Beyond the prompt: Building the distributed infrastructure for trusted AI agents
ISTD COIL Seminar by Stevanus Satria – This talk explores how Consensus, Fault Tolerance, and Consistency are being reimagined through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build governed Al agents.
Sum of squares submodularity
ESD Research Seminar by Georgina Hall – This talk will demonstrate the usefulness of t-sos submodularity through three applications: (i) a new convex approach to submodular regression, involving minimal manual tuning; (ii) a systematic procedure to derive lower bounds on the submodularity ratio in approximate submodular maximisation, and (iii) improved difference-of-submodular decompositions for difference-of-submodular optimisation.
Cybersecurity today: Attacks are real! Will AI save the day?
ISTD COIL Seminar by Tan Jiaqi – This talk will explore how we can study cybersecurity incidents using publicly-available information to understand the technical details, and see how Cyber defenders can better protect their systems.
