ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Mark He Huang – Modern AI systems often struggle in physical environments where observations are incomplete, noisy and constantly changing. This seminar presents a feedback-guided representation learning framework that helps AI systems revise what they know, maintain useful representations over time and generate physically plausible outcomes. The work spans machine unlearning, object-centric 3D visual memory and simulator-guided video generation, with the broader aim of enabling more reliable reasoning in the dynamic physical world.

This talk examines urban colour not as surface decoration, but as a structured system shaped by nature, culture, and urban development over time.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Filbert Cia – In this talk, we will explore the reality of how LLM is used in the software engineering industry and the relevance of CS fundamentals.

Grounded in extensive organisational practices, this session introduces a structured, human-centric, and skills-first approach to identify how functional tasks can be automated, augmented, or reorganised, and how jobs can be reconstructed into higher-value, future-ready roles.

This talk traces the historical development and contemporary transformations of the Buddhist community in Singapore. Beginning in the nineteenth century, it examines how waves of migration from China, South Asia, and Southeast Asia produced a diverse Buddhist landscape encompassing Theravāda, Mahāyāna, and Vajrayāna traditions in a colonial port city.
