Nguyen Dang (University of St Andrews): Hyper-Parameter Tuning for an evolutionary algorithm

obk1 |

Abstract: In this talk, I will present a case study to illustrate how automated algorithm configuration can be used to gain insights into theoretical results on an evolutionary algorithm, namely the (1+(λ,λ)) Genetic Algorithm. This work is a collaboration with Carola Doerr. The (1+(λ,λ)) Genetic Algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm that has interesting theoretical properties. … Nguyen Dang (University of St Andrews): Hyper-Parameter Tuning for an evolutionary algorithm

Matt Blackledge (Institute of Cancer Research): Clinical Computational Imaging: Perspectives in Oncology

obk1 |

Abstract: There is an ever-increasing burden on imaging departments to deliver high-throughput assessment of medical images.  MRI in particular provides the advantage of full-body coverage and and a variety of quantitative imaging techniques, such as diffusion-weighted MRI, that can offer potent biomarkers for disease response and prognosis; with the advent of accelerated imaging techniques, many quantitative images can now be acquired … Matt Blackledge (Institute of Cancer Research): Clinical Computational Imaging: Perspectives in Oncology

School seminar: Interactions between Group Theory, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Quantum Computation – talk by Delaram Kahrobaei (York)

obk1 |

Abstract: In this talk, I explore how group theory playing a crucial role in cyber security and quantum computation. At the same time, how computer science for example machine learning algorithms and computational complexity could help group theorists to tackle their open problems, as such this could help with cryptanalysis of the proposed primitives. Symmetry … School seminar: Interactions between Group Theory, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Quantum Computation – talk by Delaram Kahrobaei (York)
