Events

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.

ESD Research Seminar by Aras Selvi – This work demonstrates that mixed-feature problems can indeed be solved in polynomial time.

ESD Research Seminar by Urban Larsson – Combinatorial Game Theory is the branch of Mathematics and Computer Science that studies two-player games with perfect and complete information; there is no chance, and there are no hidden moves.

ESD Research Seminar by Yuanwei Liu – The design dilemma of “What will be different between near-field communications (NFC) and far-field communications (FFC)?” is discussed from four perspectives in this talk.

ESD Research Seminar by Howard H. Yang – This talk aims to present the current research efforts on the development of implementing distributed machine learning algorithms in wireless systems.

ESD Research Seminar by Wang Hai – This talk will briefly discuss several research cases on the applications of data-driven methods in smart cities, include: (1) Descriptive methods for mobile transaction digits distribution and crowd-sourcing food delivery; (2) Predictive methods for ICU patient evaluation; (3). Prescriptive method for multi-objective matching in ride-sourcing.

ESD Research Seminar by Hanwei Li – In this study, we partner with Meituan, a leading shopping platform, to develop a real-time, end-to-end coupon allocation system that aims to maximise customer conversion rate (CVR) while adhering to marketing budgets, addressing challenges of uncertain traffic from a diverse customer base and the need for real-time decision-making.

ESD Research Seminar by Rasoul Etesami – Data placement is one of the fundamental allocation problems in storage-capable distributed systems, such as web caches and peer-to-peer networks. Motivated by such applications, we consider the non-metric data placement problem and develop distributed algorithms for computing or approximating its optimal solutions.

ESD Research Seminar by Caroline Chaux – In this talk, we will be interested in inverse problems arising in the signal and image processing field. Solving such problems imply in a fist time to formalise the direct problem by understanding the physics behind and in a second time, to solve the associated inverse problem, through a variational formulation, that is, solving an optimisation problem.
