ESD Research Seminar by Marek Gluza – Dr Marek Gluza will explore what is likely to make up the disruption caused by quantum computing, how it will come about and when (or actually whether) it will happen.

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

HASS Talk: Nature–Nurture Through the Lens of Cross-Generational Cultural Transmission by Dr. Ryutaro Uchiyama

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Liu Xiaogang’s graduate student in winning the best oral presentation award

HASS Colloquium by Ryan Holroyd – This presentation will map the structure of Chinese maritime trade in Southeast Asia from about 1570, during the Ming dynasty. It will then compare this structure to the Chinese shipping network that was re-established after the Qing dynasty’s conquest of Taiwan and the legalisation of private maritime trade in 1684.

ESD Research Seminar by Antonio Frangioni – Professor Antonio Frangioni will summarise some of the main lines of his research in this seminar, emphasising how he is primarily driven by the desire of solving real-world, difficult optimisation problems.

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.

ESD Research Seminar by Xi Ning – This talk will study a class of the semiparametric Cox-Aalen transformation models for regression analysis.

ESD Research Seminar by Xingran Chen – In this seminar, we investigate an adversarial threat termed the “Pac-Man” attack, in which a malicious node probabilistically terminates any random walk (RW) that visits it.
