    • Generating photo-realistic training data to improve face recognition accuracy 

      Sáez-Trigueros, Daniel; Meng, Li; Hartnett, Margaret (2021-02-01)
      Face recognition has become a widely adopted biometric in forensics, security and law enforcement thanks to the high accuracy achieved by systems based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, to achieve good ...

    • How UK HE STEM Students Were Motivated to Switch Their Cameras on: A Study of the Development of Compassionate Communications in Task-focused Online Group Meetings 

      Jayasundara, J. M. P. V. K.; Gilbert, Theo; Kersten, Saskia; Meng, Li (2022-04-30)
      HE’s pandemic-driven shift to online platforms has increased social and learning disconnection amongst students. In online group work/teamwork, many are reluctant to switch on their cameras to be more present to others. ...
