Voxel Deformations
Volumetric data made up of voxels (volume elements) are common in medical imaging (e.g. CT Scans, MRI Scans), engineering and science. Most such data are static in nature, captured by imaging an object at rest in a specific position (e.g. a patient inside an MRI Tube). This project explores real-time techniques for deforming such datasets … Read more
[No Longer Available] My Face, Someone Else’s Voice: Vocal Identity in Virtual Humans
What happens when a virtual character moves like you and speaks when you speak, but the voice you hear is no longer your own? In this project, the student will create an interactive virtual mirror, where a participant sees a virtual human character responding to their movements and speech in real time. Emerging AI voice-conversion … Read more
Identifying Historical Events Through Song Lyrics (Taken)
Songs often reflect the social, political and cultural events of the time in which they are created. Artists may respond to wars, political events, social movements, economic crises, disasters and other significant events through their lyrics. This project will explore how Natural Language Processing (NLP), AI and data analysis can be used to identify references … Read more
Technology and the Impact of Short-Term Letting on Local Communities (Taken)
The growth of short-term letting platforms has changed how residential properties are used and may influence the social and commercial character of local neighbourhoods. Areas with high concentrations of short-term accommodation may experience changes in the types of businesses, services and amenities that operate locally, as well as changes in patterns of activity and community … Read more
Influencers, Social Media and Health Behaviour (Taken)
Social media influencers play an increasingly important role in shaping people’s perceptions and behaviours related to health, fitness, diet, wellbeing and lifestyle. Their posts may encourage particular health-related behaviours, while the motivations and commercial interests behind such content may not always be transparent. This project will explore how influencer content may affect people’s health-related attitudes … Read more
Adaptive Headphone Soundscapes (Taken)
Headphones increasingly provide users with access to ambient and environmental sound through features such as transparency modes, noise cancellation and sound enhancement. However, the most appropriate balance between external and headphone-generated sound may depend on what the user is doing, where they are, or their needs and state at a particular moment. This project will … Read more
Sensing (College) Soundscapes (Taken)
College spaces such as classrooms, libraries, study areas, cafés and social spaces have very different soundscapes. These acoustic environments may influence how students experience and use these spaces, including their concentration, comfort and perceived stress. This project will investigate how sensor technologies can be used to characterise the soundscapes of different college spaces and explore … Read more
Evaluating the adoption of mutation analysis in open source software
Mutation analysis is a strong testing criterion that uses artificial defects to assess the quality of tests with a rich academic history [1]. Several tools have been proposed to apply mutation analysis to different languages [2-4] but the technique is still not mainstream. Previous work has tried to evaluate the level of adoption of mutation … Read more
Improving existing REST API test generation methods
RESTful APIs are widely used to allow components of complex, distributed systems to communicate. Their prevalence means it is essential to test them and ensure that the APIs that the different components/systems expose are functional. Several tools exist to automatically generate tests for them [1] (RQs 8 and 9) [2] with different levels of success … Read more
