Safe machine learning model release from Trusted Research Environments: The AI-SDC package

1 code implementation2 Dec 2022 Jim Smith, Richard J. Preen, Andrew McCarthy, Alba Crespi-Boixader, James Liley, Simon Rogers

We present AI-SDC, an integrated suite of open source Python tools to facilitate Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) of Machine Learning (ML) models trained on confidential data prior to public release.

ACRO: A multi-language toolkit for supporting Automated Checking of Research Outputs

1 code implementation6 Dec 2022 Richard J. Preen, Jim Smith

This paper discusses the development of an open source tool ACRO, (Automatic Checking of Research Outputs) to assist researchers and data governance teams by distinguishing between: research output that is safe to publish; output that requires further analysis; and output that cannot be published because it creates substantial risk of disclosing private data.

Sentence encoding for Dialogue Act classification

1 code implementation Natural Language Engineering 2021 Nathan Duran, Steve Battle, Jim Smith

In this study, we investigate the process of generating single-sentence representations for the purpose of Dialogue Act (DA) classification, including several aspects of text pre-processing and input representation which are often overlooked or underreported within the literature, for example, the number of words to keep in the vocabulary or input sequences.

Interactive Ant Colony Optimisation (iACO) for Early Lifecycle Software Design

no code implementations21 Dec 2012 Christopher L. Simons, Jim Smith, Paul White

Building on these findings, we propose a novel interactive ACO (iACO) approach to assist the designer in early lifecycle software design, in which the search is steered jointly by subjective designer evaluation as well as machine fitness functions relating the structural integrity and surrogate elegance of software designs.

Confidentiality and linked data
