Beyond benchmarks: measuring and strengthening generalisable reasoning in large language models
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Hong Pengfei – This thesis addresses critical questions surrounding the evaluation and enhancement of reasoning robustness, generalisability, and comprehensiveness in modern language models, particularly under realistic conditions involving noise, ambiguity, domain shifts, and multimodal inputs.
Towards expressive, robust and generalisable multimodal learning
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Wei Han – This thesis, aims to provide practical solutions towards basic issues such as high computational costs of multimodal learning, and giving practical solutions to each of them.
Instruments of service: architecture’s value proposition in an era of disruption and opportunity
MArch Lecture Series by Elizabeth Christoforetti & Tiah Nan Chyuan – Join us for a lecture with guest panellist Marios Tsiliakos (Partner, Foster+Partners, London).

LKYCIC Seminar Series: “From entrepreneurial to managerial statecraft: New trends of urban governance transformation in post-pandemic China”
The global financial crisis started a new context of late capitalism and austerity urbanism. Instead of a unidirectional governance transformation towards entrepreneurialism, rising finance and financialization, pervasive state roles in state capitalism, and post-growth municipal radicalism are competing trends.
Multilevel diffusion-based domain adaptation: image, pixel, and category
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Duo Peng – In this paper, we investigate Diffusion-Based Domain Adaptation, leveraging emerging
diffusion models to address domain adaptation tasks. The motivation behind our research stems from the powerful distribution transformation capabilities of diffusion models, which we aim to harness to help AI models adapt to new data distributions.

Learning text styles: a study on transfer, attribution, and verification
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Hu Zhiqiang – This thesis advances the computational understanding and manipulation of text styles
through three interconnected pillars: (1) Text Style Transfer (TST); (2) Authorship Attribution (AA); and (3) Authorship Verification (AV), determining whether two texts share the same authorship.
