Congratulations to Saddam who successfully passed his PhD VIVA on 23rd May 2016.
Examiners have commended Saddam’s work and contributions. They also emphasized how well written the thesis is.
A well-deserved achievement Saddam, well done.
And all the best for your future career.
Another successful end of year annual Showcase event, organised by Amr Ahmed for the 4th year.
At the University of Lincoln, School of Computer Science. (6th and 7th May): Annual Showcase Event for the School of Computer Science,
Several companies attended the event, including Google UK, Siemens, QinetiQ, mass, Artsgraphica, Heritage Lincolnshire, to name a few.
They were impressed by the level and quality of the presented work, as well as how students presented and engaged with questions.
Also, DCAPI group participated in the event and Saddam won a prize: http://dcapi.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2015/05/13/pgrs-showcase-event-2015/

The aim of this project is to investigate how computer vision methods such as object and
action recognition may be assisted by computational linguistic models, such as WordNet.
The main challenge of object and action recognition is the scalability of methods from
dealing with a dozen of categories (e.g. PASCAL VOC) to thousands of concepts (e.g.
ImageNet ILSVRC). This project is expected to contribute to the application of automated
visual content annotation and more widely to bridging the semantic gap between
computational approaches of vision and language.
Deadline: 20th March 2015.
A PhD studentship is advertised at
“Object and Action Recognition Assisted by Computational Linguistics”
The research is collaboration between University of Kingston (Digital Imaging Research Centre) and University of Lincoln (DCAPI group)

Amr organised the Annual Showcase Event for the School of Computer Science, University of Lincoln. (14th and 15th May). This year, the event also featured the Postgraduates by Research (PGRs) presenting their research work and demonstrating some interactive demos.
Members of DCAPI group have presented and showed their research work in the Annual Showcase Event for the School of Computer Science, University of Lincoln. (14th and 15th May). Saddam also won the “Best Demo” prize for his video matching & retrieval interactive demo.
