SACHI Seminar – Dr Rebecca Fiebrink: Goldsmiths University of London
Title: Designing Real-time Interactions Using Machine Learning Abstract: Supervised learning algorithms can be understood not only as a set of techniques for building accurate models of data, but also as design tools that can enable rapid prototyping, iterative refinement, and embodied engagement— all activities that are crucial in the design of new musical instruments and … SACHI Seminar – Dr Rebecca Fiebrink: Goldsmiths University of London
SACHI Seminar: Trevor Hogan, Data and Dasein – A Phenomenology of Human-Data Relations
Title: Data and Dasein – A Phenomenology of Human-Data Relations. Abstract: In contemporary society, data representation is an important and essential part of many aspects of our daily lives. In this talk Trevor will present how his doctoral research has contributed to our understanding on how people experience data and what role representational modality plays … SACHI Seminar: Trevor Hogan, Data and Dasein – A Phenomenology of Human-Data Relations
Multi-modal Indoor Positioning: Trends and Challenges by Prof. Niki Trigoni, Oxford University
Abstract: GPS has enabled a number of location based services outdoors, but the problem of localisation remains open in GPS-denied environments, such as indoors and underground. In this talk, I will discuss the key challenges to accurate and robust position estimation, and will describe a variety of sensor modalities and algorithms developed at Oxford to … Multi-modal Indoor Positioning: Trends and Challenges by Prof. Niki Trigoni, Oxford University
Quicker Sort by Dietmar Kühl, Bloomberg L.P.
Abstract: Quicksort is a well-known sorting algorithm used to implement sort functionality in many libraries. The presentation isn’t really about the algorithm itself but rather about how to actually create an efficient implementation of the algorithm: a text-book implementation of the algorithm actually is not that quick (even if the pivot is chosen cleverly). … Quicker Sort by Dietmar Kühl, Bloomberg L.P.
Running Before We have Evolved Legs: The Gap Between Theory and Practice in Evolutionary Algorithms by Prof. John McCall
Abstract: Evolutionary algorithms (EA) has developed as an academic discipline since the 1960s. The subject has spawned major subfields such as swarm intelligence and genetic programming and is applied to a wide variety of practical real world problems in science medicine and engineering. EAs are often the only practical method of solving large combinatorial optimisation … Running Before We have Evolved Legs: The Gap Between Theory and Practice in Evolutionary Algorithms by Prof. John McCall
