Cyber Security Playground

Museum of Science and Industry Liverpool Road, Manchester

Following on from positive feedback from last year’s Cyber Security Playground, the museum have given us the prime location in the main building on the busiest Saturday of half term with expected footfall between 1000 and 3000 people.

Distinguished Lecture | Speech Recognition: What’s Left?

Cambridge University Lecture Theatre 1, Department of Engineering, Trumpington Street, Cambridge

Recent speech recognition advances on the SWITCHBOARD corpus suggest that because of recent advances in Deep Learning, we now achieve Word Error Rates comparable to human listeners. Does this mean the speech recognition problem is solved and the community can move on to a different set of problems?

20th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning (IDEAL)

University of Manchester Manchester Meeting Place, Sackville Street, Manchester

The 20th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning (IDEAL) is an annual international conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analysis, data mining and their associated learning systems and paradigms.

Webinar | Recommender Systems: Using Fuzzy Fingerprints for “Proper” Recommendations

In this talk, we propose item and user-based Fuzzy Collaborative Filtering approaches that do not necessarily rely on rating prediction, instead leveraging on Fuzzy Fingerprints to create a novel similarity based recommendation approach. Fuzzy Fingerprints provide a concise and compact representation of users allowing the reduction of the dimensionality usually associated with user-based collaborative filtering.

Friday Lunch & Lecture: The Sticky Business of Surface Analysis

The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2 Savoy Place, London , United Kingdom

Structural adhesive bonding is used in many critical applications, but the performance of such joints relies on the integrity of the bond between adhesive and substrate. Such bonding involves layers only a few atoms thick and this talk will consider how surface analysis methods are able to provide us with analytical information which will lead to optimum performance in the most demanding of applications.

The UK Circuits and Systems (UKCAS) workshop provides ample opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking and explore joint collaborations between researchers and academic participants from UK and Ireland universities through lectures, poster presentation and discussions covering various areas in the supply chain of the emerging wearable technologies.

Webinar | Blockchain and New Consensus Algorithms for Wireless Networks

Webinar | Blockchain and New Consensus Algorithms for Wireless Networks by Dr Volkan Sevindik, Smallcellcoin Inc As an introduction to autonomous wireless networks, this webinar is designed to discuss the applications of blockchain in 5G wireless network operation.  From high number of smallcell deployments to increasing device heterogeneity, 5G networks require certain processes to [...]

Technical Talk – Reliability Function Near the Zero Error Capacity

University of Cambridge Lecture Theatre 6, Baker Building, Engineering Department, Trumpington Street, Cambridge

In this talk, recent new bounds on the reliability function of the so-called typewriter channels will be presented, which represent the prototypical example of channels with a positive zero-error capacity.

IEEE British and Irish Conference on Optics and Photonics (BICOP 2019)

The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2 Savoy Place, London , United Kingdom

BICOP 2019 will showcase the UK and Ireland's world-leading research and development in optics and photonics to global stakeholders with a proper balance of industry and academia.

Friday Lunch & Lecture: 5G: – Has UK PLC Grasped the Opportunity?

The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2 Savoy Place, London , United Kingdom

5G was launched in January 2019. What has been adopted; what infrastructure changes have occurred; was the early hype realised; has it affected the economy; have new technologies developed; what is the future in the UK of 5G technology? Have GCHQ worries about the security to vital infostructure and infrastructure materialised?
