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

SACHI Seminar: Professor Chris Reed – Argument Technology and Argument Mining

Title:  Argument Technology and Argument Mining Chris Reed, Centre for Argument Technology, University of Dundee – http://arg.tech Abstract:  Argument Technology is that part of the overlap between theories of argumentation and reasoning and those of AI where an engineering focus leads to applications and tools that are deployed. One significant step in the past decade has … SACHI Seminar: Professor Chris Reed – Argument Technology and Argument Mining

Seminar: A Changing Landscape: Securing The Internet Of Things (IoT)

Professor Sanjay Jha, Director of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Laboratory (Cyspri) at UNSW. The first part of this talk will discuss how the community is converging towards the IoT vision having worked in wireless sensor networking and Machine-2-Machine (M2M) communication. This will follow a general discussion of security challenges in IoT. Finally I will discuss … Seminar: A Changing Landscape: Securing The Internet Of Things (IoT)

School Seminar: “The path to Cellular IoT and the promise of 5G” by Frankie Garcia

The School of Computer Science welcomes Frankie Garcia from Keysight Technologies, Edinburgh.  Abstract: Over the last two decades we have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the number of Internet-connected devices via the Cloud (storage, compute and intelligent analytics) generally referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). This includes both machine-to-machine (M2M) and machine-to-person communications on a … School Seminar: “The path to Cellular IoT and the promise of 5G” by Frankie Garcia

Elise van den Hoven : Materialising Memories: a design research programme to study everyday remembering

Abstract Perhaps the term computer ‘memory’ has led people to believe that human memory has to be perfect and infallible. Many people worry when they realise they forget and some turn to recording and collecting as much as they can, e.g. photos or videos through life logging. Some people assume that by collecting they can … Elise van den Hoven : Materialising Memories: a design research programme to study everyday remembering
