Hollan O. Haule: A collaborative learning approach to clinical event prediction using low-resolution physiological signals

In this talk, we will present a novel ML approach that predicts medical events through learned latent representations of multivariate physiological time series using Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM) and a measurement of similarity in the patients' events.

Inaugural Lecture of Professor Sotirios Tsaftaris, Chair in Machine Learning and Computer Vision

In this lecture, I will give a historical overview of representation learning, from principal component analysis to the state-of-the-art of representation learning empowering all modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Along this timeline, I will share some of my work on data representations for various societal applications, from restoring paintings of Matisse to enhancing medical imaging diagnosis.

Building fair and robust networks in the age of b^2 scale models

In a time where models with parameter counts in the billions that are trained on billions of samples (b^2) are becoming commonplace, many questions arise on how we should use these powerful models in downstream applications. In this talk, I will highlight three topics that are becoming increasingly important in this new age.

Inaugural Lecture of Professor David Ingram, Professor of CFD and Director of Diversity & Inclusion

In this lecture, Professor David Ingram will explore how CFD analysts work in partnership with large scale experimental test facilities and field measurements in offshore renewable energy, and ask the question “How green is your simulation?”

Inaugural Lecture of Professor Tom Bruce, Chair of Coastal and Maritime Hydromechanics

In this lecture, Tom will tell the story of waves breaking violently onto steep and vertical walls, old and new, the resulting forces, the wave overtopping, and what some of this means for safe design. In doing this, he will also have the honour to thank so very many inspirational colleagues – many now dear friends – who have played huge parts in this always-collaborative research.
