Near-optimal data-driven control for assemble-to-order systems
ESD Research Seminar by Lun Yu – The literature on periodic-review assemble-to-order (ATO) systems has long assumed that the demand distribution is exactly known. In practice, this may not be true and only a limited sample of historical demand data is available. In this paper, we study data-driven ATO systems under the criteria of long-run average cost


Semiconductor fab system level time-constraint control with uncertainty informed machine learning
ESD Research Seminar by Marvin Carl May – Semiconductor manufacturing systems, fabs, are the most complex manufacturing systems. They provide an ideal environment for the conception of intelligent production control algorithms. A major complexity driver are time-constraints, that limit the maximum time between two processes.


Futures by Design: Human-Centred AI and Transformative Possibilities – International Foresight Conference 2025
Step to the forefront of the Design·AI revolution. Join us as we bring together global visionaries and changemakers to explore how we can harness AI to serve humanity, reflect diverse cultures, and support collective flourishing in both Asia and beyond.


Towards trustworthy and explainable AI for multimodal hate content moderation
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Hee Ming Shan – The proliferation of hateful multimodal content, particularly in the form of hateful memes, poses significant threats to online safety and social cohesion. Although deep learning systems, especially vision-language models, are essential to automated multimodal content moderation, they operate as black boxes, offering limited explainability into their decision-making processes.


Design, AI, Tech & Innovation
EPD Distinguished Lecture Series & Innovation Forum in partnership with The James Dyson Foundation – Join us to explore how the cutting-edge advancements in technology, design and AI are shaping our future. The forum will feature a keynote by Dyson followed by a panel discussion with industry experts from AMD and ST Engineering.


AI foresight pre-conference session
AI Ethics Reading Group – This reading group session is organised in conjunction with the AI Foresight Conference on Oct 3rd (Fri).


Software-hardware co-design for energy-efficient neural network accelerators
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Tomomasa Yamasaki – This dissertation proposes an integrated research framework that spans algorithm-level network evaluation, hardware-aware optimisation, and cycle-accurate performance simulation.


Explaining graph-based misinformation detection models
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Chin Wai Kit Daniel – Social media and social networking platforms have greatly connected people worldwide and democratised information creation and propagation by facilitating seamless and almost instantaneous information sharing between people and communities.


Supporting automated vehicles from a distance: the human factor
ESD Research Seminar by Andreas Schrank – This talk will present Andreas’ approach of designing and evaluating human-machine interfaces for the remote operation of highly automated vehicles from a Human Factors perspective.


Leveraging out of distribution testing to build robust machine learning systems
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Sai Sathiesh Rajan – This dissertation serves to remind us of the importance of thoroughly testing machine learning models before deploying them as they can cause societal, economical and reputational damage.
