The IDA- Group gave a talk at the inaugaural workshop by the HDR UK Synthetic Data Special Interest Group:

Congratulations Yani Xue for successfully defending here thesis titled “Effective and Efficient Evolutionary Many-Objective Optimization”

Congratulations to Lilly Yousefi for passing her PhD viva with minor corrections.

Thesis Title: “Opening Artificial intelligence Black Box Models: Disease Prediction and Patient Personalisation Using Hidden Variable Discovery and Dynamic Bayesian Networks“

Lilly is now working at Brunel Biosciences in collaboration with the Turing Institute and UCL.

A collaboration between the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), MHRA Medical Devices Division and researchers at Brunel University has led to the creation of two innovative synthetic datasets which will support the development of cutting-edge medical technologies to fight COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease. More detail here.

Congratulations to Erfan Sajjadi and Ben Evans for their succesful submissions to the SOGOOD workship at ECML this year:

Erfan Sajjadi et al. Building Trajectories over Topology with TDA-PTS: An Application in Modelling Temporal Phenotypes of Disease

Ben Evans et al. Reasoning about Neural Network Activations: An Application in Spatial Animal Behaviour from Camera Trap Classifications

Other new publications from the group include:

Congratulations to Mashael who passed her PhD viva with minor corrections!

Thesis title: “Machine Learning for the Transparent and Unbiased Prediction of Student Performance”

The Group is on lockdown but work continues:

Seminars are continuing online

Some staff are volunteering their hardware and data analysis skills at Hillingdon hospital

A collaboration with the MHRA and CPRD will result in synthetic primary care data being made available for Covid19 research.

Biraja Ghoshal has been exploring his methods for identifying Covid19 from lung images: https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.10769
