Research on medical imaging and video analysis
The “Nottingham Research Leaders Program” (NRLP) group met on Wednesday 18th September, in the Jubilee Campus, as part of the series of activities for the NRLP’19.
Dr AmrAhmed, a member of the NRLP’19 cohort, attended the event during his visit to the UK. The NRLP cohort includes colleagues from the 3 campuses, from various disciplines.
Three members of the Lincoln School of Computer Science, and the DCAPI group, have attended the Vision & Language (V&L) Network workshop, 13-14th Dec. 2012 in Sheffield, UK.
Amr Ahmed, Amjad Al-tadmri and Deema AbdalHafeth attended the event, where Amjad and Deema delivered 2 oral presentations and 2 posters about their research work:
| 1. VisualNet: Semantic Commonsense Knowledgebase for Visual Applications |
| 2. Investigating text analysis of user-generated contents for health related applications |
Abstracts are available on ( http://www.vlnet.org.uk/VLW12/VLW-2012-Accepted-Abstracts.html)
Congratulations for all involved.
The event included tutorial sessions (Vision for language people, and language for vision people). We had an increased presence this year.
Last year, we had a good presence in the last year’s workshop (http://amrahmed.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2011/09/19/vl-network-workshop-brighton/), had good discussions and useful feedback on the presented work.
Looking forward for similar, if not even better, experience this year.
Best wishes for the presentations.
We just had 2 posters and oral presentations accepted for the coming Vision & Language (V&L) Network workshop, 13-14th Dec. 2012 in Sheffield, UK. This is a good representation from Lincoln (and from the DCAPI group).

Students, Staff and Visitors gathered in Comp Lab ‘B’ in the School of Computer Science, where the posters and interactive demos were setup, and the session was officially opened by the Head of the School, Dr David Cobham. This demos session was the concluding session of the Showcasing week for the Undergraduate Projects work. Local companies, like Rockstar Games and Artgraphica, participated in the event and the judging panel. Posters have been in display around the lab and interactive demos included; Websites, Gesture-controlled Robots, Retinal Analysis, Map analysis for navigation, Healthy Eating through receipt analysis, and analysing Cheating in Games.
The “Best Poster” and the “Best Demo” (as well as their corresponding honorary positions) were announced at the end of the event, by the industrial panel. Congratulations for the Winners, but well done for everyone.
Companies’ representatives and visitors praised the event and commented that this is the way forward, and students need to get used to this kind of event, presenting their work more and more to potential employers. They are looking forward to an even bigger event next year.
It was my pleasure to organise the event, and especially when seeing students very pleased to participate and enjoying presenting and talking to all visitors (especially with the companies’ representatives).
Thank you for all involved in the organisation and setup, especially the Technical and Admin teams.
A special thank you to Tom Feltwell (LSoCS Technician) for his excellent support and dedication.
Well done everyone.
All the best Amr
Amr Ahmed attended the ECM (Executive Committee Meeting) of his SUS-IT project (http://sus-it.lboro.ac.uk/) at Loughborough, and participated in the 2 days workshop for the project. This is one of the very important meetings, especially towards the late stage of the project, with all workpackages represented.
Amr Ahmed has been invited for this iNET Transport event at the National Space Centre, as has been a partner in one of the iNET Transport projects. During the day, Amr presented a Poster, with support from Tony Daniel, about his iNET project; Mobility Scooter with navigation system (Demo video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGQm4GKfgN0 and list of Projects at http://amrahmed.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/projects/ )
Dr Amr Ahmed attended the Vision & Language Netowork Workshop in Brighton last Thursday 15th September, where 2 posters and oral presentation were presented from the DCAPI group.
Over 40 researchers, from vision and language areas, attended and it was a good opportunity for networking and exchange of contacts and ideas. Posters and sides will be available on the network’s website in the near future
Mr Amjad Altadmri also attended and presented in the event.
Some nice photos in Brighton,
with some Icereame! 🙂
Amr participated in the Write-UP workshop of the SUS-IT project consortium (which Amr is a partner in), on 17th and 18th May in Loughborough. Interesting to meet most of the partners, from all over the UK. Many discussions across the work-packages, especially with completion of the project (started in Jan 2009) expected ~mid next year.
