Image classification by addition of spatial information based on histograms of orthogonal vectors
(PLOS ONE, 2018-06-08)
The Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) model is widely used for image classification, object recognition and image retrieval problems. In BoVW model, the local features are quantized and 2-D image space is represented in the form ...
Euroscepticism and Nationalist Populism
(Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, 2017)
In recent years Eurosceptic parties have gained significant ground in national and European Parliament elections in many EU countries. This trend is related to the effects of the
ongoing economic crisis, which has drastically ...
A Blockchain-Based Notarization Service for Biomedical Knowledge Retrieval
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-08)
Biomedical research and clinical decision depend increasingly on scientific evidence realized by a number of au-thoritative databases, mostly public and continually enriched via peer scientific contributions. Given the ...
Privacy-preserving computation of participatory noise maps in the cloud
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014-06)
This paper presents a privacy-preserving system for participatory sensing, which relies on cryptographic techniques and distributed computations in the cloud. Each individual user is represented by a personal software ...
User-Centric Privacy-Preserving Statistical Analysis of Ubiquitous Health Monitoring Data
(ComSIS Consortium, 2014)
In this paper, we propose a user-centric software architecture for managing Ubiquitous Health Monitoring Data (UHMD) generated from wearable sensors in a Ubiquitous Health Monitoring System (UHMS), and examine how these ...
A query scrambler for search privacy on the internet
(Springer Link, 2012-10-09)
We propose a method for search privacy on the Internet, focusing on enhancing plausible deniability against search engine query-logs. The method approximates the target search results, without submitting the intended query ...
An efficient privacy-preserving solution for finding the nearest doctor
(Personal and Ubiquitous Computing volume, 2012-10-30)
In this work, we define the Nearest Doctor Problem for finding the nearest doctor in case of an emergency and present a privacy-preserving protocol for solving it. The solution is based on cryptographic primitives and makes ...
A Privacy-by-Design Contextual Suggestion System for Tourism
(MDPI, 2016-05-05)
We focus on personal data generated by the sensors and through the everyday usage of smart devices and take advantage of these data to build a non-invasive contextual suggestion system for tourism. The system, which we ...
Integrated visualisation of wearable sensor data and risk models for individualised health monitoring and risk assessment to promote patient empowerment
(Springer Link, 2017-05)
Patient empowerment delivers health and social care services that enable people to gain more control of their healthcare needs. With the advancement of sensor technologies, it is increasingly possible to monitor people’s ...
Versatile Query Scrambling for Private Web Search
(Springer Link, 2015-05-16)
We consider the problem of privacy leaks suffered by Internet users when they perform web searches, and propose a framework to mitigate them. In brief, given a ‘sensitive’ search query, the objective of our work is to ...
