Events
Causal optimal transport for stochastic processes
ESD Research Seminar by Daniel Bartl – Prof Bartl will discuss causal transport theory and the adapted Wasserstein distance, which extend classical transport theory from probability measures to stochastic processes by incorporating the temporal flow of information.
The OT Security Platform
ISTD COIL Seminar by Jonathan Chin – Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) security safeguard devices, networks, and critical systems.
Dialogues with Leaders: Networking with Experts in Human-Centred Design
Dialogues with Leaders by Weihan Liew & Yeeling Chua – Weihan will be sharing on his entrepreneurial endeavours, and Yeeling will be sharing on her career as a UX designer-turned-entrepreneur.
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.
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.
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.
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.
