Steven Drost (CodeBase Chief Strategy Officer) and Jamie Coleman (CodeBase CoFounder and Chair) will talk about the topics that are rarely discussed in an academic environment around startups, product management, jobs to be done and disruption. Discussing aspects of UX, HCI, AI and systems development this is the stuff that they wish every computer scientist … War Stories: Building new tech products in an uncertain world
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
Title: A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures Abstract: The protocols that describe the interactions between IP Cores on System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architectures are well-documented. These protocols described not only the structural properties of the physical interfaces but also the behaviour of the emanating signals. However, there is a disconnect between the design of SoC architectures, their … A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures – Jan De Muijnck-Hughes
A project funded by the Undergraduate Research Assistant Scheme has successfully completed the first stage of interdisciplinary work, between the Institute of Mediaeval Studies and the School of Computer Science. The long-term aim is to digitise and analyse early French bibles. In this pilot project, undergraduate student Gregor Haywood, under the supervision of Prof. Clive Sneddon … Old French Bible Project
Diderot: A Parallel Domain-Specific Language for Image Analysis and Visualization Abstract: The analysis of structure in three-dimensional images is increasingly valuable for biomedical research and computational science. At the same time, the computational burden of processing images is increasing as devices produce images of higher resolution (e.g., typical CT scans have gone from 128^3 to … Diderot: A Parallel Domain-Specific Language for Image Analysis and Visualization – John Reppy
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

Alex Voss from the School of Computer Science and Anna Clements and Eva Borger from the University Library have been awarded funding by OCLC for a 1-year project titled “Characterizing the adoption of ORCID ID in academic communities”. ORCID iDs are persistent digital identifiers that distinguish researchers and, through integration in key research workflows such … Funding success for characterizing the adoption of ORCID ID in academic communities
SACHI Seminar – Large scale studies of habit changing interface design Speaker: Matjaž Kljun Abstract: Various technologies can be used in persuading people to change their habits, behaviours or attitudes. Such technologies are defined as persuasive and they are used in a variety of fields such as marketing, public health and education. We are daily exposed to … SACHI Seminar: Matjaž Kljun – Large scale studies of habit changing interface design
