Virtualisation is a powerful tool used for the isolation, partitioning, and sharing of physical computing resources. Employed heavily in data centres, becoming increasingly popular in industrial settings, and used by home-users for running alternative operating systems, hardware virtualisation has seen a lot of attention from hardware and software developers over the last ten?fifteen years. From … SRG Seminar: “Efficient Cross-architecture Hardware Virtualisation” by Tom Spink
CUHK + UniMelb = Fable-based Learning + A Tale of Two Cities Prof Jimmy Lee, Chinese University of Hong Kong This talk reports on the pedagogical innovation and experience of a joint venture by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the University of Melbourne (UniMelb) in the development of MOOCs on the computer … Fable-based Learning: Seminar by Prof Jimmy Lee
Professor Mateu Villaret, from Universitat de Girona is a visiting scholar with the AI group from July 1st until September 30th.

The speaker is Lars Kotthoff, previously a PhD student here, now and Assistant Professor at the University of Wyoming. All welcome. Often, there is more than one way to solve a problem. It could be a different parameter setting, a different piece of software, or an entirely different approach. Choosing the best way is … Seminar: AI-augmented algorithms — how I learned to stop worrying and love choice
Abstract In this talk, I will talk about the possibility of using Bayesian nonparametric clustering, or Dirichlet Process Mixture model to solve human activity recognition problem. In particular, I will discuss how the technique can be useful when the activity labels are not annotated and/or the activity evolves over the time. This initial study is … SRG Seminar: “Application of Bayesian Nonparametric in household human activity recognition” by Lei Fang
Abstract Data processing paradigms are undergoing a paradigm shift as we move more and more towards real time processing. Emerging software models such as the SMACK stack are at the forefront of this change, focused on a pipeline processing model, but are also introducing new levels of operational complexity in running multiple complex distributed systems … SRG Seminar: “Introduction to Apache Mesos and the DataCenter Operating System” by Matt Jarvis
We have explored data coordination techniques that permit distributed systems to be constructed by interconnecting services. In such systems the network latency is often a problem. For example, large data volumes might have to be transmitted across the network if computation cannot be co-located close to data sources. One solution to this problem is the … SRG Seminar: “On Engineering Unikernels” by Ward Jaradat
