Events
Dialogues with Leaders: Networking with Experts in Human-Centred Design
Dialogues with Leaders by Eason Yang – Join this lecture where Eason will share on his work and creativity as a force for change.
LKYCIC Seminar Series: “Revealing the Power of Connections in Cities: Urban Graphs for Scalable, Data-Driven Planning and Design”
Cities are under growing pressure to become more sustainable and equitable as they face rapid urbanisation and climate change. While advances in urban sensing and volunteered geographic information are opening new doors for data-driven planning, most models remain fragmented and struggle to make sense of large-scale, diverse urban data.
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.
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.
LKYCIC Seminar Series: “Well-being for All: A Holistic Framework for Tropical Cities”
Singapore’s tropical equatorial context has enabled unique urban design approaches. This guest lecture invites everyone to understand how well-being in our city can be planned and designed for.
Detecting concurrent bugs in Go via capture and replay
ISTD Seminar by Martin Sulzmann – Prof Martin will survey the state of the art in the area of controlled concurrency (CCT) testing for Go to explore schedules that reveal panic and blocking bugs, and discuss several new novel aspects such as the ability to perform controlled replay of programs to guarantee that new schedules are actually explored in this seminar.
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.
Beyond scale: efficient pre-training and controllable post-training for language models
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Zeng Guangtao – Language models are foundational to modern artificial intelligence, but their development is often constrained by challenges in efficiency, controllability, and reasoning. In this thesis, we aim to address these limitations by introducing advanced paradigms at both the pre-training and post-training stages.
