Self-awareness for autonomous systems

Intelligent Monitoring and Control of Interconnected Cyber-Physical Systems

The emergence of interconnected cyber-physical systems and sensor/actuator networks has given rise to advanced automation applications, where a large amount of sensor data is collected and processed in order to make suitable real-time decisions and to achieve the desired control objectives. However, in situations where some components behave abnormally or become faulty, this may lead… Continue reading Intelligent Monitoring and Control of Interconnected Cyber-Physical Systems

Real-World Learning

In the past decade, artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress, achieving feats like self-driving cars, defeating go-masters, and precise image categorisation through supervised deep learning with labelled data. However, a significant challenge is that deep learning models tend to be biased towards their training conditions and struggle in real-world situations that differ from their training… Continue reading Real-World Learning

Introduction to Tropical Geometry and its Applications to Machine Learning

Tropical geometry is a relatively recent field in mathematics and computer science combining elements of algebraic geometry and polyhedral geometry. It has recently emerged in the study of deep neural networks (DNNs) and other machine learning systems. In this talk we will first summarise introductory ideas and tools of tropical geometry and its underlying max-plus… Continue reading Introduction to Tropical Geometry and its Applications to Machine Learning
