Dr Ian Bayley, Senior Lecturer in Computing at Oxford Brookes won the BBC Mastermind 2011 title recently. Dr Bayley is no stranger to national Quiz titles having won BBC Radio 4's Brain of Britain competition in 2010.
Chair of judges, Professor John Bayley claimed that 'new fiction is at best ambitious and at worst pretentious'; the shortlist was compared to the sleeping pill 'Mogadon'; the wife of Booker judge James Wood, Claire Messud, was included on the shortlist; the expletive heavy content of the winning novel; judge Rabbi Julia Neuberger's dislike of the winning novel.

Testing has been widely recognised as difficult for AI applications. This paper proposes a set of testing strategies for testing machine learning applications in the framework of the datamorphism testing methodology. In these strategies, testing aims at exploring the data space of a classification or clustering application to discover the boundaries between classes that the machine learning application defines. This enables the tester to understand precisely the behaviour and function of the software under test. In the paper, three variants of exploratory strategies are presented with the algorithms as implemented in the automated datamorphic testing tool Morphy. The correctness of these algorithms are formally proved. The paper also reports the results of some controlled experiments with Morphy that study the factors that affect the test effectiveness of the strategies.
