ISTD COIL Seminar by Qian Liu – This talk will present some key techniques in modern LLM pre-training, including scaling laws, data quality engineering, data mixture optimization, and efficient training strategies. We will use Sailor, a family of open language models (0.5B to 14B parameters) tailored for South-East Asian languages, as a case study.

ESD Research Seminar by Alessandro Luongo – This talk will explore new quantum algorithms and the challenges they face in real-world applications of quantum computing.

LKY CIC Brown Bag Lunchtime Talk – Cities around the world are increasingly facing the challenges posed by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, exacerbated by rising global temperatures due to climate change. The impacts of UHI go beyond mere discomfort, carrying significant health and economic consequences for urban populations. This talk will present findings from Project HeatSafe, a collaborative, multidisciplinary research

LKY CIC Brownbag Lunchtime Talk – The talk will examine the interdependence of Universities and Cities in driving successful urban transformation and futures for Australia and Singapore using exemplars around the world. These case studies provide the framework for exploring the magic mix that continues to drive their success and will be combined with exemplars drawn from the

In seeking to broaden and deepen the social compact between the government and its citizenry, the Forward Singapore exercise marked a new phase in the nation’s journey towards participatory governance — from engagement and consultation to co-creation. This conference aims to advance the understanding and practice of citizen participation, civic engagement and collaborative governance.

EPD Distinguished Lecture Series & Innovation Forum in partnership with The James Dyson Foundation – Join us to explore how innovation, technology, and engineering are shaping our future.

ESD Research Seminar by Ling Chun Kai – One challenge in multiagent environments is the presence of teams — groups of agents acting in a coordinated fashion that distinguish themselves from individuals. This talk touches on two situations where teams are prevalent.

ESD Research Seminar by Warut Suksompong – Fair resource allocation is a fundamental problem in society, with applications ranging from inheritance division to ministry allocation. While the fair division literature typically assumes that all agents have the same entitlement to the resource, several practical applications involve agents with varying entitlements represented by weights.

He was honored with the “Winner of RSC Excellent Student Award” by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) this September. This award recognizes his academic excellence in leveraging computational chemistry to facilitate interdisciplinary research and his contribution to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect (DEIR) within the scientific community.

Collective intelligence is created when people collaborate, often with the aid of technology, to gather and utilise diverse information, ideas and perspectives to tackle complex social challenges. In this learning journey, participants will explore such innovative methodologies from two real-life examples.
