allows the individual user to design their own personal boards and adapt the system to their own context and requirements.
Programming connected with an interactive platform for learning Irish under the ABAIR Project.

This project involves creating an app to anonymise (blur) large amounts of video footage of people wearing face masks. The obfuscation technique developed should have a minimal impact on the accuracy of vision recognition models. So, the anonymised data should keep markers to core reference points such as ears, eyes, nose etc. so that the … Read more
This project will look at how to assess LinkedIn profiles to identify whether the owner of the profile exhibits a set of employability skills such as reliability, common sense, commitment, motivation, enthusiasm, ability to deal with pressure, etc. The project will require an analysis of the LinkedIn features which could potentially allow users to exhibit … Read more
This project will investigate the use of AI to assess GitHub repositories to: identify the skills of the repository owner, assess their level and provide improvement recommendations in the setting of a group project. The evaluation with a group would be a core aspect of the project.
In many qualitative methodologies, there is a focus on collecting data in the field. These can include text, audio, images, video. This data is then analyzed for themes and meaning. This project envisages the use of a mobile application to collect (and tag) a range of fieldwork data types and then utilize AI to generate … Read more
This project is for the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. In this project, we’ll look at the various ways in which ecologists have attempted to answer the question ‘How many species are there?’. Some of these methods are statistical, and we’ll focus on those, but we’ll also take a look at some of the other … Read more
[MSc Level] We will collaborate with award-winning animation studio Cartoon Saloon to investigate perception of pose for stylized cartoon characters, such as those used in their films. Cartoon characters are often drawn to defy the laws of physics, and there is little known about perception of these characters – what makes a cartoon pose similar … Read more
