Typically this is demonstrated through excellent project work, and Aleks’ project on “A metapopulation model for predicting the … A highly commended project
The IVF-predict application has been designed based on years of academic research carried out by top medical and academic laureates. Using data from more than 144,000 IVF cycles a mathematical model has been developed that allows couples to have the most accurate prediction of their chance of a live birth with IVF. In conjunction with … IVF-predict: Predicting Personalised IVF Success
The School of Computer Science welcomes the opportunity to hear from Dr Babak Esfandiari from Carleton University, Canada who will be delivering his talk on ‘Toward Workflow Management for Experimental Science?’. Abstract: Data, code, and other digital scientific artifacts are often found (at least by this presenter) to be out-of-synch, unreliable, poorly organized and only … Toward Workflow Management for Experimental Science?

Computer Science was well represented at a workshop on the challenges of variability in data-driven research that was held earlier this week.
Abstract: Representing argument binding in compositional relational programs is an issue due to the syntactic problems. We first present our former research on using visualization to overcome this problem, and relevant user studies, and go on to discuss our recent work on syntactic improvements in solving the same problem. We are looking forward to feedback … Visualizing and writing variable-free compositional relational programs
